BritBoy MacJudas Broc!

In another intriguing twist, Brian McDevitt has joined Broccoli Ultimate from Johnny Chimpo. Having spent 2 seasons in London playing for Clapham, dominating everyone they came across (apart from the Swedes, obviously) Brian has returned to his native land and will now join up with his captain from WUGC 2004, Mark Earley and numerous teammates from EUC 2003.

For others on the Broccoli team, playing with BritBoy will be a new experience. Fiona MacDonald has been quoted as saying "This is the best day of my life". Eoin Duggan on the other hand remarked "Rumour has it that he's well past his best. He'll have to prove himself before making it into our Iron Man 7".

It goes without saying that this further fuels the rivalry that has developed between Broccoli and Johnny Chimpo. Their meeting in the Dublin Winter League is sure to be a tight and exciting affair. Alan Doyle, Chimpo captain, has declared that he is glad to be rid of such an unreliable player and that his influence was never anything but negative in the dressing room. "His P45 is in the post" were Doyle's closing comments.

Despite the mixed feelings in both camps, this journalist is eagerly awaiting McDevitt's dayboo and hopes that he can fulfill on his potential. He has been known to talk the talk and it remains to be seen if he can walk the walk before his prime years leave him. His new employer will be seeking just reward for the hefty transfer fee forked out and his having broken their wage structure to accommodate this prima donna, success will be demanded. Whether McDevitt can handle that pressure remains to be seen.
