League 2008-2009
Yes – just in case you hadn’t heard, WE (Muckross) won the Vets League 2008 – 2009. (Pembroke are still recovering from the shock)
Our Magnificent Manager has been considering some very interesting and lucrative offers from rival clubs over the summer – but to date has resisted the temptation to cash in on our success – or maybe it was the promise of another major bonus from our cash strapped club that has made her stay. Anyway, like many of the celebrity circle she now mixes in, she has had some major “work” done over the summer (a nip here, a tuck there) and I’m glad to report that she is now back on form and sporting a very fetching new hair do!
Indeed, our success has galvanized some of our older longstanding members to dig out boots and sticks and put themselves forward for selection once again; welcome back Hilary and Basher!
Our performance at the 7 –a-side tournament in April perhaps reflected how “burnt out” we were after such a hard fought league season. Most memorable moments were Dynamo Dee taking on all comers for half the teams in the tournament and Mary MacSherry’s master class in “how to put your foot in it” with respect to our Magnificent Manager. “Should have gone to Spec Savers” Mary.
On a sad note – the Vets League will be the poorer for the absence of Ann Cox who passed away during the summer, may she rest in peace.
