Walking Wounded 2004 Write up

Yeah Flinders...
For those that didn't come (which wasn't many), and for those that are overseas (which also isn't many ) Flinders had a very exciting, glamorous, fantastically wicked GRAND FINAL tonight. We had a full squad of 11 people, and may their names go down in history for all time (apologies to those without obvious nicknames).

For the ladies:

Barbara 'Babs' Weil
Kristy Wilson
Elisa Bergshaven
Amy Beal

Yeah Flinders Ladies!!!

And for the gents:

Michael 'Pebs' Peberdy
Michael 'Wabz' Abbot
Roger 'Dodgy' Cranswick
Michael Leung
Shahryar 'Shah' Ahrestani
Joel 'Blue Steel' Pillar

Yeah Flinders Fella's!!!

As for the game, we started off fairly comfortably, going to half at 9-0 without too many problems. After the half, we struggled a bit and conceded a massive 3 points to the opposition. But after some stern talking to, and numerous "flinders...whooo!!!" cheers, we managed to get our heads back in the game and win it, 17-3. Talk of the game...Roger's massive lay for the wayward hammer, Shah laying for the disc, after telling the opposition what we were going to do :), plenty of other stuff, all fantastic.

Once again thanks to our regulars, the life blood of the team. And thanks also to the people that play when they feel like it. We probably didn't need you, but you added to the flavour anyway :).
