Victim: M. Whitaker
Perpetrator: M. Clear
Location: Artarmon Reserve Nets, Sunday 13/08/2006
Victim's comments: This one was a real stinger. The delivery snuck passed my front leg and got me on the side of my protection-less left knee. Although not the biggest bruise in terms of surface area, I think it gets good marks for colour and shape. If you look closely, it has traveled about 6 inches from point of impact to the top of my calf. |

Victim: J. Wong-See
Perpetrator: Andrew Price was batsmen but I prefer to blame Bucky and his pies
Location: Pigs vs NSCC - B2 Grade.
Victim's comments: Victims Comments: The bruise typifies the softness of the individual. The call was made within an hour of being hit while fielding in the point reigon that this would be a candidate for BOTY. By Monday morning I had concerns that the bruise which I had hoped for was not going to eventuate - there was only a slighy purplish tinge around the area of impact. But thank God by the end of Tuesday, a large formation of clotted blood enveloped the ankle reigon. By COB Wednesday, there was a solid rectangle measuring 10cm x 4.5cm of pure dark purple joy. This has well exceeded my expectations and a worthy contribution to BOTY. |
