This game started off much as any other meeting between these two teams usually does. The Fat
Fellas (sporting sexy fluro-green singlets) effortlessly got off to an early double-figure lead
despite many bad passes and turnovers. Towards the end of the half, Watton had a chance to
extend the lead as time was ticking down. Unfortunately he missed a close-range jumper and did
the "Watton-thing" by tapping the ball repeatedly up in the air to himself. Eventually the ball
spilled to Sheppard and set the scene for an inspiring buzzer-beating jumper to increase the
lead at the half.

O'Connell proved that his early season form has been no fluke with another strong performance.
He ripped down many monster rebounds and finished his shots well. His match fitness is also
noticeably better than it was in the first game. Another welcome addition to his game has been
some rather accurate passing. The big man set up his teammates for quite a few easy scores with
his timely dishes.

A relatively easy game was suddenly made competitive in the last few minutes thanks to some
"creative" reffing. Rumour has it that Woolfrey raped and pillaged his way through a village in
which the ref lived in a past life. Either that or he may have taken offence to when Woolfrey
accidentally reversed his car over his dog (replace the word "accidentally" with the word
"repeatedly", and the word "dog" with the word "son", and you kinda get the idea.)

Regardless of the reason why, Woolfrey was hit with a technical foul while sitting on the bench.
Despite attempts to explain to the ref that Woolfrey's ass is so enormous that no matter where
he sits there is going to be some overlap onto the bench, he still wore the tech. This took the
ball away from the Fat Fellas, who had a certain layup, and gave the Reds two shots and
possession of the ball.

Numerous other instances of no-calls from the ref abounded throughout the half. Another nice
example was when Spagnolo was assaulted at half-court by two Reds player, who then proceeded to
take the ball off him, dismembering him at the same time. As Spagnolo lay crippled and bleeding
they then broke away for a layup at the other end.

Luckily for the Fat Fellas, they came up with some clutch plays that even the ref couldn't take
away from them. After a bit of a scoring drought, Sheppard put the ball on the floor and muscled
in for a much-needed basket to extend the Fat Fellas' slender lead. After he subbed back in,
Delides found himself outside the three-point line with the ball and being guarded by a fellow
Coles employee. As his co-worker dared him to shoot the ball, Delides proved once and for all
that Dairy workers were by far the most superior species of the Coles family by netting the
triple and extending the lead to 5 points.

In the end, the Fat Fellas managed to hold on for victory in a game that simply shouldn't have
been that hard.

GAME NOTES

Delides' enormous body weight proved to be an advantage for him in the first half as a mid-air
collision with "Fruit 'n veg Tom" resulted in Tom being thrown to the ground while Delides
eamerged unscathed and took the easy basket on the break...Sheppard has a bad attitude and was
told by the ref to stop arguing after the call had been made...Watton is a hacking bitch and got
himself three early fouls...Leong has volunteered his services to become Watton's personal
shooting coach...Sandra (with her dancing background) has also offered her services to Watton -
as a walking instructor...Delides' attempts at dunking get worse every week...I've got to go
study now...
