Week 2 - Autumn/Winter 09

Bats in Devestating Form to take Unbeaten Run to Four Games...

Racing Bats 4 Bandits 1

Racing Bats 3 Genesis Dons AFC 1

THE opposition have been left flapping once more as the Bats continue their near- perfect start to the season.

Back-to-back victories on Monday night saw the new-look Bats prolong their run of form to take them five points clear at the top of the table.

Goals all round – with the exception of Dima – and two more solid performances from Tim ‘The Wall’ Hodgson meant that the Bats dished out the drummings with ease.

Word is that new man James Gorely, as well as goalie Tim have sparked the interest of premiership teams but with growing hope among the club players, personnel and fans, the two have issued statements that they are “more than happy” where they are and intend to “help the Bats achieve premiership status and recognition”.

Fans are delighted with the stomping of Bandits – who many consider to be the Bats biggest competition. A victory over Flying Wedge next week will mean every opponent will have been beaten by the ever-improving Bats in the first half of the season and it would take some shocking appearances to leave the team without a hope of promotion.

The GaS strike partnership was in fine form again with four goals and three assists between them and defenders Duncan and James Hepburn also chipped-in with a pin-point finish and powerhouse effort respectively.

A major talking point from Monday’s games will be the performance of the referee who shockingly gave around 50 per cent of all decisions the wrong way. Speaking after the game, a spokesman for the Bat’s fan club, ranted at reporters while being bundled into the back of a police van. “What a fu**ing p*ss taker!”, he said. “That two bit motherless t**t counld’t get the decision right if his life depended on it! I might cut him!”

But the most astonishing revelation of the evening was that remarkably not one of the Bat’s players confronted the ref or swore at him (not so he could hear anyway) which keeps the side’s discipline down to a new club record of 0.

Talking exclusively to http://www.racingbats.blogspot.com/ new club captain Andy Hep – who came off the bench to make an immediate impact with a goal again - said: “You fight, you’re off. You give the ref backchat, you’re off. Simple as that.”

Speaking about his undefeated start as club talisman he added: “The team was in a bit of a state when I took over. No disrespect to The Cat but he was half the captain I am and the results are there to prove it.”
