Anyone happening into their
headquarters at the Market street

morning would have looked in
vain for the knobby-muscled

thered faces with eyes narrow

This might have been a gather

men returning to school after
holidays.
Chattering and laughing they
made for the flared skirted pas

uniforms. Each team has a diff
ferent color for these uniforms
which are fashioned with tights
under the short skirts.

who come to our games come

coming because they are inter
