Other memorable plays included Maty's forced play at the plate, a lesson to all youngsters of what not to do; Gump's no ball tag and cart wheeling base running, Shoei's agility at first base, Choat's two error play and Choc incredibly ending up in Jannali Reserve whilst fielding a ball from centre field hit to centre left at Bonnet Bay. One for the ages. Special thanks to Captain Kegga for his tireless work behind the scenes, Shoei for his guidance, aura and Shoeiness, and also to our scorer Larraine. Also many thanks to all

Then there is the Phantom, Andrew Bernath. Let me set the scene. Game 1: Mike invites Andrew, his brother, over the night before the game. Andrew is so blind drunk we don't see him until round 6, then he plays 1 game then goes walkabout, and so on and so on. Phill (I once could play) Boseley was also a regular in our side. We are not quite sure which side he actually played for, or where he came from, but we would often see him milling around the back of our dugout and then he would be on our line up Tony (the angry ex‐cop) Maber also played more games for us than his own side. Tony is like a worker in the cross: he will play with anyone just for the enjoyment. Phil (where did my hair go) Trevenar was also a valuable player helping us out with, um, not much. Last, there is me and, whilst I was looking over my flock, I realized we had a really shit side, but somehow we made it to a Grand Final, which we would have won, if I had pitched the whole game! I was by far the best player for the season although my stats might not show it. It’s probably because Larraine (where’s my wine?) Goddard needs to watch a little more closely, when scoring. We had a voting system for MVP, which clearly does not work In Closing I would like to thank the whole team for a very enjoyable season and it will be a pleasure to take you all under my wing again and nurture you and watch you blossom.

As expected, our pitching was first class, led by Iceman, Pistol and Bootsy, when available, and Bootsy Junior a revelation when filling in for the old fella’ when he wasn’t available. Behind the plate, Gibbo was striking fear in to the runners with his golden arm. So, after it looking as though our season was over, we finished the regular season in 2nd place. Our first final ended with a convincing win against the minor premiers, with Bootsy mesmerizing their batters for 5 digs and Pistol picking off runners, after being dragged in to catch, and belting a home run to give their pitchers something to think about. This was despite the fact that they had unexpectedly managed to bring 2 pitchers into their team after the re‐grades that would have been better suited to 2nd or 3rd grade. So, straight to the Grand Final we went, with the knowledge that we were capable of beating anyone on our day. Unfortunately, the fairy tale ended there. We played well, with strong fielding and courageous batting, but Illawong were just a bit too strong on the day. Overall, it was a great year. It was great to see us start to really gel as a unit, and to believe in our ability as a team. I hope we can stick together, and go one better next year! Special thanks go Jan for baring all sorts of weather to record our scores, and to Nashy for keeping us organized, and helping me out when needed. John Pigot

John Stewart John’s pitching in the Semi‐Final was tremendous, and his attitude to playing the game is a joy to be around. Sponsored by Voltaren, many games he was hurting but toughed it out because we were short. It was noticed and appreciated, mate. Joe Potter Coach, leader and CIC (Commander in Constipation after some

f our displays). Joe’s heart and competitive spirit binds the side

together like the fluffy handcuffs in a brothel. Joe added to his home run tally again this season, was second in batting and MVP voting. Matt Prokop Welcomed back to the team he started his senior career with. Matt fits in, whether sledging with the best of them (his own team mates, mostly) or filling in on first base when the premier first baseman was injured. Thanks to Stuart Martin for his time help improving Matt’s skills. This season Matt learned his most valuable lesson .... don’t leave your girlfriend alone after a game to chat with your mates. Mick Jones Mick signed up to enjoy playing and have a beer, both of which he did. After a slower start, adjusting to the pace of the grade (or lack thereof), Mick would have won the batting averages if it spanned the full season, not just the regular season. Owen Sharman Owen’s second season saw him nearly knock a few pitches out of the park ... unfortunately he was on the mound. Apparently his nickname “Bubble Butt” has nothing to do with gum. Missing the final through prioritising attending a Yankees game in New York, he was missed. In spite of missing some of the games through work, he deservedly won the MVP. Rob Goodman Finals are coming up? Must be time for my Ski holiday ... next season Joe is buying him a calendar and highlighting the weeks he cannot travel ... Once again our main pitcher with a respectable ERA of 6.75 and pitching 32 innings this season. In batting Rob added another pass time he is successfully batting

n the other side (I mean switch hitting, not cross dressing ...

which is of course the first pass time ....) Rhys Lewis Rhys joined the side knowing he could only play 2:30 pm games which the schedule had very few of. With little game time, when we needed him to pitch in the Final he stepped up and gave it all he had. Thanks Rhys.
