Almaty look to out-Codge the Codgers

After last week’s comprehensive win, Almaty are looking to make it two wins on the trot as they face “The Codgers” tomorrow night. Little is known about the opposition as their score last week was not recorded.

Once again Almaty’s squad is somewhat depleted. Long-term injury “Axel” Foley is estimated to be out for another three weeks. SP is apparently attending a therapist as he is suffering from work related stress. “Rev” O’Donovan is still nursing a blow to his knee last week he has said he “might be fit”. However, the Gaffer (who is reported not to be on speaking terms with the troubled player) is reported to be fuming with O’Donovan after the tabloids spotted him leaving a Galway nightclub after throwing some serious moves on the dancefloor. To add to his worries “Lamps” Butler is ruled out for the next two weeks. The Gaffer has sent him away to Greece for an intensive two week “get fit” course after his somewhat stodgy performance last week.

On the plus side Phil “Guest” Smith loan period has been extended for another week. Despite being red-carded at the weekend in a foreign 11-a-side game, astro leagues ruling committee have declared Tadhg “Hatchet” O’Connell eligible to play. The Almaty players will be looking to impress tomorrow night as they face Citco in a local derby next week.

UPDATE: Forensic examination of the astro.ie site suggests that the Codgers won their match 6-2 last week...
