This week Old Ignatians (OI) Boggy Ward interviews 1st Grade Prop and regular down the grades Matty "Easter" Wright.
OI G’day mate.
MW Listen Boggy, be nice to me I don’t want one of those silly interviews where you take the piss.
OI As Robbie Palmer says “1800 No Worries”
MW OK . . . be kind.
OI Too late! Is it true that when you get really intoxicated & incapable of speaking, you just stand still in the corner smiling! Just like an Easter Island Statue?
MW OK, Maybe. Yeah but I prefer my other nicknames of Ch....... [Cut him off]
AC Whatever!
OI Is it true you married a Drummoyne Dirty Red’s player?
MW Yep - Liz was once Captain of the Womens team.
OI Who is/was the best player?
MW Well Liz was captain so she has the honours! However there is a chance Flynnie is out on the weekend so maybe I will get the call up. God knows I have been brown-nosing Al Metcalf enough over the past few months. Fingers Crossed!
OI You're dreaming again mate!
OI Do you miss Matty Thomas?
MW Absolutely! Where are the Rants? Where is the Front Rowers Club? Where is the try scoring competition? Where is Jamie? Where is Sandy? Where is the one front rower slower than me around the park? It is a real void in my life.
OI Well Matt? Saturday will be your lucky Day. It is Grattan Appreciation and Labour Assistance Day (Gala Day) and our special guest will be Matt, Sandy & Jamie Thomas. Matt wanted to keep it discreet & is bringing boots!
