Beer Club V Colyton FC - 6th September 2011.
Great Finish to the Season.
On Tuesday 6th September, the boys from Beer met at Beer Social Club for their journey to Colyton to take on the winners of the triples and pairs titles this year. A hard task indeed for our last game of the season but surely one of which our sturdy team are up to. Captain Mimi alias Don Estelle from It Aint Arf Ot Mum in his embarrassing desert uniform with ivory white snooker cues appearing from his khaki long shorts, Sparky Paul, Lanky Sam and a very welcome return of Andy the Fish, now recovered from his bout of illness. Paul was acting as 'white van man' to transport us to Colyton Football Club where we met with Too Accurate Bob and The Smokestack Slimmer. The first game was a mammoth match with Bob and Maurice taking on the pair from Colyton. Colyton took an early lead and maintained that for some time. Maurice was getting his length too long and the boules kept skidding on too far, but Bob was at his accurate best and kept Beer in the hunt. Maurice began to find his length and our pair fought gallantly back to 7-9 and what was to be the final end they found two shots to win the game 9-8. A great start 1-0 to Beer. Next match, once again Mimi selected man in form, Paul to play with him. So well did Paul play that with Mimi completely misjudging the run of the piste, consistently threw his boules too long, Paul kept them in the game and with his carefully selected Damn Buster throws to combat the roll, contrived to win the game 9-7. Thus a great start 2-0 to Beer. The next game brought Andy and Sam together and although their opposition of Rodney, many times winner of national championships and his equally gifted partner, were a team of some strength, they were not up to the fine bouling of Andy and Sam who romped home 9-3. What a wonderful last match Beer were having as they led 3-0.
Now for the triples, were Beer to extend their lead further? The first trio comprised of Maurice, Paul and Mimi. Poor Paul was now labouring under a painful back injury from carrying Mimi through the previous game, and with him not at his best and the lengths of Maurice and Mimi somewhat awry it was understandable that our trio fell by the wayside to lose 1-9. Now 3-1 to Beer as Andy, Bob and Sam came to the piste. The Colyton team now having had their confidence restored and the Beer trio perhaps lack lustre having already the match under their belts, played mediocre boules and soon experienced a 1-9 defeat. Beer then had won an exceptionally important game 3-2. A grand performance from a fine body of men.
Hence the season has now concluded. A good season for Beer in their first season in the premiership, we ended up midway in the division and I have no doubt we will improve further next year. Many thanks to all players. We missed Big Kim for a lot of the season due to work commitments but next year with him on board our results will be even better. Thank you also Kim and Lady Jane for the delicious food at every home game. It will be a sad loss for the Slimmer throughout the close season. A big thank you to all those that provided transport for the season, especially Sparky Paul, the Green Van Man. We hope next season to get Coach Pete and La femme Fatale back into the fold, they were sorely missed this year. Thanks also to Peco Pete who turned up for us at the last moment on two occasions. Also thanks to Prickle our amber nectar dispenser, a stalwart indeed. All those who have given us support have been much appreciated as well. Thank you all. We would also give thanks to our captain, Mimi. He has brought out the best in us as everyone had to work harder to compensate for Mimi's waywardness, next year he will have to be told that winning shots are those nearest the jack not furthest away. His selection policy has been interesting and like many of his decisions has defied all logic. Well done Mimi, we all love you (well you did say this column was not entirely accurate) If any readers of this are tempted to play boules for Beer, please contact anyone at the club, we are always open for new members. At the beginning of next season we will be having a fun evening which constitutes a practice for anyone interested. Finally thanks to Dave Bilko Mutter for ensuring the accuracy of these reports and the fact that it gets on to the web. Well done Dave.
Thank you readers also for reading this column every week even when in Lanky Sam's absence Mimi tried to string a few words together and although lacking in accuracy he at least kept the column active.
