Tonight was weird. It was the first time I ever had to park around the corner in Fallon Street. Hockey was very busy early on the Nanas gathered and looked so good in the magic hour sun, when the haze was just right.

Court two we were allocated and we played Barrel Chests team. Once again big barrel was flanked by two regulars, but joined by two 16-year-old sappling men who were cast into the fire. The Nannas were overwhelming. The Nannas were too much – the seven nil reflected a maturing of the side and its 25th year, everyone was incredible. Everyone did their thing.

The Mercer was a mercenary from the Merseyside and Tao was terrific with constant pressure and more assists than Puskas. Chassy was always jazzy round the back and Dan stood tall and provided essential structure. Sol played like a 32-year-old man or two 16-year-old strapped together and ANDY came home in the final seconds with a freak Greek and changed his name to Zorba. It was the first clean sheet the Nanas presented in quite a while and what a sheet it was as we head off to steak night at the Northgate social club. Let us give a thought to the confidence of the two 16-year-old boys that was snuffed out in an instant by the mighty fighting Nannas.
