Some funny stories:

During our first venture to Scotland in 2004 a young Mr Dowbiggan (Squeak) went to back to his room, locked the door and jumped into bed (alone), so imagine his surprise when he woke in the morning to find a naked Scotsman lying beside him, smoking a cigarette, reading the paper, who looked down at him and said "Morning Liam, good night last night!"

Batman and Robin have stopped the traffic on the A702 going into and out of Edinburgh to asist an eldery lady cross the road, which she did in remarkably very slow motion, much to the annoyance of the waiting traffic, but this did not deter our two heroes.

Tweety Pie finally had his revenge on the Sylvester the Cat, when it about turned the cat and ravaged it from behind, in the foyer of the Premier Inn at about 4pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to say that the guys drink a bit too much before the game, but as an indication of how things tend to pan out;

Tbob delivered one of his most damning speeches of the Millom teams play to Lutey, when he shouted Luton from the pitch, put his arm round his shoulder and delivered a volley of abuse directly into Lutey's ear, along the following lines, "Luton, the team is playing sh*t, tackling is non-existent, no one is backing up and your all playing like a pack of tw*ts!" It was however at this point, I did have to point out to our coach, that we hadn't starting playing yet and the guys were still warming up.

To say we are welcomed with open arms is an understatement, as when your team arrive at the clubhouse and the barman is shouting over to Mushy, who hasn't even put two feet into the bar area "Mushy my man! Welcome back pal! Is it the usual!"

The diversity of teams playing is an amazing rich mix of teams with various abilities, capabilities and desire to win. Millom have played Scottisg giants of the game Stewart Mellville, Herriot Watt and Murrayfield Wanderers. We have also played good local clubsides similiar to ourselves, like Edinburgh Northern, Edinburgh Academicals and Penicuk. The team that take the prize for making Slackie look small (& Mushy, if you know what I mean) was the Scottish Infantry that was made up of Fijian giants, who had to duck and turn sidewards to enter the changerooms, that were sharing with Millom!
