The Round Up: A day late and a dollar short but...
Shiver his timbers!
5 July 2007
The Round Up was awoken this morning at 6:14am not by the sound of a cockrel crowing or a lawnmower mowing but by a bleeping phone vibrating by the bed side. Bleary-eyed, The Round Up leaned across more oddly-shaped and delicate vibrating accessories to grab the offending telling-bone. A short text message read: Renaissance 2-1 Recreativo.
And by 8:49am, having not shifted position and sitting in a puddle of what we can only hope was a mixture of drool and slobber, the message finally sunk in. Renaissance have defeated Recreativo. No, this isn't a hoax. This is a hoax. Renaissance have actually defeated the one team who have had them dangling by the cajones for far too long. It looks like nobody, and we mean, nobody, beats Renaissance six times in a row.
So Renaissance have conquered Recreativo and quite frankly... we're amazed. Who woulda thunk it, eh? Clearly not a George Michael wiped-out on his steering wheel. Or a bewildered looking owl. Hell! Even a little prairie dog was taken aback and stunned into wide-eyed incredulity upon hearing news of the victory.
The word on the street, according to our pimped up hustler and match reporter, Colin Presly (aka Daddy LongStroke ) is that Renaissance played the game of their lives and produced "a tremendous display". Renaissance?! Renaissance, who normally fold faster than Superman on laundry day when they face the Spanish conquistadors? Renaissance? Putting up a disciplined and highly organised performance?! What, the same Renaissance who couldn't organise a piss up in a pisserie? Well blow me down and shiver me timbers!
The victory comes as The Artist makes his 50th appearance for the club, as Megatron scores his first for the club (a brace at that), and as The Ref is unmasked as a closet Renaissance follower with his repeated warnings of "One More Time & You're Out".
Anyway, now the pandemonium has settled The Round Up is gonna mop up that damp (and spreading) mess, crawl into bed, and catch some much needed shut-eye. Today is just another day after all.
