December 2010
It was a day of firsts today as the Mavericks took on the Dartford Academy at Princes Park. The Mavs gave a first appearance to Deren Ibrahim after his loan spell at Super Club "The Maltese Magpies" was terminated due to a Goal keeping crisis at the Estadio Da Luz. The Mavericks had been forced in previous week to play monkey rush but slippery winger Umang Patel said that he could no longer afford to damage his wrists or hands in the game as it would jeopardies his breaking and accelerating capabilities on his his new Yamaha delivery bike. Dominoes had threatened to withdraw the financial support for the Pizza Men's forth coming live performances if lead singer Patel was unable to perform on the sell out 'Re-Heat me in the Morning Tour' (tickets are still available at all good Dominoes restaurants)
Ibrahim was naturally delighted to finally have been picked for the Mavs after long time Captain Hollywood rubber stamped his immigration paperwork, sadly, that delight was short lived when Ibrahim blazed a penalty kick over the bar in the first half, clearing the stadium and landing in the face of a resident in Dartford. It was only the quick witted Patel who stepped in to administer cold Pepperoni slices from the cool box located on the back of his Yamaha that saved a potentially life threatening injury from developing.
The first half only resumed when Mango took his place back on the wing and saw out a largely uneventful first half for the Mavs who, in truth, were still trying to digest the large turkey dinners consumed over the festive period. It was suggested that skipper Hollywood had indeed been stuffing numerous large birds over Christmas although he was unwilling to clarify whether this was indeed true! wishing to state that his football was now his main priority.
After a quick turnaround at half time the Mavs took control of the game when Steve Earle pounced in the box to finish off a sweeping move involving Mango and substitute Ashley Ward. As the Darts continued to press gaps appeared, Maverick pressure drew a corner from where Brett Fairman swiveled to volley home from 10 yards out. His celebration clarified his overwhelming joy of being on the score sheet as it took the emphasis away from his haircut which resembled something from a 1950's Japanese prisoner of war camp....

Not even dodgy hair styles could help save the embarrassment of skipper Hollywood as he had to suffer the indignity of visiting Darent Vally Hosipital with suspected Hypothermia and ice burns (see below). During the game criminals broke into the Mavericks dressing room and stole Hollywoods clothing, Alec is seen as a clothing revolutionary and this is not the first time that he has fallen victim to cheap crimes. In the last year alone Hollywood has been the target of 4 muggings where items of clothing have been ripped from his body. Thankfully on every occasion the clothes have been returned as the thieves could not match up the wide ranging colors or sizes. Hollywood has now resorted to wearing UFC branded clothing to deter his potential attackers away, TAP OUT!
Another victory, 2-0 the shoreline and the Mavericks look forward to the remaining fixtures.
Go the Mavs!
