Nice Day All Round

Georgie Howling

Well for me the top story really had to be winning the Quiz Night; it was definitely not the expected outcome and we certainly like a success story. We went from the picture round, where identifying different pubs around Cambridge got us reminiscing about the events that had seen us eat match teas and enjoy a tipple or two, into general knowledge, where we certainly thought that there was more underground above ground but hit the nail on the head with our 45% estimate, and were dumbfounded that others had known the longest recorded flight for a chicken. Who knew that George would be able to get that, but not the answer to the amount of goals he has let in over the years he has been at South (harsh!)? We certainly came into our own when we had to name artists and songs during the music round. Top points from us; solid performances by Jason Maraz and Van Morrison. Robs Muzza was upset to loose her George Ezra super-fan title when mis-naming one of his songs, but I am sure she can regain it though the continuous wearing of his T-shirt or revision of his song introductions.

With Alice on the quiz-writing team it could have been said that we had an advantage. Perhaps we knew where her mind would take the questions. We certainly couldn’t have predicted the answers to the cheese pun round, definitely our weakest performing round. However we were bang on with our answers for who else, other than - Pearson and herself! - have scored over 100 goals at the club. Nice job, ‘Spice Girls’ (thanks for the name, Pearson), we deserved that bottle of red!

As we are going backward through the day, it is worth saying that before the quiz my school netball team achieved two great wins as well; beating Felsted school 18-0 and Stamford school 14-8, so the day was going well. And to really top it off the Cambridge South L1s had taken on Newmarket 1s and beaten them three-nil! What a winning day.

Can I remember any of the details… I must try! We scored three times and thanks go to Robyn Mc, Carly and Maddy for getting the ball in the net. There were a number of contenders for Lemon: Maddy for a great run head-first into the goal that was off the pitch, Blythe for nearly falling over the back of the baseline, Robyn for colliding with a player and for running backwards so fast she sat down, Carly for her gin and tonics before training as well as ‘bar nuts’. But sadly only one vote was cast for the ticket machine for being useless and I ended up with votes because I left early (sadly, I have a job) and also made a rather mindless comment about a structure we don’t use! Ooopsy!

Commendations go to Jenny for a great debut: we all loved the successful aerial, winning her MOM. Other mentions go to Alice H for her movement up front, Blythe for her drives which she carefully executed to plan, as well as Louise for great saves and Carly for her goal.
