BATTLE AGAINST THE ODDS !
As the C.C.Cup looms over the horizon it is obvious the Falcons will be facing their toughest challenge yet ! After four long years of hurt they finally triumphed over the high flying eagles outfit . The breaking of this psychological hold the opposition had over them and the nature of their emphatic victory should all point to the Falcons embarking on this years renewal as favorites . However a lot has happened in the last twelve months ! The Eagles have replaced two , shall we say ,weaker players in the guise of Dave " 9 hole " Roscoe and the undisputed three times king of the longest walk Darren Hudson with two potentially very strong rookies in Kieth Gill and Kenny G ! Add to that the Falcons loosing seasoned pro Gary Barnet and their talisman and all time leading scorer David Taylor Black and the retention of the cup seems a forlorn if not near impossible task !
But hold on , we Falcons must not lose hope ! Let us draw from the inspiration of David and his unlikely triumph over the giant Goliath . The little fella had no chance . Even his home supporters were laying him on betfair as he walked out to do battle .
As the big man unsheathed a 6ft piece of steal that could cut through rocks the little man cooly drew out a sling and a couple of pebbles ........ with a couple of smooth twirls David was unleshing his projectiles striking his target with pinpoint accuracy .
Before the crowd knew what was happening the big man had hit the deck, the Isrealites were singing come and ave a go if you think your ard enough to the Philistines and the under dog had gained an unlikely victory .
So what can we Falcons draw from this . 1. Was Goliath a little bit complaicent ? 2. David kept calm and showed tremendous bottle 3. A good performance from David gave his team mates confidence 4. David had a nice smooth tempo to his swing allowing him to fire off a nice straight shot !
LETS GO TO BATTLE FALCONS !!!!!!!
