Devizes Hockey Club Hi all Mattie here. I am in a foul mood, there is a food shortage here in Midshires, the prices in all our local restaurants have hit the roof!! My credit cards are up to their limit, I am overdrawn and all because people seem to find it amusing to book up the restaurants to stop me eating, they then seem to absent mindedly forget to turn up. Our restaurants are now starting to take deposits from their customers to stop this happening. Frankly I smell a rat!! I wish these pranksters would stop this if only at the local kebab shop. I hope you don't mind my little rant. Anyway things here at Midshire are going from strength to strength, you may well remember Reginald MacMillan our somewhat ageing coach, well he sprang off the bench the other day, discarded his zimmer frame and proceeded to score the winning goal against local rivals Chavhampton HC we are now in a position to fulfill our dream - that of Andorran National League status, the game really was the famed six pointer. Reginald's younger brother Michael was playing in our third XI team last Saturday as a favour to his cousin, well all his cousins actually as they all play for this team. Incidentally my cousins play for our seocnd team. I hope you are keeping up with all this. Anyway tally ho I have to go and chase the proverbial fox with our local hunt the Midshires, actually it is just a bag of aniseed - we wouldn't chase a fox as after all that's illegal. Bye Byr for now Mattie Ferguson Chairman Midshires HC
