Raz
Purple Rain
an amazing story writer.Raz was recruited this season from the Tindoo Bridge team which plays in the Langendria FL. Tindoo Bridge have been mostly also-rans over the the years down in the south-west. They did win a couple of flags on the trot back in (SFA-equivalent) Seasons 24 & 25, but the last 3 seasons they were ousted in first semi-finals every time. It's not a big league these days, though reasonably strong. The combined Kiranissa-McKenney team tend to hold the ladder up most seasons in 5th and last place, with Tindoo Bridge being a cut above them yet unable to break higher than 4th.
The Langendria league is a renaming of the old Tindoo league, which was gutted when two of its strongest teams, the Tindoo Barracudas and the Shawmindo team each were promoted to the new Southern & Outer Football Union competition. Tindoo Bridge picked up wooden spoons in Seasons 27, 28, 31 & 34. Recently they've solidified since the league was rationalised a little. There was actually talk of the town producing a 6th team for the league but unfortunately recent slow times in the city caused the Sweet FA to embark on substantial recruiting drives nationwide, and the resultant player losses to the big smoke (eg Raz ) have caused the expansion of the Langendria league to be put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Tindoo Bridge shares the main Tindoo Oval with the Sharks team who are now the town rivals with Bridge since the Barracudas left. Down the road, the Tanoca team (a merger of Lower Tanoca and Tanoca Valley) have been playing off in grand finals without success. But it's still the games v Tindoo Bridge which draw the biggest crowds to Sharks matches.
As far the Tindoo Bridge FC details, I don't yet have the colours for this team - the only photos I found were black and white and the designs seemed to change a bit. Maybe someone who played both junior and senior football down at the Bridge can fill us in. (that's a call to action btw)
The nickname, however, I do know. And I'm sure it will come as a surprise to none, that Raz ' original team would be known as the Ramblers.
only the team names and locations have been changed to protect the guilty LOL
