Despite suffering from (CIS) Camera Inferiority Syndrome otherwise known as small camera syndrome Broomesport were privileged to witness history in the making during this year’s North West Touch Championships.
Broome’s very own self confessed greatest player ever Pat ‘the slippery eel’ Moase scored what has been described by some (mainly Pat) as the greatest try ever scored in the history of the north west champs and/or possibly the universe.
With only 30+ sunscreen, a sun visor, some protective undergarments, and a pair of lucky socks to assist him. Pat’s interception and 80m dash at half time in the under 13 b social game was nothing short of stunning. Despite appearing to rupture a hamstring at the half way point Pat was able to pretend he was playing in the last minute of the grand final for parramatta and produced a string of unusual-almost startled facial expressions which was enough to get him over the line. Amazingly it was barely the beginning of his stunning achievements over the weekend. Broomesport were given a play by play account of all the skills he wowed the crowds with by the man himself. But unfortunately the details were lost due to the fact he appeared to be wearing a pair of stockings at the time which proved quite disturbing.
The full story, however, will be published later this year when Pat releases his first book. More than just Zinc. My life as a touch footy legend.
All this talent at the age of 43. There is no telling what could lie ahead for the slippery one who also coached his Broome A and under 18 sides during the tournament. Broomesport salutes you and all involved with the championships.
Yes Pat’s story wasn’t the only one of note over the course of the weekend. The Dalai Lama’s favourite athlete Shaz Davies coached Broome B to some outstanding results with rumours afloat that she could replace Pat Moase as head coach numero uno if Pat is called up to represent the world touch side in the near future.
Refs Eddie Dwyer, Jules and Stewie Bonner also performed well despite the 1983 uniforms.
Alas it was not all good news with Ash Dann tarnishing the Broome image by matching his lucky business socks with his unlucky footy shorts throughout the tournament. We have sent a please explain to our Fashion’s of the Freak editor.
Well done to all involved in the tournament. Next year we’ll block the road to prevent Karratha coming. (They won for the tenth time in a row by the way) Results and other stuff will follow. We just had to get pat out of our system. |
