Scuttlebutt Lad Episode 2
April 20th, 2010 by PressKnackered. Just knackered. And it only bloody Tuesday!
20/04/10
The day starts at an ungodly hour, 6:45am, however expectations of a match against a Saturday League team encourages me to made an English breakfast. Truly splendid food with 3 sausages, bacon, bean beans, a duck fried egg (extra protein in these {man on the street told me that}) and some toast. And of course the protein shake! I might be the next Heston Blumenthal when it comes to protein…
Slightly nervy about the match today due to fact that these guys / old-men are probably heavier, uglier and definitely know all the tricks in the book in terms of making you feel the pain through and through.
Once again the morning and afternoon is spent revising for the exams… although this was made exciting from the fact of the day (found out on one of my numerous breaks from revision). Today is Adolf Hitler’s Birthday… let me go on… this is slightly unfortunate as there is another member of the club with the same birthday. No need to mention names but that fact definitely spanked my balls out the park!
Anyway the time slowly encroaches the 5.15pm meet time… give myself an hour to make some risotto with some chicken left over from the evening before. Leek and mushroom risotto with a breast of chicken (even Jamie Oliver would have been pleased with this one, considering it was from his cook book he should be!)
Late. Only by 10 minutes though. 35 lads wait by the James College cashpoint and there must be about a dozen cars… and out of those dozen cars we all decided to follow Mr Handy Andy. Sense of direction = bad. Avoidance of traffic = bad. Got us there finally = all right I suppose.
As one rightly knowing driver in his little red polo said; “When we started the journey I knew we should of turned left and not right”
Finally, the match. Hard is what I can say. Bodies bruised, joints ache, heads dizzy all in a day’s work for the UYRUFCans who won this tightly fought match till the very end. Heard there may be a match report if the Webmaster gets on it properly. A couple words I would say; Dash got bumped to the amusement of the crowd, Brian made his first break for about 5 years only to screw up his pass, and oh my god where did Bummer get his boots from to kick a conversion from the touchline??
Anyway long day and I got to prepare for the ruggers tomorrow!
Peace out UYRUFC Town,
