The creativity of our writing team has failed over the past few weeks due to the shock defeats and end to the teams 23 unbeaten run of league games... the scores say all that has to be said.
However this week was a new week and the much hyped Publicis had been sized up prior to the game by our undercover squad at the All Star trials. Team Publicis started immediately playing catch up to a determined PAA and Fuel squad by arriving late and only fielding 9 players almost an hour later than planned.
The sun was shining and the team got stuck straight in with 7 runs in the first innings coming from the Buck Brothers, Alex, Pau, Jess, Snox and this week’s special guest Richard Dunn. A steady eye also saw a welcome return to the team for Ethne who reached first base every time she stepped up to bat and 2 runs in to home.
It didn’t take long for the lead to be stretched and by the bottom of the 4th the score was a comfortable lead of 19-5. The rot of back to back losses was ended.
However PAA and Fuel are not known for their mercy and although Publicis dug deep and ended the 6th inning with a recovered score line of 20-9, they couldn’t halt the momentum and the final innings witnessed 3 home runs from Alex, JB and Bridget 'Steffi' Graaff ending the game 30-10.
Special thanks to Anthony, Dan W and Richard D for stepping in and covering last minute absences due to injury and sickness.
