News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 9th August 2015

Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline – Sunday 9th August 2015

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:

1.       The Wiltshire athletics world has been rocked to its very foundations this week by allegations that a number of Bromham athletes have been taking drugs for many years, thus bringing into question their prowess at a number of County-wide events.  Bert “Slinger” Piglet, champion mangel-chucker of 1971 has been accused of taking mind-altering substances, including alcohol and tobacco.  And Doris “Big Girl” Piglet, ladies heavy-weight pumpkin-lifting title-holder of 1983, may have used more than carrot-juice to develop her amazing physique.

2.       And in a complete upset of the odds, the Bromham cricket team have finally won a match.  They bowled out Semington Casuals before tea, taking their last four wickets for just two runs, with an inspired spell of bowling.  Earlier their batsmen had made the awe-inspiring total of 79 all out, with star batsman Joe “Root” Piglet plundering 23 runs before knocking the ball into the long grass at the bottom of the field, and being given out for gratuitous slogging.

3.       For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
