After a years absence the Rejects indoors was back and better than
ever!
Imagine the scene, It=92s Friday night, you=92re staggering home from a
club, it=92s 2:30 you=92ve been drinking since 8pm, you=92ve got a bus loa=
d
of Sneeeky=92s/Flying Lims and some of SFA staying at your flat and you
praise god for the fact that you worked out the tournament schedule on
Thursday.
Now lets move on a few hours, It=92s 10am you=92ve only been out of bed
for half an hour, you=92ve got the biggest hangover in the world, you
can=92t remember what the hell you did the night before and you=92ve just
found out at the captains meeting that 2 teams haven=92t turned up!
there goes all that carefull planning.
Not to be phased by the fact that we now had 10 teams instead of 12, a
new schedule was quickly put together (cheers Rich) and the games
began. The combination of the Wolverhampton spirit and Comic Relief
led to the appearance of some new team strips with the Flying Lims
donning surgical hats, masks and aprons and The Toffs and The Snobs
sporting the latest in designer DJ=92s and bow ties.
Saturday saw two pools of 5 playing round robin with some excellent
games. The most memorable point of the day had to be when Lardy Lloyd
from the Toffs did a behind the back =93set lunch=94 pass to Grandad Giffy
leaving Harry and Rich of Chevron to walk back with their heads
hanging low in shame after falling for such a dastardly trick. The
Blue Arse Flies easily won their pool but the other pool was a closer
call with Chevron, Nuns and Flying Lims all tied on 6 points.
In keeping with the Wolverhampton tradition Saturday night was party
night, after food everybody met up in a town centre pub and then
headed to =93Blast Off=94 to boogie till the early hours, after much
drinking, dancing and some of the worst jokes in the world (all of you
going to Edinburgh watch out for Emma and Susie especially if they say
=93...got any carrots?=94).
Sunday had a new venue with a huge no walls pitch and saw the bottom
two from each pool go into a 4 way round robin with play offs for
positions, with the winners getting the spoon. This was won by Nads
who just had the edge over the Rejects. The top 6 teams played the
three from the opposite group that they hadn=92t played on the Saturday
to give a cummulative points total to establish positions 1 - 6, these
then played off for final positions. The plate final saw the Nuns
beating the Mad Kows with Chevron and Flies (who hadn=92t lost a game)
lining up for the final. Both teams wanting to show their form before
the Nationals meant we were in for an excellent game.
Blue Arse Flies pulled out an early lead but some choice words from
Kenny in the Chevron camp saw them lift their heads and pull back
level. There was some great play from teams as they traded points to
9-9 at the end of 25 mins, a two point cap was introduced and Chevron
took the first point. Not to be out done the Flies came back to make
it 10 - 10. The atmosphere was electric as the two teams lined up for
the final point with Flies pulling to Chevron, Chevron hucked the disc
to the endzone line and called a tactical time out to discuss their
options. Unphased, Flies took up their defensive positions and waited
for the cuts. Some excellent D meant that Chevron=92s set play was a no
go but after much cutting and shouting the disc went up to be caught
by Rich for the winning point.
A great final to finish off a great weekend that saw some excellent
spirit on and off the pitch. The spirit trophy went back to Edinburgh
for a third year running being won jointly by Sneeeky=92s and Flying
Lims with the final positions as follows;
1 Chevron Action Flash - Trophy
2 Blue Arse Flies
3 The Toffs
4 Flying Lims - joint Spirit
5 Nuns - Plate
6 Mad Kows
7 NADS - Spoon
8 Hot Stamp Rejects
9 The Snobs
10 Sneeeky=92s - joint Spirit
Hope you all had as much fun as me, see you next year,
Martin
The Snobs
