Round 5 - You might think you were happy but you're not

Seccers 2 Wii Not Fit 3

Seccers run of luck finally came to an end with a late try leaving them out of the top 4 with a 4-3 loss.

The boys struggled with numbers, fielding only 5 players in the first few minutes including a topsoil laden Haydos, who looked more like a chimney sweeper than his attempt to look like a hard working war horse. A possible 6th player disappeared quicker than a Tongan beach resident, as a shirt-less polynesian ring-in disappeared to another team who induced him with a real team uniform. Woody, who was sitting on the sideline plucking his chest hairs, eventually joined the game and finally Big Peter 'Tunks' and Burkie rocked up to give the team some relief.

The game saw Seagull put in his best performance for the season, scoring a solo try with his trademark right foot step kind of jink, stutterish thing... oh well, it fooled the slow reacting defender and made Seagull look very good.

Seagull was in all the action and threw a great ball to Grimmo who raced to the scoreline only to be tragically cut down with inches to the line.

We struggled to hit the ball up most of the game, and we were pretty ugly with the ball. But the guys defended their arses off and scrambled well to prevent further carnage. Both teams played a competitive game and were giving it to each other, and more particularly giving it to the aging geriatric ref who was always about a minute or 2 behind the play. Sheep stations certainly seemed to be on the agenda.

The boys came off the field at the end of the game, a bit disappointed, but proud of the effort they put in, particularly voiced by Rupes who did his bit on the sideline, straining his lungs through the broken ribs to help out the team. "You got to be happy with that effort boys" said Rupes in the pre-beer speech.

But the Seagull left his best until last, with his dry candour "You might think your happy with that, but you're not" as he wandered off without his beer.
