They Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday's Just As Bad)

Actually, it wasn't that bad at Ward End Social in the first East Birmingham League game of the season, but with a bit of rain at the end it was a tad inclement.

I was told when we arrived that the wonderful clubhouse at the Social was sourced by Pete Brewer - which does surprise me as I would imagine it would be more this

Than this

The green was in good nick so we hoped for the best - even whilst being assaulted by the wondrous smells from the local Curry Houses'.

There isn't a lot of point rattling through who played what and who did what to whom as most bowls games are the same. All that needs to be said is that Craig was a league apart (as he will be all season), I'm not very good at beating novices and Chris Greenhill would be a better player if he stopped chuntering!

Another win for the Olton Tavern in another league we should be towards the top of at the end of the season.

Tomorrow we return to last season's stamping ground at Kings Norton. I imagine that Craig will be lauded like Caesar crossing the Rubicon in 49BC, whilst I will be treated like Lee Clark at a meeting of the Birmingham City Supporters Club. Ah well - be cheered or be booed, just never be ignored :-)
