As I write this, dusk is beginning to descend on the NOBS World. In the distance small gunfire can be heard, just as it did yesterday, and the day before. As the day grows darker, the natives will grow bolder with more explosions, only to be answered by a neighboring group, who will up the ante. When darkness, pushes away the daylight, the battle will commence. I wonder what there doing in Beirut tonight?
"HAPPY CANADA DAY!"
At the end of all this, check out an original rendition of our national anthem; one that all beer swilling rugby players, will nod their heads in approval.
So we are now into July and lots going on before August.
You have already heard the call to arms from the man rumored to replace Sir Alex Ferguson, John Guilfoyle and our 2 tests match's with the BOTSC [Burlington Old Timers Soccer Club] the first one coming up on Friday July 12th and the second on Friday August 9th, with a 7pm kickoff, but before you think you can stroll in with your boots in hand; lace em up and jump on the pitch, [like a NOBS game] John wants you at Sherwood Forest for 6:30. Both games are on the Centaurs pitch. Let John know your intentions johnguilfoyle99@gmail.com as spots will start to fill up quickly, now the word is out.
Speaking of a call to arms, this Sunday we will be hosting the GITS here in Burlington. On June 23rd, we travelled to Toronto to take on the GITS and turned in a performance that one of my associates described as a train wreck. He was being kind.
This coming Sunday, and every game day we need "all hands on deck!" I could print some of the other things that others who were there said, but my Emperor For Life Mel said, only print that, which you would have your mother read.
So ends the sermon.
Lets put on a good show for the GITS, this coming Sunday. The Sunday after, the 14th there is a game in Oakville, to be hosted by the Templar's. More details are to follow.
On July 20th, plans are underway for us to participate in a international fixture, in Lockport NY. This is a Saturday game, the first of 2 Saturday games in a row for us. Our beloved president, Pope John Noble will have more to say about Lockport in the near future.
As I mentioned we have 2 Saturday games in a row. On July 27th we will be back in Burlington, for our 3rd annual Burlington Alumni games, as we take on the BARFS. Time for that game has yet to be established, but they will be out for blood, having dropped the previous 2.
Touch is on as always, and I can see from my notes, that Jack Morrison has let us all know that the NOBS annual golf tournament is August 11th Jack can be reached at s.j.morrison@sympatico.ca This is a first rate golf tournament, well run and well attended, so let Jack know.
That's it! If I have missed anything, let me know. See you out against the marauding GITS, Da Thug
