The Reader's Doglist proudly presents our generous guide to a glorious summer of sport!

It's all too much! Revel in the healthy pursuits of your gifted fellow-citizens as they strain every sinew to achieve perfection in their chosen field. Aaaahhhh the noble art! The honest endeavour!. The sickening crunch of bone on bone. The thrills, the spills, the hospitalizations!

Just feast your eyes on this mouth-watering diary of events!

Snooks

The International Pro-Celebrity championships reach their thrilling conclusion. As always, the crowds will gather at the home of English Snooks - the hallowed confines of the West Teeth Academy of Science, New Technology and Snorkel.

Limbering up below are some this year's finalists:-

Attempt at a Left-Legged Hurty Dance

Tiger Wolulds attempts a 'left-legged hurty dance'. Hopeless. Hope he has more idea on the Snooks pitch. A tough competitor maybe, but he'll have to learn to play without that silly stick if he is to have any chance.

That's a bit better, Tiger. He's found the Snooks pitch and he's trying out his lateral movements.Unfortu-Nately Scures, no one is going to play with him while he brandishes that weapon.Aaaaahhhh. Snooks! The ultimate in non-competitive sports. Play the game with the comforting feeling that everyone wins and we all have a jolly good laugh.

That's better, Tiger.
Surprise package

These boys are this year's surprise package in Snooks. All they need to do now is:

1) take it a little less seriously
2) learn to laugh at the conclusion of each Snooks game and
3) stop exterminating their fellow players.

Yaw Mait practices his Snooks techniques while delivering another of his tiresome Shaving Stories. This was the one about excising his complete right ear with a nasty, cheap disposable. Not that old chestnut again, Yaw Mait!

Spitting Into South Harrow

The EGGS Team



These boys are the just the best! The EGGS team have years of experience, Olympic titles, World Championships and snorkel. Put your faith in EGGS to vanquish the young upstarts 'Northolt Swimerama' in this summer's grudge match for the Cuspidor Trophy at Aux Champs.



Fives

Discipuli picturam spectate! This is Nobby Bowls, U.K. Fives champion, in training. Shortly after this picture was taken, Nobby ripped all the ezras from the legs of this chair and pinged them around the walls. Awesome!

Nobby is to sport what hurfenflurfi is to cheese and, in the words of the Bard, he makes those ezras dance like a plate of lemons.

Fortescue 'Fifteen' Nodlese

Don't just stand there, laddee!
Get your pads on!
Eat With The Army!



Putting Things On Top Of Other Things

The Team from Space Patrol

The Team from Space Patrol narrowly won last year's thrilling contest against Legson Kayira's crack Malawi Warm Trifle side. Who will bet against them this year? Gamma rays on! Yobba rays on!

Pictured below - a scene from the World Inter-Toto SuperLeague Vase Mondial Charity Trophy Cup. This was the moment when a 'Golden Put' deep into extra time handed victory to Space Patrol thus preventing the final going to the dreaded Penalty Put Out.
