Wheezers net nil goals

AS one of the oldest in the Midweek newsroom, I was blissfully exempted from a "friendly" soccer match between our reporters and a shifty lot from the Oxford Mail newsroom.

The wheezy team from the Midweek offices stubbed out their fags, finished their cream cakes and ambled onto the field.

Goalie Chris Herbert, who said he didn't want to play because of a schoolday knee injury, said the final score was "about 25" to nil.

"I lost count after so many balls whistled past me," said Herbert, who had a bad case of muddy shorts.
