Going to the chapel ...

... and they gonna get ma-a-a-rried ... a big shout out to Marshy and Pauli who got engaged this past weekend. Congrats from all of us!

What a cracka!

The 34th Midmar Mile took place earlier this month with Lyndsay “Marshy” Marshall taking on the Game Charity Challenge. The challenge requires that entrants swim all 8 races of the Midmar Mile (a total of 12,8 km) and raise a minimum amount of R10,000. All the proceeds are donated to various charities which include the learn-to-swim foundation amongst others.

Marshy successfully completed all 8 miles in an average time of 26 minutes per race. What a quicker! She also raised a staggering R22,000 which will hopefully be used wisely to increase water awareness and safety.

Well done Marshy, you are a cracka! What a great example of how one person can make a difference. Go you good thing!

Valentines match

The Crackas were hard pressed for players last night. The Southern Gauteng Hockey Association very thoughtfully scheduled our indoor game for 18h30. Accordingly the die hard romantics of the team dusted the rest of us for candles, wine, dinner and shoinking.

Being the rather jaded and cynical individual I am, I personally think that Valentines Day is a conspiracy between florists, jewelry shops, card shops etc to exploit love-struck individuals. Whilst I concede that every couple needs to spend some ‘couple’ time together, I find the whole commercial aspect of Valentines Day rather deplorable.

Nonetheless, the real reason for this post is to thanks Ang, Mousey, Nicole, Sarah and Shannon for running their asses off last night. Yip, we went down but we had fun doing so!

Outdoor trials

Wanderers outdoor trials are being held at the Wanderers astro on Monday evening, the 12th March, at 18h30.

Girls who are interest in playing should be at the field just after 18h00. Please bring along a light and dark shirt.
