The gauntlet has been thrown down.The seminarians of St. Mary's College, Oscott, have challenged the student brothers of Blackfriars Oxford to a football match. It will take place on 28th November. Needless to say, the challenge was accepted, and some training sessions rather hastily arranged ...
We will keep you informed during the build up (without revealing any of the secrets of the training camp, of course). It promises to be a keenly fought encounter ...
Wha-hey for the 'Dogz!
ReplyDeleteI feel some chanting coming on.
I hope Br. Ursus hasn't gone into total Hibernation just yet and will be growling from the side lines.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he will be given the important role as "physio" along with Magic bucket and sponge (and honey!!) perhaps??
Hmm, he's not blogged for some time either........c'mon ye be-aaar!!

ReplyDeleteI'm cheering the boys from Oscott, but that's because I don't think y'all can run very fast in your skirts.
ReplyDeleteFrancisco;
ReplyDeleteyou haven't seen them ! - and, in any event, surely the Oscott team will be wearing their cassocks too ?
What I want to know is whether fr Mark is going to pass on - in true Dominican style - the fruits of his long contemplation of a certain North London club to his Brethren, and give them a little of the Professor's magic ?
By "skirts" i presume our friend Francisco means our religious habits. I can confirm that, surprisingly enough, we will be playing in normal football gear.
ReplyDeleteI shall be starting a Novena of the Dominican Litany on Wednesday 18th for you all - and if the Seminarians of Oscott have read the post for 29 October, that may give them something to worry about !
ReplyDeleteFor the benefit of those of us in the States, you need a "friar cam" for this event! I think you ought to stream live.
