The action finally got underway after some pre season outings that ended in stalemate, and it was an old name that took the early lead in this years title hunt.
However there is a new contender in the daft performance of the season category. Combining the theatrical talents of the Ghost of Fenz Lounga and the limp wristed girly throwing of Windy Burnfart, Bugle Boy's bizarre display in the middle of the second half got the points panel talking, was it genius or rank ineptitude?
It began with the ball sailing over the bar, as the assembled throng strained to get a bit of their body on the ball, it somehow landed in BB's hands, the cry of "Handball" resounded through the hallowed Bushy End. In an attempt to expunge his misdeed BB instantly threw the ball back towards the goal, but weak wristed tossing was in evidence and the ball bounced off the back of the bar and on the way bowled HIS pint of beer clean over, cue considerable and understandable abuse. After considerable bickering and bitching BB was judged by the panel to have accidentally handled the ball, no penalty, thrown like a girl, -2 points, knocked over his beer -1 point (it would have been a lot more if it was our beer!!!!), but provided a fine level of entertainment +2 1/2 points, meaning he now has 1/2 a point.
BB was also involved in the other point scoring incident. Another wayward ball bounced just behind the goal and headed towards the crowd. With commendable speed BB moved to claim the points, but failed to notice the presence of a pole, a real one not a person from Poland. Appreciating the trajectory, Pukin calmly took his cap off, watched the ball bounce over the stranded BB (it wasn't his day for bouncing) and accurately headed the ball back onto the field of play, 3 pts. This was followed by a fine display of his knowledge of Anglo Saxon from BB.
So the table:
Pukin 3 pts
Bugle Boy 1/2 pt
The rest all 0
At this very early stage, what price another Pukin title?
