"Toe-benjy"

[Hairy Bowsie]

Last man back

[Sheridan]

Last-man-back was the only way to go in short-sided games.

[Wolfie]

How brilliant were those closely contested games on the local green that lasted for literally hours?

I can remember one epic that was 34 all at one stage.

It was originally intended to be first to 15 - but you had to win by 2.

2 hours later and there was no way either side wanted to lose.

Having stole a lead of 35 - 34 - one of the lads on our side sensed glory.

With the oppositions goal in sight, he took aim and unleashed a thunderbolt of a shot.

It was most definitely goal bound.

On route to the goal, it struck one of the opposition full square in the ballicks.

Both sets of players then collapsed in a heap of laughter - following the collision with said players ballicks - the ball was burst.

Game declared a draw.

Reminds me of a 5-a-side I played about 2 years ago. One of our players was a fairly large fellow (not fat, just 'big') He took the ball forward, then fell over his own feet and absolutely milled himself. He seemed to be in the air for about 5 seconds. Everyone playing hurt themselves laughing so hard.
