The Club's first fitness test results have come back with some interesting features and Jeff Clarke leading the Club in both tests.....
The 5 minute lap test saw Nippa enjoying the back view of Donnie far too much, with the little 3rd Grade El-Capitan finishing 1/4 of a lap behind the Club legend Donnie. What can be read into this, we do not know....
Also in the 5 minute lap test, Not-Hot-Jacko set the bar for his brother, Hot-Jacko, early by completing 2.8 laps in the set timeframe. Word is he is very confident his twin brother can not better his time saying "it takes him 4 laps to the bathroom just to fix his hair, let alone 3 laps of running to beat me!". Fighting words from the Jacko-of-lesser-looks who is impressing Head Coach DK and pushing for a return to 1st Grade in 2010. DK had to say "I have been very impressed by NHJ's attitude this year, always a competitior, he has been reminding me of a few mishits and air kicks by his brother in 2009 and assures me they would not have happened if he had of been in the side. I may just have to give him a run I think and pit them head to head in the Intra Club trial on 7th March".
In further testing in the 3km time trial, Jeff Clarke set a blistering pace completing the 3km in 10.41 minutes (3.47min/km) which is not bad for a first hit out, but the news was in the middle of the pack with the lumbering units of Big Kev, Old Man G and fly boy Docker keeping the tail up. Word on the street was these old heads see "continual improvement" on their report cards as key to their 2010 campaigns and will be looking to shave 1, maybe 2 seconds, off their times next go round.
3rds Coach Matty Scoular requests some assitance from players - "If you happen to be in St Leonards in the near future, G Stud needs a lift back from Royal North Shore Hospital after purchasing a new heart and lungs package to get the weary bones around the track....".
Anyway, see you back on the track - 8 weeks to first ball-up!!!!
Keeping you up to date with the World Of The Warrior
Yours in sport,
