The athlete's muscles rippled as he prepared to shoot the final point of the match; the tendon on his left index finger looked red and strained, but he was a true tiddlywinker and would not flinch. After a fleeting glace towards the victor's decanter of sherry, he squidged, scored, and the Gargoyles had downed Penn 26-9 in last Saturday's match.
Gargoyle captain Jim Parry described the match as a pushover, and lauded the skillful efforts of shooter John Kernochan and squopper Tom Houston, Saturday's high scorers.
Parry is delighted with the team's success, and has even gone so far as to claim that the Gargoyles could defeat Oxford's world champions in a return match.
