Well sports fans, just what you have been waiting for, another season of the Old Farts....

Yes, hard to believe that little over 6 months ago we cleaned our gear and stored it ready for the new season.

Well its time to get it out, dust it off and prepare for another action packed Old Farts season.

There have been some changes to the team over the summer lay off, we lost some players in the draft, and picked up some new blood (much younger blood too which is great so that we older guys don't need to do all the running around) and have contracted into the team some players that filled in for us last year (Tim, Damon, Bradly).

So the new look Old Farts team will take the field on Sunday, NSH2, 2.30 for our opening game against old rivals Karori 2. Obviously there is some organise to be done re positions, introductions and the dreaded Farts initiation process, and as we believe in being prepared, the first Farts training session will be at NHS at 2.00 on sunday, enough time to do the usual Farts warm ups (chew the fat, friendly abuse, glen to have a smoke) and also to introduce the new players to the team.

See you all on sunday.

PS - I believe Damon (Who recently was a guest star on Project Runway)  is the new Gok, and he will be bringing shirts for those that don't have them.

PPS - No Oranges this week, as the NHS doesn't have a BYO license, so we will have a quiet one after the game upstairs. Ants will bring the first oranges of the year to our first "home" game at Elsdon later in the month.

PPPS - To those that haven't, you can join our facebook page Old Farts, and also siign up to the Blog to get schedule for games, after match reviews, and MVP points etc  http://oldfartshockey.blogspot.co.nz/
