Gala Event
As the host Tom McGeehan introduces the fans to what the event is all about, a huge screen comes on with a video of The Java Kings “The sky’s the limit” on the video we see Graham Barrett knock down a run, Dean Keigher punching his fist taking a wicket…the screen fades out
TM: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the 2007 Kings Gala night as we hand over prizes to the players who best performed in each category, the night also won’t be without some great entertainment as we have music entertainment and also the release of The Java King’s new official theme song performed live by Sound of a Revolution “C’mon let’s go” but for now let’s go back to the studio in Randburg with Tony
TN: Thanks Tom, a very special night forget about losing the leagues or not doing as well as hoped for but Clive it wasn’t a horrific season?
CR: Not at all Tony, we saw some young talent coming through and even some of the older players played some good cricket, Halford is an example that age really shouldn’t matter; you are as old as you think you are.
TN: I hear that we are about to go back live to the event…
TM: Welcome back to the 2007 Kings Gala night, please welcome on stage the President of Java Kings Shev
Shev: Thank you very much Tony and thank you ladies and gentlemen. It has been a rough year but you stuck it out with us, you took the blows with us. We have had things to cheer about and we had things that made us sad, we all are still sad about the sudden death of long serving member John Gates, but tonight’s event is about praising those who did well and as many of the players won’t receive prizes I want to tell them that not to feel down on yourself but to say next season I will be doing better. The Java Kings wouldn’t be what we are today if it wasn’t for every player bringing their side and the times I have been with the team at training or social events all of the players did what they were asked of and that always brings a smile on the face, ladies and gentlemen may next year be a season that we all will enjoy, thank you
TM: Shev the President of the club, now our first category will be that of the FC Bowler of the year, a lot of new faces were in it and also a lot old faces but the award for the best FC Bowler goes to Bernard Townley
*Townley is a youth product of The Java Kings and receives a great prize for earning best FC bowler of 2007*
TM: Congratulations Townley our second give-away is the FC Batsman, please note that even players who were transferred also qualify so with further a due Sean Pedro
*Sean Pedro terminated his contract due to family commitments, the English player knocked an amazing 1359 runs in his allotted eight games*
TM: as we take a few moments to change the scene of the stage to OD from FC, I’m going to have a brief chat with Jeffey Bailey the coach
TM: Jeffey hard season or what?
JB: Yes, it was hard but not too hard we had chances of finishing better but we can’t change history that is how the cookie crumbles they say.
TM: What is in store for the team next season?
JB: Well the players will enjoy a few days off, but after that it’s back to the drawing boards and back to full on training.
TM: Will we see any new faces or any outgoing players?
JB: That is a bit early to answer mate, we will have to wait and see.
TM: Are The Kings going to be active in any other leagues for example the PC league?
JB: Mate, I’d like to see this team be in a Sunday league but it’s a lot more complicated than that we are a professional outfit and I’m afraid the PC organizers don’t fit our regime take nothing away from the multi-talented teams playing in there but a lot of bad blood has been directed at us and also the way the leagues in there are being handled is appalling to say the least.
TM: So no new leagues?
JB: I never said that, we are in talks with a new sporting community called Msports that will see eight teams be drafted in a league on an official website broadcast.
TM: thanks for the talk…
TM: Ladies and gentlemen let’s get back to the show and also with our third prize, this is for OD Bowler of the year…Dean Keigher
*Mr.Keigher took no more than 48 wickets this season with a good 7/26*
TM: Now for the 2007 best Batsman in the OD division…David Tolley
*This was a close call between David and Graham but in the end Tolley nudged Barrett by 2 points to claim the trophy*
TM: it’s a special honour to play for the Kings club but it’s every rookies dream to be chosen as rookie of the year, here were a lot of players sticking their hand up for this but only one could take it and he is …Sarath Bastianpillai
*Sarath also now is captain of the Kings after Tolley turned down the offer of being captain, Pillai has done the team and also the coach proud.
TM: And now the eyes turn to what we all have waited for the 2007 MVP, four players were nominated they are Graham Barrett, David Tolley, Sarath Bastianpillai and Dean Keigher but it was David Tolley who beat Barrett yet again to claim the MVP award.
TM: We are at the end of what has been a truly memorable season we hope to see you follow The Kings journey to stardom and hope to see you back next time around and remember the sky’s the limit
*A commercial comes up and is soon followed by the live performance of Sound of a Revolution, the commentary at studio can be heard*
TN: What a show, good bye for now.

The JK Convention
Four of the players and coach visited The Cricket Dome where they would receive their new official kit for the next season for both the OD and FC games. But the day wasn’t all that dull after all as they had company in Tomahawks
PL: What is this? The comic convention Ha-ha-ha look at you freaks.
GB: Oh Hi Cheesy didn’t know Nazi camp ended so early…
PL: Oh ha-ha very funny but let me tell you this Batty you and your friends should quit now and save yourself the embarrassment of being embarrassed yet again.
GB: We will take our chances…
PL: Yeah I know you will
GB: That is what I just said
PL: I know that is what you just said
GB: Okay…
PL: Touché
GB: Please we came here to this convention to get our new kit launched I am sure you also have a kit you want to launch?
PL: Yeah we do, and our kit looks way better than yours, I can’t understand how The Java Kings can exist, we are worth four million dollars, you aren’t even worth four. We have share holders you don’t even have cup holders.
GB: Why would we need cup holders?
PL: Never mind fact of the matter is that Tomahawks is the stepping stone of cricket your club is a skid mark on the underwear of society
GB: C’mon guys let go
A very disgruntled Bailey told his guys not to be taken in to these childish acts of other teams, as the night preceded The Kings new kit was launched
OD – Blue and silver (Adidas and Pepsi)
FC – White with three black stripes (Adidas and Pepsi)
Pictures will be released shortly of the new kits but under strict policy and set of laws by Pepsi and Adidas along with The Java Kings CC pictures may only be released after the team has played their first fixture in it Rachel Moore the designer told us why
“People are surely looking forward to see what kind of new jersey the players will be wearing but unfortunately we will have to wait, Adidas and Pepsi were very tentative of sponsoring us again because of the last jersey was announced and given to public two months prior to the start of the new season which led into counterfeit products been made of the product and been sold over the black-market which cost The Kings an estimated $1,120,402”

* A scene comes up with Graham Barrett sitting in a chair and talking to the camera*
?We got a lot of old people, young people, rich people and strange people but that is what makes up the beauty of living in this region?
*Collin Cliffe appears on the screen walking on the beach*
?I don?t live in Bloemfontein so when I?m done playing the year I come back to Balito my house is on the beach so it?s like I?m at home and on holiday at the same time?
*David Tolley appears*
?What people don?t know is that me and Graham have been friends since sixth grade, we?ve been in a lot of punk rock bands and stuff but we always had a spot for cricket, I remember I was sitting with Collin one day, we were thinking about starting a cricket team cause our school coach told us we looked retarded and this new kid Graham popped up into my mind, so we went there and asked him if he would join and he said no?
*Graham Barrett reappears on the screen*
?If there are rumours running around that I was too good to join a cricket club that?s not true, my initial job was joining Red Dragons but I would have never thought of declining the Kings?
*Collin Cliffe stops and picks up an empty beer bottle?
?This reminds me of a lot stuff that we?ve done, we would go to the local bar when I still lived in Bloem. Nelson?s Bar it was kind of a crummy place but it really changed our lives, we?d be sitting there with a pen and paper trying to make up nets for training that we would use.?
*David Tolley*
?Can I just say that Cliff was the worst drawer, his nets looked like a fishing accident?
*Graham Barrett*
?So we needed more players and we got a bunch of guys who was willing to help and that was awesome we went on tour had no money I knew this one girl Stacy Smith actually she?s my girl friend right now so we would ask money from her we never paid her back?haha?
*Collin Cliffe*
?We all got packed into this small mini-van which David?s mom donated to him, it was very funny, our first game we came across this team that had players in that could make Hulk Hogan look like a midget but that didn?t scare me?
*David Tolley*
?If Collin is saying that he wasn?t scared of those players then it?s because he was still drunk... but yeah the van was a problem we had twelve guys in there and it was very uncomfortable?
*Graham Barrett*
?The van, we got girls but you know it?s not that cool saying hey want to go back to the van? Bus would have been better?
*More of the DVD is to come but you can purchase the full DVD set for $4.95 at your local digital store*

It starts over
The stride forward to become men
As the players benefited from the little break they had they little knew about the Battrick T20 league. On Sunday they will travel to England to play in a one off friendly against an English squad
The Press conference
?Good day to all who have made the trip to the Protea Hotel. Last season we tolerated disaster, happiness bust most of all alliance within the squad. As this season nears with my first authorized BT20 league under charge I would like to set forward an objective that we better the thirty-two games I had last season by winning no more than twenty-one games this season as suppose to the twenty of last season. Talks were held with the board and the following will take place within the squad over the next three to six weeks, only a list of fourteen players will be named for the upcoming One day and First Class fixtures those who do not make the cut will be either put on the transfer market or be relieved from their duties at the club, we found this hard to do last season as I entered the frame at the beginning of the OD league in the time that I did it, I not only strengthened the squad but I also helped to make the team more recognizable. The second topic was about announcing a permanent captain, David Tolley stepped down as captain and I applied Sarath Bastianpillai as caretaker but that will all change as of today Sarath Bastianpillai will be the official captain with David Tolley taking the vice-captain role. Tomorrow?s game we play against an opponent more stronger than us, we play against a team that has been here longer but I know that the team?s got it and they can win it, I have the squad that will play at The HP Pavilion against Street CC
1. Graham Barrett (w/k) (Bat)
2. Collin Cliffe (Bat)
3. Sarath Bastianpillai ? (Bat)
4. David Tolley (v/c) (Bat)
5. Jay O?donnel (Bat)
6. Paul Crow (Bat/Bowl)
7. Tristan Convery (Bat)
8. Kieran Mayo (Bat/Bowl)
9. Johnnie McMahon (Bowl)
10. Dean Keigher (Bowl)
11. Devilal Padyachi (Bowl)
I have my fullest of trust in the squad I have just named and I know that individually they would want to prove their worth in the squad. T20 is a funny game with only 20 overs to bat at you need to go from the word go and with the partnership that Barrett and Cliffe have made over the last season I just pity other teams in our way?

Hang on. You are only going to have 14 players and cut the rest. I don't know if that is such a good move.
Shevchenko
Club Cricketer
Did it last season and it worked out rather good, I'm not in it for the FC league so getting youth players to play a few games won't bother me and it also won't bother me finishing last in that group but I need to rid of the rubbish within the squad by doing that I created a lot stronger squad plus extra players in your team waisting time takes a lot out in your expenses so I can't carry extra weight around...But then again this could only be a ploy
