Hopefully this meeting will see a final decision about the venue.
Viva Punky!
A report from South America.
hi guys and gals from wayne and punky
still alive despite scorchio temperatures and close encounter with a snake
a mixed bag of cowfolk plus wonderful guests from around the european circuit saw the cowfolk enter the first alternative world cup in south america hosted by club che guevara of jesus maria .
the womens team played admirably in heat and with no little skill and remained unbeaten, in fact winning both ( or was it 3 ) games scoring some cracking goals despite their high alcohol intake – congratulations and did the club proud
we were the only team to enter a mixed team in the comp plus were the oldest and in the near 40 degree heat struggled against youthful , speedy , skilful opponents who play together every week. coming last in the group finally managed to hold Pelada de Esquerda from rio to a draw – alas despite the best efforts of wayne the cat kelly we lost on pens ( in spanish cat is el gato but in these parts it means prostitute – is there a new job in the offing for wayne)
i must thank everybody who represented the cowfolk and the world xi for playing and partying in true cowfolk style and many new freinds have been made ( infact wayne and i are off to chile soon) and much respct to danilo ( los autonomos) and monika and crew ( club el che ) for all the the hard work that was put in
incidentally los autonomos won so as northern champs cowboys must play them in japan to see who is world club champs.
Hope you all well in the cold and snow
Punky and Wayne – chilling
in the shade
Back In The Mists Of Time
Before the Cowboys started playing football all round Europe there was this lot … Who also did this.
Tournament Meeting #7
With the last meeting adjourning without choosing a venue, so that people can go home and do some sums, the final decision will now be made in two weeks at the next meeting.
###This meeting has been moved to Monday 20th###
Entertaining And Informative
Here is a little reading matter to tuck yourself up in bed with during these cold winter nights. It is an article entitled Grassroots Football: Values, Examples, Potentials that is written by Gabriel Kuhn (the author of Soccer Vs the State) for STIR a newly established online political magazine. Some of you will have seen Gabriel do a talk at Easton Community Centre.
Also if you missed it, tonight on BBC3 there was a documentary about gay footballers made by John Fashanu’s daughter (i.e. Justin’s niece… no shit Sherlock) Amal.
