Hey BB One Each Please !!

This should be standard issue for each player, built in cooler at the base. And I want mine to have 3 VB, Two Bundy UP and a half bottle of a Rockford 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (plus one of those little glasses that has its own holder for sticking in the ground!!)

Subtle hint for next week.

We are Dry!!

After a hard days work, we had a man sized thirst, yet somehow the new BB gave us a thimbleful of beer. Seriously a mans not .....

Oldies 3 Youngish 1.




We may look tired and they may smile, but in the end who won?



Sunday, April 4, 2010

Training starts Wednesday 7 to 8:30pm.


Looks like all the oldies have asked to train Wednesdays,

35b's, 35d's, 45a1's and us 45a2's.

(So far, no other team is training on the ground.)

As you can see, we all got the western side of the park, which is not too bad as there is plenty of light.

My suggestion is to park off Davies St., for quick access to the important after training drinks .

REMINDER: $100 Club is being collected.

SEU showed what pussy's they really are





Southern 35's have pulled out of tomorrow's game with the Relics after hearing Crowch had ordered the new power bands for Axe, Blackbeard and Wrecking ball. Roos 35d's have bravely taken up the challenge.

Ohh Well


Blackbeard & Dallas stood watching the battle in the unrelenting humidity resulting in a 2-2 draw...........they sighed and turned away, perplexed!

Crowch Questions Relics Fitness

Crowch (Darchinyan has suggested we make a compound word out of Coach and Crow) has questioned the fitness levels of a number of Relics, after many came to a standstill, in a 2-2 arm wrestle with the Gosford Cavemen.

The Relics hit the paddock amid mild Autumn conditions minus Blackbeard, Dallas, George Best, Becks and Maximillion. Becks lost his battle with a calf injury following a searching pre-match fitness test ordered by Crowch. Blackbeard and Dallas obviously moonlighting as car mechanics turned up mid-match in overalls. Besty turned up inebriated and in no fit state to play while Maximillion was again missing in action.

Despite the ideal playing conditions many Relics failed to fire with many running like their grandmothers during the game. If you look closely at the blog post from Darchinyan, prior to this report, what appears to be a still photo is actually 30 seconds of real-time video footage of the Relics play mid-way through the first half. At one stage the Hat’s mum said give me a shirt and shorts, that lot out there are an embarrassment to the Kincumber Roos. It was at this point that Becks gave old Mrs Hat a stern rebuke by backing up his comrades and letting her know, in no uncertain terms, that the Relics were actually playing above themselves!

The Cavemen were first to strike at the nine minute mark, through a well telegraphed movement down the Relics right side. Many Relics stood back expecting Statue to make the simple tackle on the Cavemen’s lumbering left winger. Inexplicably Statue went missing in action, this time not in a Port Stephens bay, but down a rabbit burrow. This miss by Statue left makeshift keeper Iron Gloves stranded on his line as the ball dribbled into goal territory. It was at this point several young kid’s playing on the basketball courts received the worst possible Easter surprise. As Statue emerged from the rabbit burrow one of the kid’s screamed in excitement, look over there it’s the Easter Bunny! No it’s not replied his mate, it’s an ugly old statue. At this point both boys scampered home wailing for their mothers.

Late in the first third the Cavemen played their famous ‘turnstile move’ working a play through Reckin Ball and the Banker to register a second goal against the hapless Relics. The Relics went to the first break two goals down, looking down and out.

The second third commenced with the Relics peppering the Cavemen’s goal. The Relics soon hit back through some cunning canine manoeuvring from Howler who squirted a ball past the keeper to register his first Relics goal, after some enterprising lead-up work from the Shadow. This spurred the Relics on. Wild Thing in his first full hit out for the Relics was wreaking havoc in the left midfield, the Toe put some judicious balls downfield, while the aging ex-legend Mickledildo began to find glaring gaps in the Cavemen’s defence.

It wasn’t long before Darchinyan was able to score the Relics equalizer. The goal, however, was scored under false pretences as the diminutive Darchinyan was at least four metres off-side when he loomed onto Mickledildo’s through ball to score.
The unluckiest player on the park was without doubt the Axe. He swerved, he veered, he sneered, he charged, he sashayed, he shimmied, he glided, he was dynamite – but to no avail. He just could not put a ball through the goals.

Coach Crow Trys to Ask for another Lap !


In an extraodinarily (and previously unprecedented togetherness) show of timing and unity the team reacted to Coach'c viscious suggestion that they try to run a second 50 meter jog.

Killarney Vale move to U/35D's

It appears the U/45s comp has had its first casuality. I have been reliably informed that the Killarney Vale team from last year (not the Tossils) has moved back to 35D's.

I have also been reliably informed that both Howler and Ball caused a sensation in the mosh pit at the George Michael concert...more to come!

Training Saturday 3pm.


Next run on Saturday, 3pm Terry Oval.

First injury of the season goes to Ian who has fractured his ankle last Saturday, I think it was when he raced for the last beer. Going for further x-rays on Friday will keep us in touch.

Hope its not this bad.

Coach Crow happy with sharp session







The 2010 Relics looked sharp in a crisp training session on Saturday. The boys pushed the ball around well with new recruit and relative youngster Ian (Boy) George impressing Coach Crow. Coach Crow pleased with what he saw drew a close to training 5 minutes early as Howler and Ball had to get to a George Michael concert.
For those new players follow this link to see footage from a trial game last year. We wore the red shirts.

Relics Impress in Trial Win

The Relics have started season 2010 in style with a solid 2-0 trial win against Berkeley Vale last Sunday.

A stinging pre-game verbal from Coach Crow saw the rejuvenated Relics line up power to a convincing win. Coach Crow did not mince his words ordering his players to give 110% or else. He mixed a venomous death stare with a volley of abusive language to warn his chargers that anything less than their absolute best will not be tolerated. Coach Crow finished his pre-match tirade by asserting, “I don’t give a f*** if this is a trial game. I want mistake free football and if I get anything f***ing less I will have you’re a*se at training. At this point seasoned Relics began looking at each other wondering if the power had gone to Coach Crow’s head. New recruits Reckin Ball, Howler and Tony were sh**ting themselves. Mothers held their children tight. The Axe’s lips began to quiver.

In his eagerness to impress Coach Crow, Tony went too hard too early and limped from the field with a leg injury. Coach Crow has ordered intense physio for Tony and daily stints in a hyperbaric chamber to reduce his time on the sideline.

The Relics withstood some early pressure with Berkeley Vale mounting numerous attacking raids. The back four of The Banker, The Toe, Reckin Ball and Beckham, however, were more than equal to the task of repelling their opposition. As the first 20 minute third neared its end the Relics began to take charge of the midfield. Coach Crow was scintillating, a real soccer craftsman in action. Shadow, too, impressed with his deft ball-work, sending some great through balls to Darchinian and wide balls to Statue and Howler. This pressure finally led to the first goal.

The second and third periods saw the Relics take control of the game. The second goal saw Blackbeard latch onto one of Shadow’s balls and put it past the luckless Berkeley Vale goal keeper.

The Relics were a happy bunch as they left the field, obviously content with their first hit out for the season. Unfortunately this was not a view shared by Coach Crow. Coach Crow drew several players aside, including Blackbeard, and read the riot act to them about some minor blemishes in their respective games. Blackbeard took the criticism on the chin and promised Coach Crow he would be sharper and more focussed next match.

The big talking point post match (after Coach Crow left) was the bizarre behaviour of Coach Crow. The Hat has volunteered to approach Lorraine to see if she could crush a couple of Valium into his Saturday lunches.

A big thanks to Mickledinho and Man Mountain who helped out in goals.

Prior to their match the Relics were treated to a soccer spectacle as the much vaunted Kincumber All Stars took to the field for their first match. The All Stars pushed the ball around like seasoned champions and despite losing 1-0 to a Berkeley Vale All-Age 6 outfit looked dominant for the majority of the match. Best on field for the All Stars were Roy, Diamond, Brumby and Mountain.

Welcome new players to the RELICS.

Good to have you on board Mark, Greg, Rob, Ian, Tony & Phil.

$100 Club.

As per usual we will be running the $100 Club this year. If possible we would like players to put $100 at the beginning of the season for the year's ref fees, however you can choose to pay $7 on match day. Anyone wanting to join the club see me.

Training on Wednesdays at 7pm.

We are aware that some of us will not make Wednesdays training, however it suits the majority. I will be missing 50% of training nights due to work, but will try and join in with another club team on the Thursday.

Training this Saturday.

Lets hope for cool weather for our next training game, this Saturday 4pm at Terry Oval.

Bandanna out for season

The bandanna is out for the season in exchange for sun protection cream and a wrist sweat band, in the past the bandanna has only proved to be a target with calls such as 'kill the pirate' (and that was from my team mates) so it is that the bandanna has been retired but the pirate lives to fight another day......

Diamond Transfer Strengthens Both Teams

Diamond Transfer Strengthens Both Teams

2009 Relic Kevin “Diamond” Reid has signed with the Kincumber “All Stars”. The All Stars have been put together by another 2009 Relic Roy O’Hara. The Silver Brumby has reportedly also bolted to the All Stars line-up. All Stars architect Roy O’Hara did not actively seek the Diamond Reid transfer. It is understood by this correspondent that Diamond negotiated his own transfer deal, and that the deal may have involved significant amounts of his own money. Transfer deals aside, knowledgeable observers of o/45s football believe that the Diamond transfer will strengthen both the Relics and the All Stars for the upcoming season.

Mickledinho Finds Fountain of Youth

2009 Relics Captain Mickledinho has apparently found the fountain of youth in the off season and is headed to the o/35 league for the 2010 season. Mickledinho will no doubt stand out in this league, and as the 2008 35c’s player of the year, he has a reputation to live to. He may even win a toss! Good luck Mick!

Downhill Dave Goes West

The 2010 Relics will be without the services of legendary club stalwart Downhill Dave. Downhill Dave will no doubt keep in touch with the boys on the Blog and will be an early starter on the esky when his home breaks coincide with Relics matches. Moves are afoot to have Downhill’s number 15 retired until he returns…

New Signings Bolster Relics Stocks

A handful of new Relics signings will complement the Relics nucleus which have been competitive in all leagues contested over the last four years. Mark Wheatley returns, along with new signings Greg “Howler” Howell, Rob “Wrecking Ball” Reckin, Ian George and Tony Buttwell.

The 2010 Relics

The following form guide features the known Relics for 2010.

The Axe – Still working his way to 45. Very sharp at the first training run showing he had not lost any of his skills during the off season. Pleaded with Coach Crow to mark Diamond Reid in the first local derby. Axe, however, went cold on the idea when Coach Crow said that marking Diamond would probably mean spending most of the match on the bench!

Howler – New recruit. Very speedy with good ball skills. Will no doubt improve sharply with a few games under his belt. Looks fit.

Shadow – Had a great finals series in 2009. Respected by team mates and opposition teams alike. Excellent football brain and skills. Can’t help it if he’s a Pommie!

Dallas aka Beer Bitch – Hopefully off season anger management counselling has worked. Temperament a major concern for Coach Crow. Steroid abuse issues also believed to be under control. Has assumed Beer Bitch duties for 2010. Blotted his copybook when only blue filth was available at first training. Note to BB – Coach Crow and the man with the pen both drink VB!

Man Mountain – Best keeper in world football. Relics best player on numerous occasions in 2009. Great team man who volunteered his home for post match gatherings on several occasions. Big hands and big feet!

Darchynian – Pound for pound the best football player in the league but has a glass jaw. Reigning o/45s player of the year. Looking for a big season without the responsibility of coaching. Watch this player!

The Toe – Confirmed at Saturday training that he had lost no power in his toe. Rugged defender. Look to him for some goal saving moments over 2010.

Wrecking Ball – New recruit. Star hockey player. Looks to be an uncompromising defender with a reputation as a hard man. Has shaven off all excess hair in an attempt to get that extra yard of speed so necessary in o/45s. Will make his presence felt.

Ian George – New recruit. Yet to be seen at training. No team name yet. Noted midfielder who is a transfer to Kincumber from another club where he played 35a’s. His daughter Sian stars for Kincumber in the juniors. If he is as good as her he will be an asset for the Relics in 2010.

Tony Buttwell – New recruit. No Team name yet. Leftie who looked very skillful at training on Saturday. Looks fit and capable of going all day. Has obviously played a great deal of football in the past. Will certainly test the opposition this season.

Statue – Looking fit for the 2010 season. His off season fitness work with personal trainer Ramon has certainly paid dividends. Unleashed a bevy of shots at training on Saturday. Look for a big season and an even bigger end of season trip.

Coach Crow – Eager for season 2010 to commence. Reported to be extremely happy with his roster and is looking to take the Relics to even greater glory this season. His own form also looked sharp on Saturday. Don’t be surprised if this man is doing plenty of Crowing at the end of season 2010!

Maximillion – Yet to be seen at training in 2010. Reported to have trained hard during the off season. Sure to give the esky a huge nudge again this season. Note to Beer Bitch – this man hates an empty esky!

The Hat – Yet to be seen at training in 2010. Looked fit, however, placing a bet in the Kincumber Pub. Reported to be very eager for the local derby against the All Stars. Look to him for a big season in 2010.

The Banker – Ever reliable defender who leads the back three well. Form, however, seems to have gone south since he gave up the grog last season. Looks to be over the injuries suffered in 2009. Get back on the piss Banker!

Mark Wheatley - Enthusiastic and skilled midfielder. Will find that wearing a bandana is not 'de rigueur' in o/45s. Yet to get a team name (and it won't be "Wheats"). Very fit. Look to him for a big season

Great turn out on a very hot day.

Regrets?

Hey guys.
With regrets I am informing you all that I am not playing over 45's with the mighty Relics this year as Steve O has offered a contractual agreement of 2 beers per training session and 4 per match day to join the Rebel over 45's.
NOT. Actually I am joining an over 35 side with a bunch of guys I played with for 2 or 3 years in all age competitions and had a great time with.
I have really enjoyed the formation of the Relics. The comeraderie, the highs, the lows, the beers, the beers and BB's match reports but more importantly the friendships and new people I have had the pleasure of playing with.
I wish I could explain personally to everyone my reasons for leaving such a great bunch, and whenever we see each other face to face I will let you all know, but in the meantime, I wish you guys all the best for the season ahead.


MICK

BTW. 2 cartons of beer per week would never get me playing against you blokes and in the words of Jeff Fenech "I Love you'se all"
