There are only two certainties in life, one is that we will all die and the other is that the Mavericks will only have 10 players on the day of the game! Today was no different as the "Dream Team" met up shocked by the news that long time team member Luke Rutherford was unavailable. Rumor had it that Rutherford had a pre arranged work commitment although suspicions were raised by the returning Joe Horlock, a man known for the odd excuse and cover up story himself in recent weeks!
Unknown to Rutherford team mate Horlock has been tracking his every move for the last few days and arrived with evidence that there was indeed a dirty secret to be told. The truth is that Rutherford has broken team rules and has been seen out with a female companion in the last few days, Rutherford is not the first to break the Mavs 'no girlfriend policy' this season, In October Ben Young was found in position of a large toy bear, when questioned he tried in vain to convince his team mates that it was for his own personal consumption. It was not believable then and sadly not now either, Rutherford is now in the same position, Even if Luke wanted to plead his innocence JH has put pay to that by turning up with photographic evidence of the fallen Maverick Icon.
Luke Rutherford & Sophie caught on camera yesterday!
Even Mango Patel said that he was disgusted at the betrayal and would immediately be removing Rutherford from his his friends and Family discount account held at Dominoes (Plumstead branch only, available on Wednesdays). Even long term friend Hollywood limited his Cougar searching at the Mavericks office because he felt sick at the thought, he was only seen in there 4-5 times throughout the day.....By the time the Mavericks hit the road there was obvious tension within the camp. Hollywood was dealt a further blow when new recruit Quadzilla unleashed a pair of thighs that the skipper could only dream of! luckily he was able to put the disappointment behind him and took his place in the absent Rutherfords position.......
The 3-0 scorline saw the Mavericks score there first penalty of the year when Ben Young tucked home from 12 yards and celebrated in unusual fashion (see below)
His second saw him slot home home a long punt forward from Deren with a neat side foot finish. The game was wrapped up late in the second half when Mango scored his 100th goal of the season which saw him skid, wheel spin and slide the ball in to the roof of the net.
We await the rest of the results to see if the Mavericks can claim their second consecutive league title, only time will tell if Rutherford can reclaim the support of his teamates and Ben can move away from his teddy bear fetish.
Go the Mavs!
