I never knew winning an award was so easy. Just turn up to training in arthritis gloves that look like the fish skin you get on sushi and — bingo! — instant recognition.
Yes, this is the Oxford City annual awards at the St Aldates Tavern on Friday. Thanks to all who came, and particularly to Dan and Ruth for helping us celebrate in style.
But what is this talk of gloves? Well, people got a rare glimpse of my hand flesh as I picked up the ‘Michael Jackson / serial killer award’ in recognition of the gloves I’ve been wearing to training sessions. I’ve been trying to find a way to train while allowing my four bruised fingers to heal, and I’ve settled on the combo of arthritis gloves padded with support tape.
You could say this is a quack remedy (it is!) that hasn’t been endorsed by a medical doctor with, y’know, qualifications (it hasn’t!). But they do seem to be helping, so I won’t take them off yet. If that means more richly-deserved mockery then so be it.
However, I do want to set one thing straight: I don’t plan to use them for serial killing, or any other serious crime. They’d be useless. They’re fingerless.
There were also awards given out on Friday for people who did stuff like playing well and scoring goals. So, without further ado, here are our 2014 winners…

…and thanks to everyone for a great season. But I’ve got to dash: I’m off to plan my next fashion disaster. It’s never too early to think of the 2015 awards.
