Bar Wars: The Imperial Union Strikes Back

An overcast February afternoon saw the coming together of the masses of IC’s bar staff. As the sides assembled the numerical advantage was definitely with the Southers. Unperturbed by this (and the weight advantage) the heroes of the Union went to their task.

After an unsteady beginning Dimitri the traitor, who was moonlighting from his secret life in Basics, put on home for the union. Southside’s supporters, encouraged by whisky and vodka, then raised their team and Barney surged down the wing and slipped one past the stranded union goalie. The union then fought back and won a free-kick. Gerry’s precise lob hypnotised the keeper and the union were back in front. A perfect cross let Justin in for a thumping header to allow the union to go in leading three-one at half time.

Southside came out looking like a different team. Intense pressure led to goals from Nick, Barney and Ewan to put them up four-three and seemingly in control. Nothing could deny the union, however, as they stepped up a gear with Dimitri scoring one and Jason two to finish the match off. The boat-race was won easily by Southside - at least they can do something.
