Lucky 7?

According to our website we are playing Stourport 5 this Saturday but the MRHA lists our opponents as Stourport 4. Either way what’s in a number?

Well, 7 seems to be a lucky number for the clubs on the banks of the Severn. Worcester 6 have beaten us 7-0 twice, Stourport 4/5 beat us 8-1, a margin of 7 and Worcester 7 also beat us.

There are seven days of the week, seven colours of the rainbow, seven notes on a musical scale, seven deadly sins, seven pillars of wisdom, seven seas and seven continents. Snow White ran off to live with seven dwarfs, there were seven brides for seven brothers, Shakespeare described the seven ages of man, Sinbad the Sailor had seven voyages. Ian Fleming chose 007 for James Bond. The opposite sides on a dice add up to 7, roll two in a casino and 7 has the most combinations.

7 prime reasons why it’s our turn to get lucky.

1. We have 7 points – onwards and upwards
2. Rushy has scored in 7 games – onwards and upwards
3. Charlie Russell plays like he is 7 feet tall – onwards and upwards
4. Tony Dwyer wishes he was 7 feet tall - onwards and upwards
5. Choppy H will reduce them to 7 men within 7 minutes – onwards and upwards
6. Bettridge is drinking Sloemotion No. 7 gin (really) – onwards and ever so slightly upwards
7. Yogi will only speak for 7 minutes at half-time – hallelujah

If that is not enough, we have 7 more players in the squad.

All this adds up to 7th Heaven.

Oh, and we have 7 league games left to get there.

See you on Saturday?
