Bell ringer
The return of the Lobster seemed enough motivation to
bring the Sunday Morning Roadsters out of the
woodworks. Sporting his usual revealing European style
equipment, players seemed to have a little more jump
in their step as they zoned in on welting up the
veteran French keeper.
One player in particular decided to catch a few more
winks before the start of the game just to make sure
he had all his strength. "I was just trying to put it
on net," commented a tardy Unabomber, after blasting
his patented slap shot off the head of the Lobsterboy.
The bell ringing didn‚t seem to wake up his team,
however, as the tantalizing tandem of Kid and Bird
were free to roam anywhere on the court leading their
team to a 20-12 victory.
"We seemed to be chasing the ball around all day,"
said Gump. "They had a lot more open shots than we
did, I think Lobster did well to keep us in it."
On separate note, it was good to see the turn out this
week. For the first time in this young road hockey
season, each team had two full lines.
"There were some real rivalries out there today," said
Unabomber after the game. "I think it‚s attributable
to the turnout."
We can only hope that next Sunday‚s game will have the
same attendance. And perhaps, we‚ll finally see the
likes of the missing in action stars, Lak Attack,
Wendel and Wheels.
