The Year of the Tiger. Oh what other animals have we here? A magnificent bunch for sure, all polite and docile. Really !!
Maurice Bromley - Tournament Director
Certainly the old bull at the gate when things are not as they should be. Barging, snorting, stamping and pawing dust all over the place. The Maurice bull in the china shop, can you imagine that some time. Sure works for the Sixes. None better.
Renita Bromley
Finance and advertising guru and more. This pussy cat has a real snarl. Do not get the money mixed up or else you will be severely clawed. Can be as docile as a kitten and purrs when everything is balanced. Not a satang missing. No kitty liter around here either.
Mike McCune
If its computers it’s Mike. Is it the hippopotamus or the bull walrus ? Tend to think it is the old bull walrus. Gets things done and you better believe it. Just don’t mess with his program. Has his harem all caroled waiting for the moment of inspiration to come.
Barry Radburn
Responsible for teams and fees. No mister finicky. Better get your entry in early, deposit paid and final payment on time or else. Probably the hardest job of all. The team scheduling we better call him the old sheep dog, now that is a compliment as there is nothing better than a good sheep dog to round up a bunch of old sheep, just like we have to contend with every year. Even has the goatee to match. Job done.
Eric Little
Grounds. Slow and deliberate, probably the old draft horse, strong and dependable. Always waiting at the gate ready for work. Never shies at any thing, the more difficult the better. The mane suits the old nag. Not ready for the knackery yet.
Sue Liddell
Chief scorer. A calculating numbers girl this one. Nobody’s bunny but a little cotton tail and that’s no tale. Scores well it is said in many places. Strange animals these scorers, neat scrupulous and pedantic. Who is that ?? is their favourite saying.
Anne Dawson
Persistent and has lots of fire, has to be a Tasmanian Devil. Don’t bother arguing or even thinking of challenging this one. Can spit and bite with the best of them. Can have the occasional placid moment though.
Peter Dawson
The ferret slinking about looking down holes. Ferrets are usually blinded by spotlights, but not this one. In fact he gravitates to the Spotlight and can be seen ferreting around there on any Friday night.
David Walker
Magazine and printing. The cheetah relaxes a lot but when in action moves like lightening. A lone hunter stalking his prey silently and striking with deadly consequences leaving but ne’er a trace.
“Reds” Ian Liddell
Has to be the fox. This wily old cuss can be seen sneaking around during the nocturnal hours looking for bits of all things innocent and vulnerable. Favourite past-time is raiding the hen house, lurking down wind with the breeze in his face getting a sniff or two or at other times groveling around some sleazy place in Loi Kroh.
Terry Skillet
The elk loves to lock horns with anyone who has the temerity to think differently to him. Maybe the velvet on his antlers annoys him. Horny old sod bellows load and long when threatened.
Jenny Morgan
The demon of the duck. She must be a “meercat” as she is always on the look out for some unsuspecting batsman that has not troubled the scorers. Always alert, at the ready looking after her family, the kids of cricket. Never ducked an opportunity yet to catch a quacker.
Awn Pattamaporn
Resident bar keeper and of all things alcoholic. Our fluffy little cute Persian, loves to be the centre of attention. A good stroke goes a long way. Can be tempted with a drink, but watch those teeth, they are sharp. Not to be taken lightly.
Paul “Hagar” Jones
Umpire in chief. The elephant, will always trumpet his cause, stomp his feet and will sit on you if you do not agree. Will fail miserably the girthometer test. Just about as tall lying down as standing up.
Steve Christie “Crunch”
The bison, strong reliable, quick on his feet. Built to endure tough conditions. A good leader and protector of his herd. Don’t mess or disturb his herd or he will crunch you.
