Report by Rockin' Ray Bart

 
"Unkind folk would call us Old Fat Blokes in tight pants, more subtle types might refer to us as Mature Ballplayers, and perhaps somewhere in between lies the real truth. 
 
The Club Classic Masters, as usual, was a snodger of a weekend and one of a few venues these days where old Bruins lineups reform and go to play.  Nursing our decrepit (Ray Lane excepted) physiques through the round robin stage, we managed to limp in to the semi finals where we were rolled by the impressive Hooter's lineup 4 to zip. We must have roughed 'em up good though, as they were then dealt with in the tournament final by the Bombers of Tweed.  It was a most ripping victory.
 
Many thanks to the new guys who played with us in the event, most of whom also were kind enough to chuckle politely at our 80's vintage jokes and stupid banter.  Next year, however, we probably will need to employ and interpreter for Spike (Sausages) Clancy as he is one of the few remaining humans who can actually talk in hyroglyphics . 
 
Kiwi import Col Sutherland, frequent Bruin Gavin Lucas and new comers Greg Boddice, Bobby Biggs and Clancy Condren all were welcome additions to our team and we hope they are kind enough to come back and do it again when next we suit up.  As usual, Bruins legends Ray Lane , Warren Cutts and Simon Carr were all smashing, with the usual display of spectacular Laney catches, Carr home run power and Cutts bleederisms.  In addition, the terrible twoesome of Gyte and Stone were solid and reliable in and out of the beer tent.
 
Thanks to Tracey our scorer and of course the magic Christine Jacka who, despite outgrowing our usefulness as ballplayers, still finds a place for us older dudes to play.  We love ya, Cracka!
 
Bruins Masters will return........."
