AN ODE TO 4TH TEAM

The 4ths are not, as some proclaim,
The weakest team, a little lame,
Instead they are the best achievers,
So there you go, you non-believers.
In each and every match begun,
They thought they had already won,
And gifted goals to other teams,
Such kindness not as it did seem.

For straight away they fought right back,
With dynamo Dom in swift attack,.
Or maybe Luke with shots from far,
Would land the korf - oh what a star!
But girls must also take the praise,
When fiery Hayley is ablaze.
Or Charlotte shooting on the turn,
A trick that all the team must learn.

But even ageing Steve and Jon
Did prove their talent’s not yet gone,
And the happiest player sure must be
When Kathy scores and shouts with glee.
And Rhi who usually cuts it fine
This year got to every game on time.
And Dan the coach didn’t really nag
When Mike had his usual pre-match fag.

So well done 4ths, 3rd in the league
Next year I’m sure you will succeed
To take the next step, go right up,
And maybe not to win the cup.
But with others; Martin, Andy and Phil
There’s every chance you surely will,
And before you say I missed them out
Bec, Debs and Di will have a shout.
But if we are to reach our goal
Please 3rds don’t pinch our Sarah Hole!
