Dont mess with Enmore
When I was at South Strathfield High School, there was one school I hated playing in the Rugby League pool we were in for one of those high school tournaments, Enmore High School.
Back in the day, the boys that they bred at Enmore (I think they were predominantly of Greek or Italian heritage) were just seriously rough. It wasn’t so much a fear of what they were doing to me, but my little bro’s on the team (including me) were just getting a hammering.
If I recall correctly, we played against Enmore in one League game and another Union game. The boys were rough, and they could do the ‘dirty’ without flinching.
Saturday night and O4 made some salad for an eat that ended up being at the Enmore Catholic Parish(?) off Princess Highway. You don’t mess with the Tongans at Enmore Parish either.
Eating at Tonga events generally works in at least 3 sets. With Sunday’s context, the meal was a buffet so the 1st set was for the invited guests to get up and get some stuffing, the 2nd set is when those who were involved with preparing the food (including the boys outside) come to the table and get their feed. The 3rd set is supposed to be at the very end of the program when everyone has had their fill and the cleaning up process involves people taking food for their own consumption, on their own time, at their own homes.
Well, with Enmore there’s not the standard pause between Set 2 and Set 3, so if you’re new to the gathering, watch out or you might get trampled by the horde as they scramble for the table.
A great feast was had by all, who knows how many dishes were on the table but you can be assured there wasn’t anything left on the table after the 3rd Set was in motion.
Remember, beware the Enmore mob (and I thought Petersham was bad to the bone 8-)
