Round 3 Lions v Rams - Abbreviated (0 - 1 + 3 Draws)

Another series of rotations amongst the younger cubs possibly sending Bookface into meltdown pre match with heavy rain creating doubt for turf conditions, where else can I get a game?? Have to play, have to play, need to play, want to play ---- ADHD into over drive.

In the thunderous lyrics of Meatloaf with a passionate crescendo- "Stop right there, I wanna know right now, before we go any further ......" we can tail off from there for the rest. Younger readers, spend a few moments in actual conversation with your parents to allow them the chance to cast minds back to Paradise By The Dashboard Light and other classics from Meatloaf that were given birth in the seventies which did last a long, long, long time. Some may even have a loose connection to your own creation.

Right now, take a deep breath - back to have to play etc, et al, ad nauseum. We all want to play, that is a given. But accept that we all want Lions to play to the absolute best of capable and unknown ability in the best conditions, with the best club, in the best competition. Again though sincere apologies to Vermont South as they are flying.

Only the 2nd XI got started, the effervescent Planet delivering a surface conducive to a quality contest. Only problem was that for most of the 31 overs abbreviated match like sheep dogs, we were chasing the Rams but they were not going where we wanted. Bowling attack coughed up 16 wides, makes it rather tough as Dyno Bells and Torch could not get any traction, Fireman and Myo Kimbo suffering pain as well. Always tough to chase 7/211 against last years GF combatant and a very well drilled bowling group although Tom Tom and Dyno Bells did allow the sniff factor to become alerted when the chase commenced.

Off field the supporting, non playing Lions became exposed to many distractions including Mauries playing cards, a deck that are definitely not approved by Crown, but where a game of match the player to the image unfolded. Cat Shagger was asked to consider a club function involving the services but methinks that wiser heads have prevailed.

Tom Tom, now searching for a nick name transfer due to a Junior Waugh like back hand flick direct hit run out - was inspired and savage on anything short. Alas his run out joy as the fielder invaded his batting brain and Dyno Bells was cut short fror 40 from 38 balls.

Bart quinellas the Cup with Viewed the victor. Alas another wasteful error with Little Guus and Jester at the same end when hope was still a flicker but alas short were we. With so much self infliction, the effort tomorrow at the Albert will be interesting.

Rest up overnight young Lions, Demons await.
