The expensive blessing

 

A group of 18 youngsters representing the country in a stick and ball tournament in Hong Kong recently had to ask help from a famous son to furnish their air tickets after the big man in-charge of all affairs just shaped up with only his ‘blessings’. After the intervention, the big man’s office near the course had to pay a huge extra sum as the prices of air tickets went up by almost a half than the time they were booked.

Blaster at it again
The famous blaster who played his last international match recently is taking part in a local willows competition these days. People say he is practicing hard to play in a new tournament which pays in dollars in Lion City.

Scorers keeping it up
The scorers of the most famous game in the country have broken into factions. Things are going beyond the extreme and it is said that a young scorer even had lodged a complaint in the cop shop after receiving death threats over the phone.

The blundering citadel
Two young players are to join the ‘A’ graded cricketers touring in the colonial land but both of them are huffing and puffing more than on the field due to unprofessional management of citadel officials. The two players are said to be struggling to obtain visa to join the team after officials blundered in their duties.

Seeing the red
The coach from the hill capital who became a big wig in the citadel who tried few new things recently is said to have come out with a yet another gimmick to save his day. During the past this coach has been able to catch the hearts of former big bosses and extend his terms. But the coach whose deal with the citadel is about to expire has failed to hypnotize the new big wig who is not impressed by his conduct.

Propaganda people stalled
Another new from the citadel! The propaganda people has been restricted of their joyrides around the pearl island by the new bosses it is heard.

Hide and seek
A group of yesteryear athletes who were bound to USA to take part in the world games for the old hands however could not make it after blunders made by the officials. The group originally had more officials than participants and later the officials cannily entered their names into the athletes’ list to get onboard. But only a player was granted visa at the end!

Waterman watered down
A top official from the water sport house who mouth-bashes every single person is told to have tried his ‘word challenge’ with the wrong person this time. This loudmouth who has his own way of conducting tournaments, rather secretly, even tried to control some journos recently. But the loudmouth is heard regretting his words on a wing-man who is on the hunt of him.

All about the try
There is a lot being said about the try that the sailor boys think they scored. The story that is being said is that the dons from Kandy Mal S and Kap put their hands on the head and said OHHH. Papa who had come out see the dear Sonnna play said to Mal S and Kap the try won’t be given. Now all at the big cupboord too knows about Thrillroy.

Idiot box talking
Bigmouth is at it again and he may be not wrong after all. When he got the chance over the idiot box of the Golden Wahini he took the chance. He has an axe to grind and this was an opportunity. He is asking all around whether this is the way the Lions fixed the BRAAD BEE. Chee Chee Ari says ATTA. Mar the Ricks
Poor Mar the Ricks is having a difficult job with the flying types not doing well and the 200 boys he recruited too getting agitated . Thank the stars for the bullet did not hit anybody. Kandy knows that it was he who set the uniform boys on fire always calling Forward pass sir! Knock on sir!! . Ask Mili the boys say when they want Mar the Ricks.
