CAUTION – The following may contain truths!
T’was on the hill at Red Rocks
The time was two fifteen
The Vikings had landed at Ormskirk
For a battle high on the green
The boys with the Dragon Tattoos had sailed their longboats up the canal from Liverpool and boarded their horseless carriages to lay siege to Red Rocks having bypassed Rainford. They said their prayers in the Dragons Church now known as Orms Kirk (I heard this from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another in a London Embassy).
Taking the field with a good mix of experience and pace Park charged into the Viking shield wall. Powerful drives by Capt. Ned, Ste the T, Vila the Vill.i.am and Gnarly Nolan caused the shield wall to buckle and deft handling and dancing by Valentino created space for KP and Albert Tatlock culminating in a hat-trick for the Platt Lou is.
With the shield wall starting to blunt Park’s attack new tactics were called for and the old man of the sea came up trumps at the next scrum. When he crouched early the Vikings thought their moon god was shining on them and they started chanting “Si Mani, Si Mani” in honour of their god of fertility…..sorry….futility. Taking advantage of the distraction captain Ned picked up the ball showed a massive dummy to no one in particular and raced in from 20, 30, 40, 50 Oh at least 60 metres.
As the game wore on the boys from Orms Kirk started to crumble just like the towns famous product, gingerbread, and Vila the Vill.i.am and Big Bad Bearded Baz crossed for tries. This was a time for a double celebration, it was Baz’s silver jubilee in scoring his first try in 25 years of playing rugby and Ste the T celebrated 1 year clear of the Big C. Let’s all look forward to celebrating this day in 25 years.
Having succumbed to park on the battle field of Red Rocks Orms Kirk challenged Park to something they were more adept at – a Boatrace. But the Park lads were wise to them and pointed out it was a Sint Elens boatrace and while Simo poured out soapy beer they explained the rules and Th’Ormskirk Boys stated “gode Gud, de snød os, hvad cads, lad os gå tilbage til Ormskirk”* and Park lads supped all the beer.
* roughly translates from Danish as “good god, they cheated us, what cads, lets go back to Ormskirk”
