A great days soccer with The Dads running out worthy winners by the golden goal - who scored it?
    I don't know, there'll be about 18 claims going in, I expect, and 19 of those will be from Robbie Thorpe who wasn't even there!

To the Victors, the beer  

    There was one other incident of note . . . . .

  Sean Whelan The forever present stalwart for Springhill dads has suffered a serious calf muscle tear in today's game at the sports centre.

  Whelan was making another blistering run when he suddenly pulled up in agony and left the ground immediately to head for hospital.  It is thought that This could be the end for sean Whelan's prolific career,

  Specialist are monitoring his condition and have reported that the next few days are crucial for the future of his development.

Things must have gone really well . . . . we haven't seen him since!!!! (Ed)

    The Dads Fixtures and Stats Secretary has been having a bit of time of recently and made an impassioned plea to the Dads for rome help with the results and scorers of the recent games.

    Hey, you lot - I've not been along to a few games now and I've sort of lost track. Can you'se fill me in on the dirt on these games , please.
     Like the final score and who scored our (if any . . . . don't laugh) goals!
     Sunday 3rd November - Springhill Dads v Securicor
     Friday 15th November - Springhill Dads v Bellemoor Old Boys
     Sunday 1st December Springhill Dads v Environmental Health
     Friday 13rd December Springhill Dads v P & O

    Andy reckoned he scored in the Dads - E'mentalists game - a1 - 5 victory for the Mentalists and Andy scored with a 60 yard left foot volley!

    Jim thinks he might have scored one, "I scored one goal somewhere!" and He thinks he knows who scored the golden Goal, "it was scored by Patrick Moore, OBE.  The Mayor of Southampton's personal valet scored one of the goals v P&O. Emelda Marcos and Wayne Sleep got a brace v someone else."

    Robbie typically self-effacing suggests;, in the Dads v Securicor game the Dads won 7 - 2, Robbie got 7 and Sean got 2 (og),  in the Dads v Bellemoor game the Dads won 4 - 1, Robbie got 4 and Sean got 1 (og), in the Dads v Mentalists the Dads lost 3 - 4, Robbie got 3 and Sean got 4 (og) and the Dads v P & O game which the Dads won 17 (Thorpe 16), (Medway 1) - 0 "
    Thanks Robbie, that's a big help - Ed.  The boss must have had a day off!

    Chris Andrews would like to put the regord straight, "I think Rob's doing himself a bit of injustice here - he didn't mention that he saved a penalty in every game & provided the half-time entertainment on his mobile karaoke machine, his rendition of Unchained Melody during the Bellemoor game made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up!"

    Slack O'Neill is so sure who needs filling in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "How dare Thorpe claim my goals in his vain attempt to wrest my coveted ( and expected ) golden boot award for this season.  
     Cheers, Slack
     PS   I have included a new bladder on my xmas list this year, my old ball has gone flat."

    Robbie's tongue in cheeck reply questions Slack's undoubted footballing skills. " I think Mr Slack is getting mixed up with the 'standing leg ball hit award'."
      Who can forget that magical evening when Slack come up to watch the Dads at play with his brocken leg in a sling and just couldn't stop himself from getting involved.  He must have hammered about 5 past Robbie that night whilst loitering on the corner of the 'D' - Ed. (change from loitering around down St Mary's - but that's another story)

    Martin is also sympathetic to the old boy's plight, " That sounds very painful and could be the cause of slackness of the bladder."
