Getting in the zone for Dad Sports Day
Making stuff up about football trials. Holding the record for the 30ft dash to the bar before last orders.
Arm wrestling a Bulgarian trucker for free shots in a bar at a stag do nobody wanted to go to and everyone regrets.
“There are certain sporting moments that we Dads excel in – you just won’t see them at Sports Day.”
But look, when that all comes around, we can’t help but think of our own fleeting moments of athletic excellence.
We just “did it differently back then”. So while we’re proud of our offspring, we reckon that if they swapped out the three-legged race for the One Guinness After Work (Promise) Championships, it’s a whole new gravy, baby.

Meanwhile, this is what we chaps think a real Sports Day for real men / has-beens should look like:
1. The Cinnamon Challenge
Gather men.
Stand them next to each other.
Give them cinnamon.
The last one to die, wins.

2. Running with rocks underwater
This will work better at one of those private schools with unreal facilities, or somewhere near a coastline. But it’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
Potentially an insurance minefield, though.

3. Gentlemen’s cricket
Nothing screams summer like the sweet sound of leather on willow. And when it’s accompanied by the cries of wronged children, it’s even sweeter.
Petition your school for the inclusion of Dad’s swatting their kids’ pathetic underarm deliveries over nearby trees TODAY.
