Sausages glad June is over

VANCOUVER, June 28, 2007. The Sausages were only too happy to see the calendar flip from June to July, after a horrendous month of June in which they went 0-4. After a bye week May 31, they were tarred by the Glue June 7, mauled by the Hounds June 14, keelhauled by the Raiders June 21, and burnt to a crisp by the Bullies June 28.
As for my absence during the month, it may have had an effect on the morale of the team, and it seemed to have an effect on attendance at the games, but it was unavoidable. I was at an all-fly conference in Churchill, Manitoba (hosted by the black flies), and there was no internet connection in my hotel room. I could have deputised somebody to write the blog in my absence, but I didn't trust anyone to get the story right.
The scorebook was lacking in both stats and quotes to I was only able to gather the following on my return:
June 7 Savages: not very many, Glue: a lot
Game note: no scores kept in the scorebook at all, I can't even remember the game!

June 14 Savages: 1, Hounds: many
Game note: Hounds are undefeated so far this season.

June 21 Savages: 7, Raiders: more
Game note: Savages only had 7 players so defaulted.

June 28 Savages: 4, Bimini Bullies 10
Game note: 3 subs in the lineup for the Savages.
