Season Kickoff and Zembar Cup Game – One Week to Go!
As we head to Poneke for our annual Zembar Cup clash, I can't help but think of all the grey-haired buggers who’ve played in this game over the years would have a lot of stories to tell. The Zembar Cup means so much to both teams, and it's not just about the on-field competition but also the off-field fun.
This year’s tour team includes our usual front-runners, with Curly Boulton and myself making sure the drinks are kept secure at the Cambridge Hotel on Saturday. Scott Fuglistaller will be leading the boys this weekend, with Blowers handling the grunt work.
As I sit here on the bus, I’m looking around at a fantastic bunch of young lads eager to get their boots on and represent our club. It’s inspiring to see their commitment, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.
