and if you read the paper, anyone over 60 is elderly, but I disagree, I think anyone over 80 is elderly.
I sure don't feel elderly.

Sat front row and watched Voldemort's Canberra Cannons beat Leroy's West Adelaide Bearcats in the GF. It was a 2 point thriller and I was hooked.

While only yesterday I read botinagy.com about the sixties and it bought back memories. Then, I remembered that this was here.
The year was 1962 and I was 11 years and started playing under 12s 'biddy ball' and followed those guys that boti talked about.
Later, I played with and against my heroes and I was frightened of them.
I ended up playing 2 or 3 games a week, summer and winter for 20 odd years,
a few thousand games.
