Three days after my birthday,
The Northern Hill at Penrith Stadium
The Panthers had won their previous 2 –
Possibilities(?) against the Premiers?
Manly – studded with stars.
We score first,
Then …
A procession.
Even Zorba scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day the Panthers joined the Boeing Club**.
I heard the final whistle – resilience? dopiness?
Both.
Note:
* The score in last night’s between the Premiers – Manly – and Penrith was 30-0 (Manly won). Not in the same league as the “Boeing Club” game – but nevertheless disappointing, at best. This memory was always going to be somewhere in the 365, the score last night made now seem the right time.
** The Boeing Club was, I believe, coined by the Panthers players themselves and was a humorous reference to the final score of that game – 70-7. (Boeing 707). Mind you if tries were worth the 4 points they are today we would not have the Boeing Club – the score would have been 84-8!!
*** Perhaps there’s a need for some Focus … or perhaps some Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus Focus – This was released the year the Panthers joined Boeing.
