Get a load of the MOJO !!!

Dave, John and Brian.  You missed it!!  forget about yesterday's game, somebody will mention that but I want to celebrate the post match achievements. Many years ago when Dave Allan and I started talking about an over 45s, a key thing was that the team had to also get on off the field.  Last year we lost this a bit , But yesterday post match was brilliant.  The level of repartee and banter was at Olympic Gold level. This team has a wonderful variety of people, who are all expert at cutting down tall poppies, especially our so called strikers.  There was another match going on, but mostly we had our backs turned to it, way too interested in making sure we didn't miss any of the cutting comments. Lots and lots of laughter, great smart aleck smack downs, all washed down with good cheer and beer. 90 minutes after our win, it was still going, and if the esky had been bigger we'd probably still be there.  I sat ( not quietly) soaking it all in, revelling in hearing this wonderful TEAM environment.  An ageing member of the Original Relics summed it up to me when he said " The teams got its Mojo back". Great to see Vic and Wiz there as well, Dave Cullen where are you? I'm sure you would have still been able to contribute. And Brian popped in and then sped away wailing, sorry he couldn't be with us for longer. Keep this up guys and I will be able to retire, knowing that the Relics purpose and legacy is in great hands.  Yeah we play for the game, but surely it's this bonhomie , the fact that we still can play, we should be grateful for it,  and enjoy it and our team mates , that's really why we still play. Welcome to 2014 season everyone. Hat
