More birthday drams

Belatedly, it was my turn for the birthday drams at the Legion last night. Almost a month after my actual birthday, I finally got round to doing the honours. After some technical difficulties with cameras and photographers, we managed to get this rather grainy snap:

Vince Doyle 60!

Our man in Paris hits the big one today - happy birthday, Vince! Time to wheel out once more the only archive photo I have of him:

Enjoy the big day, Vince!

Friday night drams again

Friday night in the Burnett and it was Steve's turn to buy the (belated) birthday drams:

Still to do mine as well - we decided it was best that we didn't double up this time!

Two more stadia?

From http://bvetsfootballgroup.blogspot.com/

Greetings from Singapore. I came across 2 interesting stadia yesterday - especially the first one, which was effectively a barge floating on the marina. There was a stand on the land side of the pitch, but the other three sides were surrounded by water! It was a high quality artificial pitch, complete with pylon floodlights. Changing was under the stand and the teams run out over the piers linking the pitch with the land - weird! High netting all round made the ball boys jobs a bit easier!:

There was a match on at Singapore Cricket Club yesterday too:

91 and counting - and I believe Jack has another 2 to add to the list, so the ton is well in sight now.
