PRESEASON TRAINING ABANDONED

Pre-season training at the Woodside Warriors sports research institute has been abandoned after star batter Greenwood was crocked as his glass back was exposed.

"The regime was too tough", said Greenwood, pictured left, "I just couldn't take it.." he went on limply.

Chief trainer Jim Stead commented " I think we'll just do the usual this year, you know the 10 mins in the bar before the first match. We'll shut the institute (on Thackley Old Road, Shipley) to all but the toughest such as me and Steve."

He added, " We don't exactly need it, I mean we rarely have fitness issues or injuries (excepting torn hamstrings, broken legs and dislocated shoulders".
