Pain endured for Pride

Injuries mounted as the I-House table tennis tournament moved into its exciting second round. Common complainants included sprained wrists, tendonitis of the shoulder and general ineptitude. Blood has been spilled, but not in vain, for the glory which awaits the Ping-Pong champion is a feeling which is about as close as you can get to spiritual nirvana with donning a saffron robe. As sports secretary Nomes stated, "Not since Rick McCosker broke his jaw in '78 have I seen such guts, determination and sheer stupidity in sport. I-House, I salute you all".

So great has the injury toll has been that games have been pushed back. Unfortunately, this means I-House will have to wait to crown their new champions, their heroes. Elder Statesman Paul Jacob called on all earthed AFL players to battle the pain, "Grit your teeth, tighten your paddle grip and play through the pain, do it for I-House, do it for Ping Pong, do it for me". Paulie, along with the rest of I-House, awaits with eager, no!, unbearable anticipation for the exciting climax of this grand event.
