Hello every again. I have received a number of emails today inquiring about our fixture in Ottawa next Saturday. To date nothing has been planned. The usual suspects aren’t available to organize things this year so we are hoping someone in the next few days will step forward and lead the charge. Send me an email if you would like to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening in Ottawa next Saturday. We need to let the Senators know shortly of our plans. Is there a Marshal Blucher among us? Speaking of Marshal; a regular reader of ours, Charles [Chuck] Schandl offers up his opinion on Larry Doyle being compared to Marshal Blucher by our Mel C. If you are going to Ottawa, speak up.

Larry Doyle as Marshall Blucher? Wasn't he the one nicknamed the Mad Marshall? In fact at one point wasn't Blucher convinced a French soldier had impregnated him and he was carrying an elephant? We should check the bulge around Larry's waist to confirm.....
Then, just as our gallant troupe were tiring, when victory looked in the balance, out of the mists and racing into the fight, came Larry Doyle to pitch in. ( at 78 ).
Just like Marshal Blucher of the Prussians, at Waterloo, who helped carry the day, and trounce
the invincible foe. What an effort! Never have so many, (Nobs), owe so much, ( rugby club),
to so few ( our soccer team). However, I must say, that Burlington Old Boys Soccer Club, were gracious in their defeat and supplied ample tuck and beer after the game. All played outstandingly and I'm pleased to say that like Henry V , on St. Swithins day, "I was there!".
Cheers Mel C. Emperor of yore. Nobs 3 Soccer Club 1 ...
