EXCLUSIVE: Brockwell’s Scottish Correspondant to return home

Peripatetic 49er Graeme Elliott has today announced publicly he is quitting Scotland to be closer to his team-mates. In an exclusive interview he scotched rumours of him sleeping with a colleague’s girlfriend and chose to focus on what he hopes will be a career defining summer with Brockwell.

“That affair shit is a load of bollocks,” Elliott said “I wouldn’t have touched her with yours, let alone knock her up – do you think I’m made of money?”.

“Now’s a time to focus on my cricket, OK. I’m fully committed to Brockwell and moving to London is in no way connected to my alleged deportation” he continued.

“The club took a chance on me last year, despite only playing one warm-up match. But they resurrected my fortunes in France and it seemed only right I should repay that faith in me by returning home to commit my future to the club and my team-mates. 2010 is gonna be the 49ers year”

It’s understood that Brockwell Captain, Gordon ‘Stumpy’ Cherrington, is delighted with the move and looking forward to getting the team back into the nets soon. “I’m delighted with the move”, he said, by way of confirmation, “and I’m looking forward to getting the team in the nets soon.”
