TAPIBAW No 6 - Eastwood Town (England)
|
To the depths of
Nottinghamshire and Eastwood, the birthplace of the author DH
Lawrence.
There you'll find the Badgers of Eastwood Town resplendent in black
and white stripes, and managed by Newcastle fan Bryan Chambers. Our
photo shows club captain, Phil Gould, presumably on a windy
day...

TAPIBAW No 7 - Northallerton Town (England)
|
While most of the rest of
the nation was witnessing the final act in the pantomime "Keegan
& The International Beanstalk" a select band of idiots
including your correspondent were witnessing the real clash of the
titans - Northallerton 4 Whickham 1 in the Northern League
second division.
Despite the appalling conditions, the two teams served up a cracker to
reward the meagre crowd for their appearance.
Our photo shows Neil Duffy, who in his career at York City,
Ryhope CA and Willington could surely have learned how to iron his
shorts...

TAPIBAW No 8 - Rabat Ajax FC
(Malta)
|
Our man PJ (not the one
out of Ant and Dec though) has been busy again, and serves us up this
beauty from the holiday isle of Malta, where Ajax are nicknamed the
Magpies.
Rob Asciak and Keith Fenech are pictured practicing their defensive
wall duties, although Keith was absent from last week's 3-1 loss to
Birkirkara, as was the sponsors logo seemingly.... (we have been
informed that the tradition is to have the logo on the back or both
front and back if you're lucky).

TAPIBAW No 9 - Borlänge Kickers (Sweden)
|
Courtesy of toon fan Patrick Persson, we're honoured to host the 14
good men and true of amateur side Borlange Kickers.
The brief but meteoric success of the Kickers since their formation in 1999
has been temporarily halted, after their 5-0 humiliation by Momentum, but a
good win was recorded against Ambulansen, to put the lads in good heart
before the clash with the infamous Romme Bad Boys - we'll try and bring you
score/casualty updates from that game...

TAPIBAW No 10 - Atletico Mineiro (Brazil)
One of a number of clubs competing for
support in the Brazilian City of Belo Horizonte, Mineiro share a 110,000
stadium with rivals Cruzeiro. Our photo shows the lads before one such local
derby, adopting the familiar "team shot/knee injury" pose.
