Back to back victories for Mongrels

The last two weeks has seen a dramatic turn around in the form of the mighty Mongrels with back to back victories cementing their 2nd place on the Championship table.

Backing up after a solid performance last week against the White Tigers in front of a capacity crowd of 28,000 at the Grammar Dome, the Mongrels arrived with a depleted line-up due to several players attending memorial services for the Pope. Luckily the crew were able to call upon the services of T (the super sub) but still had to persevere with the missing-man formation.

Strong middle attacking was the name of the game last night with T discovering that she does have timing, even after all these years. This was supported by intimidating blocking from Lisa and constant abuse hurled between the boys due to Bonky not quite understanding the rules of street handball.

The scores were locked together at half time due to some shady back-handed deals with the referee by the Mongrels opponents but things were back on the dominating track in the second half after officials heeded threats of physical violence.

The match was sealed with a flurry of jump serving from Lisa to assure Mongrels retain their 2nd place on the ladder.

A sponsors lunch is being organised at a price of $10,000 a plate to raise funds for the Mongrels end of year bash. Details will be released shortly.
