Ferrets Emphatic in Response

Eradicated, a free fall down the Premiership Table........ a season destroyed!!!!????
A word of advice for all; don’t right off the mighty Ferrets just yet!! In a dominating display of unity and self belief, it has taken one week, with an annihilation of the season’s highest scoring side the All Night Chemists, to announce to all Premiership sides that the Ferrets are going nowhere. They are not and were not a 2 man side. Inside this team is a spirit that cannot be diminished and with this emphatic display of extraordinary golf, they have announced to all that whilst they appreciate the sentiments from their respectful decision taken last week, they are not out to make friends, they are not looking for sympathetic hugs and they are certainly not out to lie down for the rest of this year. The competitive juices have never been stirred more, the bond that binds together this great team has never been stronger, in 2010; they have just one goal. With the utter destroyation and silencing of the All Night Chemist team last week, The Ferrets have taken their first step to what they see as their destiny, to lift the Premiership Cup on that last Saturday of July. Watch out!!!!
The Ferrets are not the only team stirring. The bottom of the table has been where much of the action is happening. Former Top 8 team of previous years the Cup Hunters, are also making a move with 2 wins in a row, bouncing off the bottom of the table. This resurgence is being led by their Captain of this year and the disposed one. Their musician LEX TIER, who penned the Club Song has been spending Saturday nights at home alone, lights out, a drained whiskey bottle by his side, tears of despair rolling down his cheeks, belting out his beloved theme song to no one. The bottom of the table is not the place for cheering, not the place for happy ditty’s and the song had become a weight which this team was struggling to hold up. However they seem to have found their voice and the strains of the Cup Hunters Ode blared out of the composers iPhone in the Pro Shop late Saturday; there was joy in chorus and it was the song of a team making now their move.
The Tunners are becoming a force. Renowned for long streaks of good (or bad) form, they are showing a new vein of consistency and it is coming from all through their team. They resemble Collingwood, a team also known for having no superstars but they always seem to end up with the score needed to post a win. Their inspiring mascot demands results. She now has her 7 day membership, is playing regularly and expects answers to come from the searching questions that will be posed as they are tested through the coming colder months of winter. It is the time of the year when the superstars of our game stand up. DENISE LENNOX, the matriarch of this Tunners team, is anticipating them, no demanding of them to remain on top.
The Wanderers, the Tunners next opponents, have halted their worrying slide by posting an impressive win over Top 4 side The Gummers. ASH PEDLER kicked the Gummers off to what was an expected victory however it was trumped by the Wanderers draft smoky GARRY EDGLEY’s 41. Garry has excitement and is seeking to enjoy the atmosphere of finals which his football team does not present. It is a distant memory. He has plenty of support with the Wanderers proving a well balanced side and sit in the 8 where in previous years they have struggled. The good drafting of low markers should see them remain competitive under the increased heat that the spotlight brings to the contenders. There is expectation in this group which can work 2 ways; it will provide momentum into the biggest month of golf in their lives, an inaugural finals series for this team in July OR; it will produce a nervousness that creates a suffocating series of scoring that squeezes the life out of a season, destroying months of effort, weeks of grinding that is aimed at one thing, Premiership glory.
In Time Dynasty has had little coverage so far this year for good reason, there has been little to report on. The disappearance of their Captain has left a side gasping for purpose, bereft of goals, aimlessly moving from week to week. They have 4 wins however a quick glance at the ‘Points For’ column produces an awkward pause. They seem to have an innate ability to extract poor scoring from their opponent’s. It is no doubt a skill worth learning. Things may be turning though with the heart beat rumoured to be returning, Irish Stew may be back on the menu and the international ratings about to spike again. There has been a bet made that is costing this author plenty and the Guinness will flow freely soon if the money continues to change hands in the same direction of previous weeks. I have no allegiances however a win this week from the defending Premiers The Buglers will stem the bleeding somewhat... hopefully.
The big blockbuster game this week is no doubt the Brother in Arms against Wally World. The emails have been running hot already with GROSSEK and CURCIO taking up arms for their team mates in a battle of wits and tongues that should make the drive down Farm Road on Saturday for these two teams a little more meaningful. There will be a touch of nerves, an air of anticipation and a thick fog of sledging as they strike the initial blows towards that first green. The ‘RISE of the Lambs’ we have been promised, a ‘Feast for the Lions’ was returned, it will be a battle royale. Will Wally World rely on their MasterChef JIM MITRIS again for victory (46 points last week, the best individual score in Premiership history) and will he prepare the Shanks that come in ample supply from the NZ favourite, KG lamb? Shall the talent that sits at the bottom of the table decide this week to begin to bubble to the surface and with it create the cracks that could see the World that Wally has built slide out of the 8 into the crevices of the bottom half of the ladder. The winner will no doubt brag hard for a year........
