I am honoured and humbled to be writing this post. This the first game in 13 years of Nanna history to be played in a new league. Yes we have finally done it. We have officially moved Northside. Well done gentleman. It was a bold move and one that, so far, is paying off.

While the court was not of the standard we have grown used to, and the lighting was a little artificially white for my liking, it was however a lovely way to enter this new league. An emphatic  victory over a team that quickly learnt that the Nanna’s are not to take for granted.

The move to the north weeded out the weak Nanna’s leaving the obvious Nanna A team that brought home a 15 goal total and a defence that only allowed 2 goals to pass through. Could it be any clearer who the true A team are?? I think not.

The passing was impeccable, the goals were many and often from generous passes. The Nanna’s played not as individuals but as a single entity.

The ref was very good allowing the game to flow but not letting it get out of hand at any stage. Certainly no controversial calls as far as I can remember.

I’d like to think that all the games would be a win like this but I’m sure we can’t come away too cocky and will have to lift our game even more to stay on top of our future opponents.

The night ended at Joe’s Shoe whee some good beer was drunk and some high times were felt. It was mentioned that there might be a need to introduce the cook again based on Northside eateries and bars. This could be make for some very interesting niche eateries.

In all it seems to be shaping up as a good idea though we have to feel for poor Jim who may have trouble making it to a few of the games. Think you might have to set yourself up in a corner of Cocky’s studio Thursday nights. Justine would be cool with that wouldn’t she??
