Awesome, glad they are having this on again - last year was great espec because we won ;)

[LostDoggy]

Ill be there...its nice and close to me hahaha.....enjoyed it last year...

[LostDoggy]

Haha. they playing around the corner from where i grew up. and playing on the field my mates and I used to play soccer every sunday afternoon!

[ledge]

I live just around the corner too so i might pop in for a look.

[LostDoggy]

Can't wait!! Went last year and it was good fun. I'll be the one wearing the Bulldogs top & the Storm cap..... or the Storm top and the Bulldogs cap!! Last year I barracked for both teams - win win situation. :D

[Dazza]

Didn't Cam Wight do well lat year?

[LostDoggy]

Sounds like fun. I'll be away so can't make that one. Have fun all, and I expect some pics here!! :)

[LostDoggy]

Sounds like a hair raising occasion!! I am a newish Storm fan after converting from the Bulldogs (Old Canterbury boy from the Mortimer days) last year. I might try to do a two-tone, half Doggies, half Storm. Being a Sunday, I'll have to do it myself. Don't know if I can.

Looking forward to seeing it Da Druid!! Go Storm Dogs!! :D

Sounds like fun. I might mosey on down to the wildlands of St Albans(It's not the end of the world but you can see it from there!) and have a look.

Go Bull Storms, doesn't quite sound right. Sounds like some thing you'd hear and see on Spring Street!

Just purple would be fine, maybe with a yellow lightening bolt? :D

Been experimenting and found a way around my missing colour! :D

Should've seen the failed attempts!! :eek:

[LostDoggy]

Anyone going to the cricket via Ballarat Rd in Maidstone? Need a lift for one mohawk and some camera gear. Send me a private message if you can help out.
Appreciated!

[LostDoggy]

Was a good day. Big turn out, very hot. Had to leave a little early cos was getting to hot for my little one. ALthough my missus managed to 'sneak' into the tent the boys were in and got few of the palyers to take a photo with him. I'll put it online later :D

[LostDoggy]

Heard on Sports tonight that Easton Wood made a ton! He got the play of the day with a massive six!!

When we drafted Wood I remember hearing about him being a strong cricketer. Wikipedia tells me he attended Geelong Grammar on a cricket scholarship.

[LostDoggy]

Nice and hot there today, and very windy, not as many people as last year, but still a good turn out....you can tell Easty Wood has played a bit of cricket.....nice win by the doggies, 2nd year in a row we take it out..

Thanks to DaDruid for taking our group shot as well...lookinng forward to seeing some of your pics as well...saw you jump up on that container thing near the cricket nets and take some shots from up there...

It so reminded me of the 3rd man taking off Richie Benaud with his, 'Stinking ****ing hot day here in Bombay'. It was unbearable, the heat & the wind made it hard to take.

Met Da Druid, Suz32 & minson27.

TCP was happy, got photos of him with Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, Greg Inglis, Cooper Cronk, Ryan Hoffman & Brett White.

When asked why he was batting down the order this year Robert Murphy answered, 'Two reasons, lack of talent & fear'.

Batting first the Doggies knocked up nearly 200 thanks to Easton Wood who scored a hundred or thereabouts. Lake also got a few runs.

Not sure what the Storm hit but they were short of the target.

[LostDoggy]

I think Storm made around 150. It was a great day, even better when the cool change & a few spots of rain came.

I hope this continues to be an annual event, the players seemed to enjoy themselves.

I must also say it was also a pleasure meeting The Coon Dog & DaDruid. :D

Welcome choconmientay, some terrific shots there, even some lunatic with a mohawk! TCP even appears in one sitting on a seat on the far side of the ground in front of a green shed.

[OLD SCRAGGer]

Some great shots there Choconmientay, thanks for sharing

[Twodogs]

Thanks for that choconmientay. Hope you enjoy the site.

I enjoyed the day, cool weather came about the right time and the rain held off to complete the game.

Good to meet a few from here and hope to see this become a big event in the future as it is a really fun day and a chance to mix with a few players in a relaxed atmosphere.

[LostDoggy]

How did the wicket keeper go.

Being an ex keeper, I did peruse that position and Brian Lake did an admirable job considering there was some real ordinary deliveries at times. Certainly saved some runs with his early judgement. Has played the game behind the stumps regularly in summers past by the technique he showed.

Great Stuff,
Enjoy the ride for the next few years. I've been memeber for over 40++ yrs so we
deserve some continuous fab times.
Cheers

Had a great day. Other then the two biggest enemies of a mohawk turning up. The wind then the rain. By the time I left the hair was a bit ordinary.

Unable to attend unfortunatly, but going by some of the photo's, your mohawk seemed to be in great shape, but had a different look about it, still ultra cool!

[choconmientay]

Thanks all for the warm welcome. It was a great day out.

To DaDruid: We did exchanged a few lines. Not sure if you remember me, but I am the guy who nearly got hit by the ball at the boundary line ;)

To all other: I hope I will have a chance to get to know you guys. Go - Bulldogs - Go.

Yes . Chocomientay, I do remember you. I don't know what I was thinking trying to catch that ball with a couple of grand of camera swinging around my neck. good thing I wasn't close enough! Great to catch up with a few more Woofers and put faces to names. See you all throughout the year!

I would call half-half Doggies and Storm colours a different look!! :cool:

[LostDoggy]

Sad we missed it - sounds like it was a really great day. Thanks for the photos :) Glad you all had a good time.

[LostDoggy]

what an awesome day baring the heat and the rain at the end. Good to see the doggies getting win and hopefully many more to come. As soon as I walked into ground a bumped in to Da Druid and had a good chat. Awesome mohawk by the way. FANTISTIC. Would go again for sure! Great day alround.
