Brandon Steele returns the favour

Brandon Steele, formerly of the Timberjacks: 180 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. He is the one the young players actually ask, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after ten seasons: 10,050 yards, sixty-three scores. There was a 1,548-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in four buildings.

Belfast, Northern Ireland is where he is from. He is thirty-one. The route here: a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go.

The club is 5-4. Barney Grit is in year nineteen of it. There is one year left on the deal.

One more thing: he answers every question in exactly one sentence.
