Lastly, Scott Robinson presented “The Yellow Bucket” for the most amusing piece of fielding during the season. This year’s winner was Rob Bateman. Rob went for a catch which slipped through his hands and hit him in the mouth. He left the field with blood covering his chin. Our first-aider, Scott, suggested he went to Airedale. However, Rob asked if the bleeding had stopped and did he still have all his teeth? On receiving good news Rob was out the door, back onto the field and continued fielding!
