A letter to a Mongrel

The following communication related to the latest final result has been intercepted by ASIO through encoded communication.

===================================

Hey Biddie,

I know you want or need to know, we won 84 - 48.

We ate NO pizza and Frankie stole all the medals! We didn't pay, but the guy was going to look into whether we should and he may hit us up next week - this is usually the perfect time to give the game away. As far as we know there are games on next week but I have this feeling we are due for a bye.

The game was just the usual nothing special, Bonky served into the net at least once, they kept tipping just in front of him and there was this great line hit that well didn't quite come close to anywhere near the court.

Puss picked out purple shirt on a number of occasions and managed to hit tape more often than not.

Cookie well he had one thing to do in back court and well what can I say - he may want to go back to setting.

Frankie was superb and everything she touched turned to gold and, well, I carried the team as usual, apart from the two missed serves, the numerous bad sets, the bad calls etc.... but there was this one handed block that deserves mention - the crowd went wild and the other team was ready to give up and just concede. Actually they stopped the clock just so we could all absorb the true magic that I brought to the game - it was very moving. Anyway enough about my heroics - hope your ok for next week.

Rebel league?

The challenge has been given. The gauntlet has been thrown down. The phone number has been written on the toilet wall.

Do you dare to take on the Mongrels?

In lieu of all opponents falling before the might of the Mongrels game, they have now looked to recruit opponents from outside of normal channels.

A mass media campaign is sweeping the world with the call going out to all comers to come and challenge the Mongrels at the Grammar Dome in front of massive crowds of rabid supporters.

"We can no longer rely on the current governance of this sport to provide quality opposition. We need to take our future into our own hands." came the cry from Mongrels administrative office staff.

The challenge has gone out to the men's and women's teams competing in a variety of other small town tournaments to put together mixed teams and try their luck.

The next round of challenges will take place from the 4th of September 2007 at Brisbane Grammar Sports Hall on Tuesday nights. Details can be found on the Spiker Sports International Web Portal.

Have you got what it takes?

Claytons volleyball

Spiker Sports = The volleyball competition you have when not having a volleyball competition.

The Mongrels team is seriously considering taking it's business elsewhere as they recently received late notification that there will be no games this week.

Rumours abound as no feasible excuse has been given apart from 'the venue is unavailable'.

It is believed that the annual World Toad Licking Championships have booked out a majority of indoor venues around the city this Tuesday night and the sponsor dollar for such activities is a major earner.

Mongrels management have taken up legal action through their firm of Scrummy Yummy Delicious and Associates for lost earnings in only playing one game in the last four weeks.

Two mystery 'byes' have appeared in the draw for the Mongrels whilst other teams have had double headers and this is desperately eating into their sponsor dollars.

"Unless we see some action and I mean now, we will have to look at alternative ventures." quoted Mongrels middle management.

Of course this is playing merry hell with the bookies who are trying to set up the odds for Mongrels to win another silver medal this season.

There are only the Semi-Finals and Finals left and the Mongrels will have gone for 3 weeks without touching a ball to try and defend their title.

Only time will tell if they can hold on for the duration.
