Championships don't come easy. As the the old cliche goes: in order to be the best you have to beat the best. On Monday night the Georges did just that, bludgeoning the defending champs 5-0 at Binks. It was their 4th consecutive victory, and a blow horn to the ears of the NOPO division.
It was, perhaps, the Urquhart regime's finest hour, and has solidified the Georges current streak as one of the greatest in team history. "No doubt it was a big win, and we're going to celebrate tonight," the surprisingly jovial captain stated afterwards, "but tomorrow morning we put some coffee on the pot and get back to work."
When asked what inspired the team to such heights, Urquhart responded, "We had a good week of preparation. The troops rallied for some practice and we came out focussed and ready to beat the Mailman."
"But dammit," he then snapped, showing a bit of the old trademark fury,"we can't let up now. If we do we're going to get bit right square in the ass! Teams will be gunning for us now, make no mistake about it."
Fans mobbed their favorite Georges afterwards as the Mailman and his stunned henchmen struggled to find the exits. It was a scene unrivaled by any celebration in recent memory. Tickets for remaining home games have already sold out as fans are clearly sensing something special in the making.
"Its starting to feel like the summer of 07 all over again," beamed Delroy Hicks of 27th Avenue. "Hooo-weee, hallelujah! This is gonna be some kinda scene to watch!"
"The Georges are definitely on the radar now," stated a shell shocked Mailman afterwards, who was too disturbed by the night's unfolding events - as well as the sight of his nemesis Creepywhite looming on the George's bench - to dare play himself.
When asked where the defending champs go from here, The Mailman replied, "We'll try to go home and regroup, but man, it won't be easy. Let this be a warning to the rest of the league."
For the first time in a long while, FGPP find themselves in serious contention for the NOPO division crown. With 4 straight team victories - and 15 wins in their last 20 individual matches - the local heros are poised and eager to attack the stretch run.
"Lets get it on!" yelled Corn Sandwich, who was then attacked by 3 sweaty female fans.
There is only one question that remains for the Georges, and it is one that all championship teams must ultimately face: can they close?
