SPRINGHILL DADS v P&O RANGERS
By U>Direct

The Dads seem to be loosiung a bit of interest; 5-a-sides very poorly attended. A plague of various minor ailments amongst the normally staunchest attendees - and no note from Mum! Goodness knows where Tim is off to - he cried off at the last minute.  Les Maros has a touch of housemaids knee and Robbie Thorpe reckons he's got a cold, huh! Unfortunately, Mad Mal has been dumped between the sticks, gulp.
Still, against P&O the Kids should be able to manage a result. Dave Smith will be playing for his colleagues, though, which won't help.

 After the Dads completed their limbering up and wandered into position, they eventually settled down for the kick-off.

SPRINGHILL DAD AT C & A

THE DAILY ECHO Monday October 23rd 2000


All Shopped out
Transformed shopper, Tim
The gauntlet was laid down and Woman took up the challenge. Hundreds of women wrote in response to the male-makeover competition with the offer of the chance of a completely new look, courtesy of the new menswear store Code in WestQuay. Here's how our winner - the man most needing a makeover in Southampton - was transformed.

Transforming Tim

For 34-year-old Tim Hart from Upper Shirley, creating a smart-casual look was the aim. Tim's wife Helen nominated him because the engineer at Chilworth Industrial Park hadn't quite mastered the art of dressing down.
 "He's a willing but reluctant shopper."

HALF TIME
DADS 0 - 4 P&O
There's a turn up for the book - 'Come on dads' - We can still win this!

Transforming Tim Second Half

"A little on the short side too at only 5ft 6in so he finds it hard to find the right clothes. He could really do with some advice on mixing garments in a complementary style. Tim is a busy man with DIY projects constantly on the go and our three sons - Sam 7, Peter 8 and Charles keep him active too.
 Tim was transformed into a trendy, man about town with a grey, casual suit teamed with a burgundy shirt that was smart enough for an evening out.
Tim said; "It's not something I would have chosen for myself but I love it. I'm amazed how comfortable it feels - normally I find suits very restrictive but I can move really easy in this one." 
Helen's verdict? " He looks wonderful. Stunning. Very Richard Gere-ish!"

 The Dads would like to echo Helen's sentiments and congratulate Code on a difficult job well done - and wasn't he!

Just about the only thing of note from a Dads point of view - towards the end, Jim Allen managed to upset one of the young lads who were playing for P&O and the lad was so upset, he trudged off  towards to changing room almost in tears. You rotter!

FINAL SCORE
P&O Rangers win by an innings
