Beer Bitch Blind - and NO - he is not at the races!






The Beer Bitch was yesterday struck in the eye by the ball and is currently fighting for his sight.

Nearing the end of yesterday's session the BB was accidently struck by a Mickledinho thunder-drive (toe-poke). Within minutes BB had lost all sight in his right eye and ferried himself to his GP who referred him immediately to Gosford Hospital.

Concerned team-mates were heard to exclaim: It's OK you have two! Who's going to look after the beer? What do we do with the Esky? How am I going to get home? Who's going to collect the fees? Who's going to score our goals? I hope he remembers Coke for the Esky next time? Obviously BB is a vital cog in the Relics machine!

In a frantic four hours at Gosford Hospital, two subcontinent in-turns, with a combined eye trauma experience of three minutes, worked furiously to restore BB's sight.

Today BB has regained much of his sight and is resting comfortably. It appears that the blow caused internal bleeding in the eye and as the eye filled with blood BB's sight disappeared. It is understood he will see his Dr today for a specialist referral during the week.
