Ronnie Ringer Alert as Village Eye Finish Line

Ronnie Ringer Alert !!!!

On Thursday, the mighty West End Saints play Blake Lapthorn in the penultimate match of the season.  Somewhere near maximum points in this one would mean that a win of any magnitude in the last game would guarantee winning the league.  So...  it’s a big moment and we have a selection crisis and not the kind of crisis where you have two evenly matched players and you have to choose between them.  Of our regular 13 man squad we have The Hubbard on holiday, Corporal Mackem Rob on a Tactical Deployment counting fish in Belize, Tommy 49 and JJ Gimp choosing to play for Hythe and Kevmac on family matters.  So – devastated...

On the plus side (honest) we have Mike Head returning after a few weeks off, no doubt spent fathering more kids.  Following last weeks unearthing of a Village legend, we tried to do the same this week but Dave Boy Green was missing in Jamaica, The Great Raymondo was in prison and there was still only one I in Baldwin.  We have managed to import one player from Portsmouth in Paul MacDonald and another from Croydon in Deepu Sadasivan.  Deepu’s recruitment is proof positive of the advantages of being the guy who answers all the emails that come into the league from players looking for a game.  Both players will be awarded their Village cap (straw hat) to mark their debuts.  It’s just a shame that Ed Parsons doesn’t play for us anymore so we can’t treat the new boys to the initiation of hearing him describe his 10 greatest innings in ball-by-ball detail.  So, Ronnie Ringer alert....

Team is:
1 Colin Day
2 Paul MacDonald
3 Sean Tongs
4 Deepu Sadasivan
5 Mike the Sprayer
6 Glen de la Cour
7 Steve Squirts
8 Luke Blackwell (choosing to play for us instead of Hythe – here’s a lad who knows what his priorities are, not like Tommy 49 and that Gimp)
9 Phil Jewell
10 Clive Davison
11 Seasick Steve
Footnote:  There is a website traffic gadget on the right hand side of the page which shows the location of those who look at this blog and how they got here.  It is with much amusement that I noticed yesterday that we got flooded with people who had googled ‘Seasick Steve cancels gig’.  I am keeping an eye out to see if we get linked to by the Danny de Vito Facebook Page.
