What up Cupola?

It’s sure been a while. I’ve been keeping myself busy, you know? Slamming revolving doors in Cuba, thinking the unthinkable in Nepal, some serious soul searching…it’s been a crazy year off. So there I am, freezing my a** off in the arctic when I get this call from a Palmer. Eurotrash are re-forming, I’m told. Only 5 of the class of 2008 are still around, I hear. We’ve got a ‘by’ to Division 2, I understand. Well I’ll tell you: I was sceptical. Who do these punks think they are messing with the Trash mojo?

So yesterday, circa approx 7.34pm on a sun soaked Regents Park I wander up ceegar in hand to witness a bloodbath. Those Trashers were out there playing for their lives against the EHS 4D Brann Group (or somerthing like that). They had 7 players who’d never played. They were hitting the ball and not running. They were dropping catches. What happened to the Eurotrash I used to know? Then I saw it. Their dabble in the field done, a trash laydee walked over to base, opened a bottle of wine, and preceded to top up a full paper vat. The Trash were back. All the beer, and no idea.

The class of 2010 have started slowly, but they have started. Despite losing 18 – 4 to EHS 4D, there was some outstanding skills shown on field. That Camilla Cramsie only went and caught out 3 of the opposition. With her wrong hand. Newbie Natasha Floyer made it home not once, but twice. Skilliskillicorn rocked up to the homeplate complete in aviators. Davey Barnet cleanly caught in outfield. And we sure won the banter war.

They got promise and they got style. Next week’s gonna be the first big win, and with some the drills I’m gonna have them running, Division 2 could be ours for the taking.

I’m looking forward to dishing out a little something I call revenge, nice and cold next Thursday against Mediacom. If you want ‘in’, hell I can train you.

And if you wanna see something to make you mad, read EHS Brann’s ‘school report’. They best enjoy it, coz we’ll be seeing them in the semi-final.

Enjoy the weekend and see y’all Monday,
