Dead Dogs Doping Scandal - 18th Feb 2009

A revitalised team, saw the Dead dogs head to the 2nd half of the season and a possible date with destiny. DDD back from his Walk about Tour of Oz, he looked like a new man on the green and showed no sign of the time away, with some early pressure shots to help keep the Dogs around the mark. The starting lineup returned to its famous 4-4-2 structure, and with that a certain air of confidence saw the dog puff its chest and fight for gold. A 4 shot 2nd end hurt the dogs early and with tit for tat bowling all night this 4 shots seamed a lot to overcome. DDD slowly going to sleep with the Grandpa Simpson like commentry from his counterpart skipper, DDD did not see the need to comment on the quality of every bowl, but Abe thought it best to highlight back in his day he use to bowl with an onion on his belt which was the fashion at the time. By the 8th end it had been a tighter affair than the entire english scrum fitting through a fish's date in a vice, and so DDD called on LOL, Davy Mac and Andy Zee to finish the game on a high. LOL threw down some early pressure, and Andy Zee was good when he chose to ignore the ridiculous directions from DDD, but it was Davy Mac with some top draw bowling that saw the dog edge closer to their geriatric foes and the excitable 3rd bowler...... who called for a measure on more occasions than Hugh Hefner at a photo shoot. It was not to be the Dogs night, was it DDD hitting his bowling weight of 1.5 beers at the 2nd end or just that fact the the starting rotation did not have the cohesiveness with players spending time in rehab. So at the final siren, it was the Dogs, 6 to the Ade Simpsons blue rinse brigade 11.

True to bowling form, the Dogs did not get a scrap from the raffle and left with hung heads and heavy hearts.

Best
Honorable mention to Davy Mac for 2 exceptional bowls on the night getting within a cocktail weiner of the kitty on at least 2 occasions, including his last bowl of the night.

Other News saw the dogs infamous leader reported to have an image leaked to the public of him with his mouth on what appeared to be a 'Bong', News of the World broke the story and DDD has already seen several sponsors pull his funding including Adult shop.com and Mo's Jelly wrestling Tavern, reported to be worth a staggering 100M over 5 years.

Score card to follow, as LOL did take a full report of the evening.
