A very relaxed Barnstoneworth team was manning the sideline at Kariong Oval, when your correspondent arrived, struggling under the combined harassment of children, folding chairs, dogs and an appalling hangover. The team was apparently unconcerned with the need to warm up before the match, being too busy trying to shield themselves from the positively Baltic […]
With our Round 14 game having been washed out, Round 15 saw Barnstoneworth playing Doyalson in our second ever game on Terry Oval, the playing surface of which had been done no favours from the rain that had fallen during the week leading up to the game.
How you regard Saturday’s game against Kariong depends very much on which of the following philosophical standpoints most coincides with your world view : ‘Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery’ ‘It’s not a matter of life and death, it’s much more serious than […]

Round 12 saw us face off against Killarney for our first-ever competitive game on Terry Oval, a venue we knew well from all those Wednesday night training sessions.
Due to the rescheduling of our washed out round 4 game, we found ourselves facing Kanwal two weeks in a row but this time on our turf. With some of our missing players able to return our numbers looked slightly better this time around but we still needed to call upon some assistance from the […]
