Dulwich Hamlet 1 Banstead 2, 06/12/03
The oldest swinger in town meets the crappest winger in South London. Bit harsh on the local heroes, but the Banstead 'keeper was a balding, pot-bellied porn star look-alike with a nasty looking moustache.

Streatham Redskins 5 Basingstoke Buffalo 2, 30/11/03
Old time hockey needn't resort to blue collar teams grinding out a dump and chase bore of a game; the re-born Streatham Redskins are playing a fluent passing style of hockey, epitomised in the classy second goal for the home team during the first period with the puck obbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120435.post-1070145335548932032003-11-29T22:35:00.000Z2003-12-02T12:10:56.840ZCrap Match Report story filed by: onionbag blogger Saturday 29 November, 2003
London Towers 81 Sheffield Sharks 90, 29/11/03
A packed Palace for the BBL Trophy semi-final double header. First out were the Towers on their home court taking on top of the table side the Sheffield Sharks. The visitors set the early pace with a 16-21 lead at the end of the first. In the second quarter the Sharks obbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120435.post-1069803209239765862003-11-25T23:33:00.000Z2003-12-02T12:11:07.856ZCrap Match Report story filed by: onionbag bloggerTuesday 25 November, 2003
Dulwich Hamlet 1 Tooting and Mitcham 1, 25/11/03
Dulwich in the pissing rain, Arsenal at home on TV with a pizza? Looks like I lost the toss. And so it was that with conditions resembling boarding day for Noah and his Ark, we welcomed the team down to Champion Hill who inspired the legendary 'you're worse than Tooting obbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120435.post-1069610899977311252003-11-22T18:08:00.000Z2003-12-02T12:11:20.730ZCrap Match Report story filed by: onionbag blogger Saturday 22 November, 2003
London Towers 91 Milton Keynes Lions 81, 22/11/03
The opening minutes of the first quarter were more like a game of hockey with the ever reliable Milton Keynes team displaying their usual gooning tactics. A very physical game with Jamison in particular for the Lions trying to take out Sneed for the Towers.

Dulwich Hamlet 2 Worthing 1, 15/11/03
One way traffic in the first half with the Hamlet having their backs to the wall against the boys from the South Coast. Oooh, Sailor Boy, etc etc. Worthing took the lead with a bullet of a diving header - shame it was an own goal, but easily out-classed any Premiership Goal of theobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120435.post-1069610876271271592003-11-15T18:07:00.000Z2003-12-02T12:11:38.340ZCrap Match Report story filed by: onionbag blogger Saturday 15 November, 2003
London Towers 99 Thames Valley Tigers 86, 15/11/03
A storming start from the Towers stealing a 6-0 lead only to allow the Tigers to trail 27-26 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was characterised with clumsy passing from the home team allowing the visitors to hurt them on the breakaway with a 44-46 obbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120435.post-1069610825297964242003-10-25T18:07:00.000Z2003-12-02T12:12:13.013ZCrap match report story filed by: onionbag blogger Saturday 25 October, 2003

Dulwich Hamlet 3 Epsom & Ewell 1, 25/10/03
An appalling game for the football purist with the ball being hoofed high in the air rather than being passed along the ground.

London Racers 4 Coventry Blaze 4 (OT), 24/10/03
Racers took the lead early in the first with Coventry soon equalising. An explosive second period which saw the scores go from 1-1 to 4-3 to the Racers; a fantastic solo goal, a fluke rebound off the boards and a cheating Coventry netminder.

London Towers 91 Brighton bears 86, 18/10/03
Ended up sitting with the mongs from Essex Leopards yet again, who since the demise of their club, have taken to attending Towers matches, only to continually slag off the home team.

London Racers 1 Nottm Panthers 3, 17/10/03
Face off was late. Still managed to thankfully miss the National Anthem. Tried out the new terracing - a good view but fell over more than once. Racers powerplay has less thrust than a second hand space shuttle. Looked very dodgy behind their own net, almost afraid to advance. obbnoreply@blogger.com
