Week 7
BATS SHOW THAT THEY'RE NO PUSHOVER IN QUEST FOR PREMIERSHIP TITLE...
FURTHER to last weeks inaugural premiership debacle all team members were present and correct after strict disciplining by team officials and a revised transport strategy was put in place.
The strategy relied upon a Racing Bats board meeting with the local Council followed with further lobbying enabling the Bat Bus to travel in Wandsworth bus lanes. Mayor Boris became entangled in the argument as Borough politics took on the London Authority! The Mayor was quoted to say “such excellence in sporting fair play cannot be hampered by London’s transport network and therefore this unprecedented move will allow this team of role models freedom on the Borough of Wandsworth” Lucky enough when that whistle blows all politics becomes unimportant and the game comes to the forefront.
So to our first match which saw the Bats take on the reigning Premier League Champions; Neopolitans! The Bats looked confident and eager to play, one could have mistaken it for a touch of laziness but as the whistle blew the match sparked into life. Straight away it was obvious another Premier League team were caught off guard by this trailblazing tactical machine. One touch football accompanied by calm defensive positioning held Neo at bay. Neo were offered only one opportunity in the game which they took with an exceptional shot and goal. Alas they were already three-nil down and that one goal was not going to do the trick. The Bats bided their time and took every opportunity to strike as the Neo defence crumbled. Five Goals and yet another hat trick from Damo left the Premier League Officials, Crowds and Opposition unable to keep up with the pace of play. So much so and despite awarding five goals during the game the referee only notched up four to the Bats on his match card. An official inquiry is underway.
Wandsworth Stanley looked on in horror as they attempted to psyche themselves up for the next fixture. Alas and, despite the Bats back-to-back matches which pushed fitness levels to the limit, Stanley were no match for them. A gruelling physical battle left its mark on Stanley with a couple of injuries and likewise a sending off for the Ukrainian Super Star, Dimo. Not quite in line with club fair play and discipline principles but can the giant of man help it if he always gets to the ball first with those commanding size 16’s?! Alas the official should have been more lenient or less blind, who's to say? A Bat one - nil lead was brought level before half time but then the Bats stretched their legs and banged in a couple of beauties - one a deflection marking Duncan Hep's fifth of the campaign!
Another victory and a superior goal difference puts the Racing Bats at the top of table. From the depths of the A3 and East Hill jams to the top flight of the premiership in just 2 weeks and 3 games....expectation is high at the Wandle!

Week 6
Roadwork’s Jam Bat's Premiership Debut...
THE founding member, Captain and Player Manager was the only Bat ready to go last night at the Wandle Stadium.
The team coach had been held up on East Hill by road works and the lonely portly figure of The Cat stood unfretted willing to play rush goalie and have a pop at Mojo alone. A full squad of Mojo players lined up taunting the Cat but he stood strong, chomping at the bit and heard screaming “I’ll take you all down with me you ...#$%..!”
The Bats finally arrived but despite much protest the referee called the match in favour in Mojo. The arch rivals now archer than ever agreed to play the final minutes of the time allotment in a so called friendly that would not count to the league, within seconds the friendly became a Test and the Bats set about toying with their foe and beating them soundly. They swore to avenge the loss that was never a loss and the animosity between teams and official was at boiling point. The Bats team were luckily without their midfield maestro mouth of the south Ando as rumours of Swiss clinics persisted...some tabloid press even insinuating this as a cover up with evidence proving he was skiing like gimp whilst drinking himself and Sir Collo the Great under the table most nights! No doubt the rumours are not far from the truth and the estranged maverick Sir Collo will tell all...
Anyway replacing Ando was the Trickster ‘Tricky Dicky’ Richard Moran the latest signing to the illustrious Bats camp. Ando was not missed as Tricky slotted into the set up during the Mojo warm up test.
The second match of the evening enabled the Bats to really get on with their first season in the Premier League. The gentle Mojo warm up enabled a confident and impatient team enough edginess to really go for it. Little did the seasoned opposition realise that the promoted newbys would be so hardened, and from there on in the onslaught began...
