Issue Six: The Long Range Weather Forecaster
My esteemed friend and regular contributor to this column, Back End Bowler, wandered into the Club one afternoon recently and discovered the Twighlight People sampling the apple tart and ice cream lovingly prepared by Big Sean Mc Evoy for Gentleman Jim Copeland. Unlike the last offering, Jim was able to neck it before it was spirited away from the so called safe keeping of the fridge. Patrons had sausage rolls courtesy of Dino to start with as well. Why not pass by sometime and sit a spell or talk to Back End and get the lowdown from him!!!
Memo to Liam Trainor – listen laddie, you cannot sign up for everything!!! OK you may look over fifty five with your lack of follicles but the competition posted in the Jock’s Locker Room really is for the wrinklies! Try the Women’s section – they might be able to use you!
We wish Gerry Carson a speedy recovery. I can just see it now as he comes out of a deep sleep back in the ward after the operation. His eyelids flutter and reality returns and all he can see is Liam Laughran’s face hovering above him saying “ Are you going to eat those sandwiches?”
The Midweek Team continue with their winning ways. Next week is Magheradroll where Dan Cregan is fondly remembered by a certain lady down there. And talking of same, an informant reliably tells me that as a travelling supporter to the Cup game on Saturday, Danny Boy was whingeing about how he was going to get fed. Listen matey, the game is at Cookstown – pop into the sausage ( with added horsemeat ) factory and cadge a couple of reject porkers offa them!!
Which solo bowlist with Blue Eyes and green fingers phoned Pat Butler MSc to find out if Thursday’s game was still on given the inclemency of the weather and when told that it was cancelled asked was the game on Saturday still on!!!! Unfortunately Pat did not have his seaweed with him for a long range forecast so he was unable to tell him!!!
Another cleric joins the Club. In addition to our own long standing in house Monseigneu,r we have more recently been blessed with another wee priest - the good Fr. Eugene McCarthy. Have you ever noticed that people do a collection for a “wee priest” or a “wee nun” …..it’s never a BIG one!!
One of Father Eugene’s first tasks will be to take Gary Mc Williams aside for a little touch of anger management. Thanks to Gary’s team mates for their much welcomed indiscretion and letting me know of his little spat on the green!
Which Vet’s selector informed which Blogmeister that he was required for a game and the aforesaid Blogmeister duly turned up, having driven from Co Westmeath especially, only to be told by a second selector that he was not in fact needed. The first selector hid in the bushes until the second selector broke the bad news! It all ended well anyway, the team won, the Blogmeister was able to have a leisurely lunch and repair to the Club to partake of a few sherries and watch the second vet’s team also do the business! Well done both teams. If the Blogmeister had played, the chances of the first team winning would have been somewhat reduced!

Stories for the next issue:- Gerry Lee goes Thursday night shopping, the further adventures of Niall “Two Floods” Walshe, how to improve the performance of the Senior Team.
Until the next smooth delivery…………
