MAY
NEWS:
Rumour has it!
With
the Reserve league having just kicked off in
the last week, an interesting story was
recently told about our Chairman and the ‘ruthless’
recruitment policy that he employed in the mid
90’s. Allegedly, Paddy had, among his fairly
‘sizeable’ workforce a man called Jack
O’ Hearne who was also, coincidently, a
Parnells man and their Reserve manager at
that.
Now,
apparently, as the season drew to a close (which
incidently coincided with the start of a new
academic year at Strawberry Hill College)
the St.Brendan’s Reserve team had reached
the Championship final and they were to meet
Parnells in the final. On the particular
Saturday of the final, Paddy apparently was
working his Parnells employee ‘to the bone’ and
Paddy himself was planning to shoot off early
so that he would have time to get down to
Strawberry Hill and pick up a load (or
possibly two) of students to supplement
his somewhat depleted Reserve squad. As it
turned out, Paddy was late getting away from
the job, no thanks to the Parnells man making
an excuse about having to M.O.T. his car and
heading off home early. Allegedly, Paddy
jumped into his infamous Ford Granada with the
boot filled to the brim with spare boots, odd
socks, jerseys, various gloves, tracksuit tops
and the odd gum shield to cater for the
various student needs, and sped down the Hayes
by-pass to Twickenham. (Paddy knew about differentiation before any of us in education knew
about it.)
On
getting to the college, Paddy was delighted
and relieved to see that his highly selected
bunch of new recruits were all waiting for him
as he had arranged. Paddy’s intelligence
gathering was such that he was confident that
he was securing the services of the best
footballers available in the college.
Following a bit of banter and few checks that
everyone had their ID cards to prove that they
were all legal, the oul Granada was loaded up
and Paddy proceeded out the gate. Now, just as
they are about to edge out of the college
entrance, and Paddy has already had to tell
‘Pocket’s’ to stop farting, who does
Paddy meet driving in through the College
gate, but only ‘yer man’ from the Parnells,
the bold Jack O’. It suddenly dawned on
Paddy that the reason Jack O’ had left the
job early was because he had the same idea as
Paddy i.e. to get down and pick up a few
students for the Parnells. Without a
moment’s thought, Paddy simply rolled down
the window and shouted over to Jack O’, ‘Hi
Jack O’, you can have what I have left!’, before
speeding off amid howls of laughter and
pleadings for ‘Pockets’ to be thrown out
for stinking the car out
