Freak Injury Rocks the Fives

March 1, 2008

YC&AC Over 35s A 6 v YC&AC Over 35s B 7

With our scheduled fixture against who knows who having curiously been cancelled 15 minutes before kick-off [no comment], a friendly game broke out on the hill between Over 35s A and Over 35s B.

The free-flowing high-scoring game was a lot of fun but unfortunately was marred by a serious injury to Stuart Neie, which sadly rules him out for the rest of the season. Stuart somehow broke two bones in his foot in an innocuous looking stumble at the Swimming Pool End.

It’s a cruel blow for Stuart, especially with the Interport just a couple of weeks away, and of course it’s very bad news for the team too, with Stuart proving an increasingly solid performer at the back in recent weeks.

Most pressingly though, our squad for the Interport (Sat. Mar. 15, KO 13:45) now looks very thin. So just to reiterate Captain Sada’s recent message (forwarded by Alan on March 4): “We are desperate to have defenders for Kobe. Any volunteers?”

    I’m sure Gary would fly back if the team stumped up a coupla thousand quid…
