winter solstice a game of two halves
icy afternoon
the defensive line
set
roof closed
inside and outside
magpies calling
winter’s hold Pendlebury wriggles free
cold Saturday
each quarter begins
in great haste
cold comfort
the crowd rides
Cloke’s bump
dreary day
another kick
to no advantage
stoking the fire
Cloke’s fifth closes out
the win
