    North Wellington v BNU – 17th April 2010

    • 22 Apr 2010
    • Brooklyn Northern United AFC
    • The North Wellington team we faced were surprisingly different from the team we got relegated with last season…so no Rusty, Spotty & Meatloaf...apparently they swapped with their Capital 6 team to give youth a chance further up the leagues – thankfully we don’t follow a similar ageist policy here at Brooklyn!

    • It’s not by chance that John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s was the setting that would become the default template for the popular notion of high-fantasy; no arbitrary circumstance that led to Tolkien’s intricately-crafted argot becoming the lingua franca of the sword-and-sorcery genre as it’s commonly understood today.

    • So we were wrong – there is no Gardens Magic tonight. Jess Chambers’ show was last night. Incidentally, the council are making announcements like this via their Twitter feed rather than on their website. Seems a bit short sighted to me, I think a lot of people would go straight to the website.
