A raucous Silly Sunday is off to a cracking start this morning as a club legend sets the pace on a day of debauchery.
With the curtains drawn and doors locked on the function room down the back of the Courthouse Hotel, it’s believed both the 3rd and 4th grade Betoota Dolphins squads have gathered to toast to a season well played by getting as rotten drunk as possible.
Despite neither team making the finals this year, all 42 of the players were seen shuffling into the venue at 9:58am this morning, wearing an assortment of costumes they picked up from Temu, or found in their children’s fancy dress box.
Anointing himself as the Master of Ceremonies, club veteran Duncan “Doughnut” Webcke addressed the collection of reserve graders to set out some parameters for the day.
“Righto boys I’m starting us off with three rules,” bellowed club veteran Dunc, who’d somehow found a milk crate to stand on to help with his opening welcome address.
“Rule one, if you’re caught using someone’s nickname, you must scull your drink.”
“Rule two, if you’re caught with an empty glass in front of you, you must buy two jugs.”
Pausing to scull four fingers worth of his second pint of the day, loud cheers were heard as the Silly Sunday stalwart set in stone the most important rule for the next 24 hours of carnage.
“Rule three, all phones MUST go into the safety bucket!” he said, holding up an empty mop bucket he’d found behind the bar.
“We don’t need another blow up like last year, that bloody video of naked Nath and the jar of strawberry jam is still doing the rounds on socials…”
More to come.
