The STC Big Day Out

[Westcliff Shrimper]

On Saturday a fair proportion of the STC decided not to travel to Macclesfield and instead sample the delights of The Swan in Little Totham, which was CAMRA National Pub of the Year last year and is a great day out. Myself, Snowy, GNH, Homer, Big Chris, Leeboy, Napster, Patsy, Axeman and Barry Harris travelled via luxury mini-bus, with Mrs GNH, Ron Manager and missus, and Hooly and missus joining us via their own steam.

We've decided NOT to go to any more away matches. And this is for the benefit of those who do go. Because everytime we stay away, preferring the lure of a day out in a pub, the Shrimpers win!! We had a radio tuned into BBC Essex for the match and scared the living day-lights out of the few locals in attendance when we celebrated the two goals and the final whistle! And we might have converted a few? Nah ...

Anyway, for those who were there (and others who might be midly interested), we had a darts competition and it went as follows :

Preliminary Round
Pasty 2 Barry Harris 0

First Round
Axeman 1 WS 2
Big Chris 2 Leeboy 0
Napster 0 Patsy 2
Snowy 2 Homer 0

Semi-Finals
Patsy 1 Big Chris 2
Snowy 0 WS 2

Final
Big Chris 1 WS 2

CHAMPION - WS (meeeeee!!!)

We also had a Giant Jenga competition :

Preliminary Rounds
Ron Manager beat Homer
Patsy beat Leeboy

First Round
Ron Manager beat Barry Harris
Snowy beat WS
Napster beat Axeman
Patsy beat Hooly

Semi-Finals
Snowy beat Napster
Ron Manager beat Patsy

Final
Ron Manager beat Snowy

CHAMPION : Ron Manager

Excellent day-out for all concerned.

Mike , I can't see why a pub in Little Totham, a tiny village between Madon and Colchester would be surprised seeing twenty odd Southend fans singing and dancing in their pub!

We lost + I got killed http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I appear to be sporting a bruised swollen left foot this morning and having difficulty getting my shoe on after being sent 6 feet in the air off the ball. I would like to thank the linesman at this point for holding me round the neck to stop me laying the guy out in my moment of "Axeman" strop.
