I’m sure all NOT PC’s readers will be as excited as I am to hear that my old footy team, the West London Wildcats, has lifted its sixth straight senior premiership in the British Australian Football league, defeating the Wandswoth Demons by 7 points after a hard-fought battle, fighting back from being 12 points down with 15 mins to go to push their noses in front.
Victory!
Sadly, it wasn’t a clean sweep for the clubs “sister” teams however, Shepherds Bush Raiders (named after my old Manurewa club) went down to Clapham Demons by 14, putting an end to the Raiders’s eight–year hold on the conference title, and the Ealing Emus lost their social footy title to the Wandsworth Demons.
Nonetheless, we got the title we wanted: Senior Premiers for another season! Congratulations to all the troops.
Oh, and congratulations too to the Poms who pulled off their own thrilling come-from-behind win in the Ashes, and to the All Blacks, who managed to deliver a win in Sydney if not a game for the ages.
UPDATE: Who says Australians don’t have a sense of humour about losing? Aussie Tim Blair’s recommends reading “Saturday’s cricket-themed column. Written, obviously, before cricket became a subject few in Australia wish to read about.”
