Wunghnu breaks 65 game losing streak

[Wayde Petersen]

Yes my freinds, what seemed to be impossible has finally happened, and many football people up here are delighted that the Mighty Wunghnu Magpies, the most lovable team in football have beaten Mathoura (the Timbercutters) in a senior Picola & District game, breaking a three and a half year losing streak, and I bet that the boys will be raging on til the wee hours at the Mechanic's Institute Hotel, Wunghnu tonight.

Tarpeena's record is safe! :cool: :p

Great effort! What a day! Unbelievable.

And as soon as I saw the title of your thread I thought ... they must have played Blighty (Blighty were also winless and had a lower percentage at the time).

How grouse that it wasn't even Blighty!

[Wayde Petersen]

Mathoura were also winless coming into this game, so either way somebody was going to break the drought so to speak, but the Timbercutters have been struggling for numbers this year due to the axing of many jobs in the sawmills due to the drought and tougher regulations, so i'm delighted that Wunghnu have finally won a game, but I hope that Mathoura can also keep afloat.

As far as Blighty goes, well they've done the usual trick in buying a heap of players to buy a flag, failed and now they've been left with a lot of former reserves players, also Blighty is a tiny place (blink and you'll miss it), and because they get most of thier money from donated rice and cattle from local farmers, so they can sell on the market, and since there's precious little of that around, they club suffers as well.

Phil, Tarpeena lost 120+ matches in a row didn't they, and if you could you please tell us the longest losing streak for teams in every state/territory, if you can.

And, BTW. Kinglake didn't draw with Diamond Creek, a huge fog rolled in cutting visability to 20 metres, at the start of the second quarter, and the umpires decided to call it a draw according to the DVFL's "Kingalke Rule", that states that any game that can't continue to to weather before half time, should be demmed a draw, and if that happnes in the 3rd or 4th quarter, the team that is ahead at the time of the cancellation, is demmed to be the winner, and in both cases, the umpires make the final decision, luckily for the Lakers, Diamo were up by 4 points when they called it off

Is Kinglake the most evil location to play footy ever?

You haven't played on gravel obviously, Phil.D! That's what the Queenstown ground is made from!
