Tonight’s Roasting. 2 teams
The Blue Aubergines Nancy, Andrea, Shirley and Laurie verses the Yellow Chilly Peppers, Gilly, Louise, Karine and Del
The Evening started with Lay-up and passing shooting drills.
Then were all were Split roasted into 2 teams of 4 on 4 with Del making up the numbers.
The Aubergines started with the ball. They were the first to score. Skewering the peppers into Kebabs. This trend lasted for most of the first half before Louise Chilly Pepper got her first of basket of the evening. The Peppers thought their luck had changed but they were not out of the oven yet.
Andrea Aubergine scored from a distance moussakaring the Peppers chances of winning. Nancy was fast catching the ball and passing it round to her team. Shirley dipped herself in olive oil and slipped out of the arms of the defense. Gilly Pepper managed to Score 3 baskets through the first course of the evening and for the last course Karine scored twice. Louise swelled in the heat of the main course with 6 baskets in all (a personal recipe best).
Unable to beat the score of the smoking Aubergines, The Peppers were grilled until burnt. Peeled and served up on a plate. The Aubergines left as happy and as tasty as Baba Ganoush.
We all left the court either fried or baked depending on your choice of vegetable.
Looking forward to cooking again next week,

Todays Match consisted of 2 teams. Blue and Orange.
Marta, Sally, Louise and Andreea V Sarita, Shirley, Nancy and Gilly
It was a game of 2 halves. The first half is beautifully described by MAX BYGRAVES’S famous song
(Which was a number one hit before most of the girls that played today were born)
You need hands
You need hands to poke someone you care for.
You need hands to knock someone in the face,
When you feel nobody is watching.
You need hands to knock them out the way.
You need hands to snatch the ball to play the game,
You need hands to guide them on their way
The 2nd half was a different story,
Told by a song by Spandau Ballet.
Gold.
Always believe in your soul! You got the power to know, you are indestructible, (Sarita)
Always believe in that you are wearing GOLD! GOLD! (sung by the Orange bibs)
(BLUE Bibs chorus) Glad that you’re rebound is to return, there’s something you could have learned,
We are too indestructible, always believe in you and your GOAL! GOAL!
A Fantastic game of musical basketball was played this evening. You should have been there, you missed a Song!
See you all next week for a very special game.
