It had been a long Summer for our merry band of korfers and korfettes, the earlier training session had made it obvious how low fitness levels had sunk. The ultimate challenge of a committee centurion, sadly, lead us to the same conclusion.<\/p>\n
Having arrived at No.40 Arden Street the shiny new committee and notable korfballing dignitaries settled down for some heated debate and discussion. Once His Holiness, our Dear Leader Will Lawton had finished\u00a0 Once the sideshow had been concluded and much pizza eaten (eventually), our heroes embarked upon their epic quest. Various weapons had been mustered, with Will Lawton, Louise Pirie, Catherine Helme, Rosemary Nolan, Sophie Brown, Lucy McGrath, Rosie Whelan and Rachel Johnson selecting Strongbow, a classic, Graham Morris taking Belhaven Best; Will Ellis, Stella Artois; Kyle Crombie, Corr’s Light; Sarah Higginson, various potently flavoured waters and most shamefully of all, Rob Kennedy brought up the rear with Carlsberg.<\/p>\n All started well, with many cries of “this is too easy”, complacency was abound. Until, soon after beginning, 50% of your Social Secretary team (Louise Pirie<\/strong>) nipped for an illegal toilet break following shot\u00a0TWENTY-SEVEN<\/strong>. The resulting Tequila penalty shot was apparently too much for one with such a poor drinking pedigree, although rumours of a tactical chunder have, thus far, gone\u00a0unproven<\/em>\u00a0(and, intriguingly,unanswered<\/em>…). Kyle Crombie<\/strong>\u00a0was next to bow out at\u00a0FIFTY<\/strong>, although with his reputation (supposedly) intact, he had a ‘meeting’ the next morning. This seems an appropriate time to dishonourably mention\u00a0Chris Kay<\/strong>\u00a0andKathryn Maltby<\/strong>\u00a0who cited ‘a busy day tomorrow’ as a legitimate excuse for staying dry all night (except when\u00a0Simon<\/strong>\u00a0took ‘chuck us a Strongbow’ literally and pelted an open bottle at El Presidente). Shocking, especially for two supposed ‘veterans’ of Potterrow.<\/p>\n Just falling short of three quarters were\u00a0Will Lawton<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rosemary Nolan<\/strong>, failing at\u00a0SIXTY-NINE<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0SEVENTY<\/strong>\u00a0respectively (it’s clear who wears the trousers there…<\/em>) and\u00a0Sophie Brown<\/strong>, although by this point the author lost track of quite how many shots Sophie B made it to, apologies for that Soph.<\/p>\n The remainder powered through the final twenty-five shots and\u00a0slew<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>the Centurion beast, therefore congratulations and serious man-points go to: It had been a long Summer for our merry band of korfers and korfettes, the earlier training session had made it obvious how low fitness levels had sunk.
