Pace on Earth

Little Acorns

This weekend is the first annual Bill Thorpe Memorial game. His son, and my good friend, Matt arrived home on Tuesday to take part in the game and also a brief ceremony at the club prior to the game. We’ve had a couple of good nights of fun since he arrived, laughing at the club, and remembering exactly why we play the game that his dad introduced to so many. It’s a good lesson after how we were feeling after last weekend.

Tomorrow’s game is against a UNB select team made up of alumni who are home for their reunion. It was the perfect time to play this first installment. UNB is our most traditional rival and we now enjoy are good relationship with them. Having said that, when game time comes there will no doubt be lots of animosity and probably even some barbs thrown back and forth. We are Loyalists and they are Squirrels, that’s just the way it goes. The story goes that Bill named the club the Loyalists but I have no idea who thought of calling the Ironmen squirrels but it’s said to be because after the game the go up the hill and play with their nuts. So with that in mind, here’s Friday’s Flashback:

Pace out.
