If ever the multiple talents of the Walsall Health crew were in doubt, after Thursday’s mid-season meal, the doubts are surely no more.

No fewer than THREE of the attendees at Mad O’Rourke’s Pie Factory in Tipton took on the infamous Desperate Dan Pie challenge.

Ian Chuck – awkward cropping.

Chris Hall, Andy Gorton and Ian Chuck saw off the challenge with aplomb, in The Iron Man’s case, even leaving room for dessert.

This was among the best attended of the social events this season, with Ian Chuck (see right) in particular enjoying himself.

Prior to the food and ale, some of The Elf stalwarts attempted something approaching calorie offsetting at the regular Thursday night nets session at Stumps in Tividale.

A great time was had by all, look out for news of the next gathering and thanks to Rob Hewlitt for organising!
