Drunks come runner up and farewell our greatest french canadian Julian Vaughn

Big Thanks to Julian for organising the tournament today! This being your last week in Perth you will be missed greatly by the Mighty Drunks

After 5 straight games the drunks came into the final playoff tired and still very hung over. Coming up against some tough competition with a couple of fill ins (parker and robbo) we pushed though to make it to the final playoffs against the Manning man childs who absolutely pumped us. The drunks were down and out for the count.

All in all it was a great day and days like today is the reason why this is the greatest league in Perth. Great people and great hockey.

FYI we are hurting physically and emotionally.

Also thanks to Jean-luc assisting with coordinating

MIGHTY DRUNKS FINALS RUN

After a tremendous second season the drunks had started their debut finals run with a surprising win against Swan View Draught. With the drunks running there almost full squad and in the 37 degree heat this was possibly the edge the drunks needed to get over the line. Lucky for the 2 goals win, which possibly could have been only 1 goal with a controversial kicked puck into goal.

The following Friday was against K-Town Cooks with our captain Fraser Read out of the mix we knew if was going to tough, and it was! K-Town was by far the toughest team we have played. With blokes on quads and turbs scoring goals skating backwards, we were in for it. Coming into the 3rd period 3-10 the drunks had a last minute sprint and finished the game 7-11 and thus ending the drunks finals run.

The drunks have come a long way from a good few not even been able to skate at the beginning of 2016a. They are all pumped for 2017a

QUATER FINALS HOCKEY!!!

Friday 6pm The Marmion Mighty Drunks take on the K-Town Cooks at Gibbney Reserve Maylands for a top 8 spot on the Road to the Canley Cup!! See you all there! (except Fraser Read who will be in Bali...I mean what sort of team Captain goes to Bali in the middle of a Canley Cup finals campaign anyways?)

Marmion Mighty Drunks defeat Swan View Draught!! Great game!

Page hasn't been too active lately. But Drunks capped off the 2016b season today with a tight 1 goal win against Nedlands.

The win takes their record up to 9-3 on the season. Look for the drunks to be making their first finals appearance next weekend. Will be post details when they are released.

Early Friday morning training session.

In 1998 the Saffrons toured Sri Lanka in a bid bring more interest to the game; it was during this time when Abel's culinary skills would earn him the nick name "Curry King" as he was not only a vital line in defence he was also the teams head chef.

He toured Australia for many years working at an arrange of fast food establishments as a delivery driver in his auto rickshaw he brought over from India and eventually save up enough money to start his own business. Abel currently resides in Perth and has a food van "The Golden Papadum " it was there he met a intoxicated customer; the Marmion Mighty Drunks Captain F.Reid who remembered him from when the West Fargo Kimonos played the Calgary Woodpecker in an exhibition match and invited Able to join the franchise.
