November 21, 2015
The Tokyo Wombats Cricket Club held its annual Awards Presentation Night for the 2015 season on November 21 at the Two Dogs Taproom in Roppongi. A solid turnout of just over 20 members ensured that it was a lively affair with many a craft beer drunk! The highlights and lowlights of the year were rehashed in poetic fashion as the various awards were dished out…. Vice President Jamie Payne put together his first-ever Golden Wombats PowerPoint presentation to track the tallying of votes from each game over the course of the season. The night climaxed in the presenting of the coveted Golden Thong Award, before the inebriated marsupial gathering left the building and stumbled away into the depths of Roppongi-proper.
