Good morning and welcome to season 2016
I will start with an apology in regards to my non-attendance last week for the season opener and hence no match report.
I have been told by sources close to me that BBB and the VC were commanding in their games. However, I have no proof, so as far as I am concerned, it never happened.
As the Toucher's head into their 7th year of Touching you sensed apprehension, anxiety and a touch of gout on the big left toe.
The chronicle of truth, Wikipedia, tells us that the 'The seven-year itch is a psychological term that suggests that happiness in a relationship declines after around year seven of a marriage.'
Now let me just talk to that point for a moment. In our first 3 years we were Undefeated [except for that ill fated game when we were illegitimately matched against a Gen Y team in year 3] and 3 times Champions.
But like any meaningful relationship we wanted more. So we left for the fields of Narrabeen, only to lose in dual Grand Finals in years 4 and 5. In year 6 we moved inland to the Park known as Hassle and played a game that shall not be mentioned.
So, during the off season under the swaying palm trees on an island located just a few degrees north of the equator, owned by Sub Committee Chairman, Milt, a decision was made in a vote of 5 to 1, to return to our first love, BELROSE TOUCH FOOTBALL.
Who voted to stay playing the game that shall not be mentioned you ask? I'll never tell, will I Super Coach?
At 745pm AEDT, the Touchers took the park for Game 2.
Missing from the line up from week 1 was BBB who was the Keynote Speaker at the Super Dome for a conference on 'Living next to and in front of Neighbours who.....'. Also missing was the VC who was running a picket line at the same conference. BBB who was pointing out that its not okay for his neighbours to chant incessantly at all hours of the night whilst wearing.....
Oh the game report...I am back now. Sorry to digress.
The VC did eventually turn up and tried to tell us what we were doing wrong.
The game started under the confusion of no ref. So Young Plummer [awaiting nickname to be assigned] thrust himself forward to take up the whistle. He ran a tight ship in the first stanza.
The team was still rusty and some were still trying to get rid of that rash they got under the palm trees on that island.
It seems flick passes, like a reverse sweep in cricket, have infiltrated themselves into the skill set of certain players. Some can do it, some can't. Those of you who cannot, either look up my skills class on You Tube OR just stop doing it.
Old Plummer [awaiting nickname], part of an off season buy in two player deal put together by the VC, brought home a thrice of tries. [Thrice is a word from old English meaning Three...why didn't I just write Three ?? I am trying to educate some of you, OK].
The try of the night, no not that one...I'll get to that in a moment...was a sideline to sideline try and I think all 7 on the field touched the ball. The play started with the dummy half pass to the Rookie who swiftly off loaded to me, darting to my right I flick passed [see you tube skllls class] to the Chairman who swooped to the left and dropped players under, drawing in tiring defenders. The ball moved swiftly through the hands to the other side were the final pass was flicked to a flying try scorer.
Now I didn't see who passed and who scored as I was busy Tweeting to my 79 followers how I feel 'Brexit' is good for the world economy. Yes its called multi tasking people. But whoever threw that last pass, must have watched my You Tube video on more than one occasion.
Now Young Plummer comes to us with a footballing resume of prestige. I don't include the Soccer years as they just don't count.
But a skill he has brought to us is the ability to see a hole in the defence and request that the ball carrier deftly pass him the pigskin as he 'the runner' runs like a startled gazelle through aforementioned gap in the defence and scoot away to achieve the primary goal in the game of scoring a try.
Now the pass is the easy part, or maybe some make it look easy [!!!], its 'the runner' who is key to this play.
There are some who have mastered the art and I place BBB, Rookie, SuperCoach, Muzza, Chairman, Jonty, Bulldog, Scary, Smithy, Old Plummer, of course Young Plummer in that category. Others amongst us would improve their game by perfecting the art of running into open pastures provided by the runner with the ball.
Yours in forever Touching

PS Oh yeah I almost forgot, the Chairman got in a stink in his first game back in the first few minutes he was on. Nothing like setting the standards high their boss. I expect to see others follow this line of activity in coming weeks.
