Poor defending, but dirtier drop-outs. Dirty drop-outs were Macca and Titch. Anth Langan didn’t reply to any texts during the week, so I assumed he would not be there. We drafted…
He steals the show again. WWC 3 IPS 0. It was all Teeb again. He turned up with instructions to wear white shorts and white socks, but in “Teeb World” white…
Good effort, but nothing to show for it. Despite the negative scoreline, it was Sassco’s best 90 minute performance after two poor opening games. But, being realistic, it was just another…
