Quiz Night @ Ashton United

What can you say - them buggers from Duki Town won for the second year in a row (88 out of 100 - that's some going...)

There was a team from Dukinfield Town ..... they won ..

There was a team from Ashton United ..... they came second ..

There was a team representing Stalybridge Celtic (didn't recognise any of 'em - certainly saw none of 'em at Southport last night !) - they came third ..

There was ... a team comprising me (Mossley), Curzon Blue (work it out !) and Dave Bax and "Young Bax" (two Ashton United extras) - fourth ..

There was another team from Ashton United (Danny the Manager's team) ..... they turned up late but still managed to finish last !!

Now you get a moaning Smiffy - a Quiz - well-publicised - money to a good cause (Bobby Moore Cancer - he was also "Number 4" in the picture round) - ends up with five teams.......

I do my "Six Tame Sides" stuff - Robin advertises on ALL message boards - and reminds on ALL message boards - yet we get a pathetic turnout like that - don't get me wrong - over £100 was raised tonight - on a night with no real "crap" on the box (although the Rangers penalty shoot-out got a few watching !!) Thursday is a spare night - I don't normally get the chance - but knowing full well in advance - I stick it on the calendar - and I get the "time off" - yes even after a "Wet Wednesday" in Southport ....

A shame that the rest of Tameside couldn't get their collective arses in gear - it would have been great to see - for example - a Mossley "A Team", a "Mossley B Team" and a "Mossley P-Head Team"... or stuff like that....

It didn't happen - but for all you miserable toads out there - you missed a good 'un - and I've a spare "Picture Round" in my house .........

Anyway - here's Jason and his crew - for the second year in a row.... Tameside Football Quiz Kings... respect ..
