Deeside Piper

From http://bvetsfootballgroup.blogspot.com/

For those that didn't see it, here's the feature - on the sports pages - from this weekend's Piper:



It's also been reported to me that my statement that Geordie has now won it 2 years in a row is incorrect. Well, I've checked the databases and - guess what? - I was completely wrong - Geordie did not win it last year - it was a tie then between Andy Robertson and Rob Dunnachie, who both correctly predicted 4 teams (out of 8) in season 2008/09.

What happened, I now recall, having checked all the previous correspondence on the matter (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/BanchoryVeteransFootballGroup/message/1286), was that we did not have any form of countback last season and, whilst I was able to pay Andy his cash, we didn't see our man from Dingwall last year, so he offered to donate his winnings to the charity that Geordie was collecting for.

My cock-up - apologies - but isn't it funny how everyone - including Geordie - went along with it? Ah yes, I remember it well, as Maurice Chevalier and Hermione Gingold sang in Gigi about half a century ago - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sISWPzEqHLQ
