Ayoba ! vs. the Dirty Ducks

Ayoba! played the Dirty Ducks this past weekend and managed a draw, not bad considering the night before. Bee’s birthday could not go uncelebrated, despite our important upcoming match against the very serious Ducks. The usual Muir Road festivities went onto DecoDance and later some of our team, urged on by our own coach, visited our ‘lovely’ foreign friends down the road. But come Sunday, faces were painted with blue warrior stripes and Ayoba! tried to take the game in their stride.

Without a goalie Robs got stuck in and just managed to keep in last night’s wine and jelly shots. Bee had a great birthday time up front, looking very serious in Don’s childhood ‘clown’ top, and Shells tried her hardest to miss every ball. With some of our strongest forwards feigning illness, Jess a ‘cist’ won’t quite cut it next time, and Em trying to hog the middle, poor Juls had to hold on strongly to her centre position. But the biggest surprise of the day was Georgie Porgie’s keenness to participate; it must have been that certain someone watching. Simon please make sure you’re there every Sunday.
