Each team nominated a player, who shoved a big stack of 2p's between their thighs, completed an obstacle course then deposited as many of the coins as possible into a jug placed on the floor. After the first run Chris Turner had pulled the seconds back, but was it too little too late? Big Lee hadn't performed as expected for the firsts. Young Brocky played a blinder for the fourths propelling them into second place. However, Paul Hunt for the thirds failed to get even a single tuppence in the pot! A shock result! Turner went through on his final run and despite depositing a good deal of copper in the pot he was unable to overhaul the other teams. Big Lee again underperformed, maybe wearing a frock and blonde curly wig had affected his ability to keep his legs together! Brocky couldn't repeat his feat of his first run and when he got to the pot found he'd already lost all the coins. It was down to Hunt to win it for the thirds in, by his own admission, his specialised event. all he needed to win was 16. With his robe tucked in the front of his boxers he was off round the course. With the spillage of barely 3 coins at the press up stage his confidence, and that of his team mates, was high. JP Hardman was commentating and you could cut the tension with a knife! Hunt got to the pot, dropped his load and got ONE, a measly ONE. The firsts went wild, the thirds were gutted! Brocky, by now the sole representative of the fourths had come second. Hunt will be "The Gimp" on Saturday 16th to atone! Needless to say it was necessary to pass more money to the bar staff in return for liquid refreshment as the first's sang and danced with their trophy! Some of the young bucks went off to town, minus the fancy dress! The rest of us went home to bed! The firsts will be arranging the next event after the standard has been set by the thirds. If they put the same effort into organising their event as they did into participating in this one it'll be one to remember!
