The weather was perfect - cool, sunny and narry a breeze - and the two teams were splendid in their rivalry. The last few years have seen alternating wins to the Rockdogs and the Megahertz, so it seemed only fitting that this year was a draw between the two.
There were some sour notes - in particular a broken collarbone for one of the poor Rockdogs (one of the members of The Twits I think) - but overall play was fair and not as aggressive as last year, the crowd were fantastic, and I came off with little more than a cracked rib courtesy of a tackle I instigated against Wally Meanie, and aching thighs when I woke up this morning.
As mskp notes, there were countless highlights, including several streakers

Afterwards, buzzing nicely courtesy from the administation of a few medicinal substances, I retired to the St Kilda Bowls Club with a few team-mates, then dropped in for a quick drink at the launch of the latest issue of the literary journal Going Down Swinging, then collapsed into bed - waking around 4am when rolling over woke me in a bolt of pain: that's when I realised I'd cracked my rib again...
Hurrah for the Community Cup!

A BROKEN BONE!
that is some serious commitment to the cause, richardwatts.
don't worry about tonight though - i can cut up your parma into little pieces and get you a straw for your bottle of cider...
Not broken, m'dear mskp, just cracked luckily - hurts when I stretch, roll over in bed etc, but it's not too bad. It happened once a couple of years back, so at least I know what I've done this time!
