8am Kickoff Has Local Hungover Man Wondering If Return To Social Footy Was Worth It

A man has been overcome with deep regret for his actions after arriving at his 8am footy game with his head pounding.

29-year-old Keith Lugger reportedly put in a 6 hour stint at his local last night, seemingly unaware that his resilience to a hangover has not kept up with his age.

Normally, this kind of effort would write his Sunday off to a bed-rotting session of whatever show he was currently watching with air fryer nuggets and pies.

But with his recent decision to join his friends in their local C-grade rugby league team, he would be forced off his arse and onto the pitch for 80 gruelling minutes of hit ups and lacklustre block plays.

“When the boys told me first game’s an 8am kickoff, I honestly thought they were taking the piss”, Lugger commented while taking a shaky sip from his long black.

“I was just looking for a way to keep fit, have a bit of a laugh with my mates.”

“I can’t believe they’ve got us playing at the crack of dawn.”

Girlfriend and prominent driver of Lugger’s comeback to the sport he once was pretty decent at, Sadie Clark, claims she warned him of his inability to push through dusty mornings like he used to.

“I told him last night before he left to be home early and take it easy.”

“I had to drop him here for Christ’s sake!”

Coach Jim Roberts has confirmed Lugger will be starting on the bench following a vomit during warm-up.
