A big thanks to Pat Warner from Paisley. Pat hardly needs any introduction to those present tonight, as in the few short years since she moved here from the deepest South of England to be nearer 'her boys', she has been a near permanent fixture at the rink in recent times.

She has been a true friend to The Pirates many times over since she returned to Paisley, and more than one management team has had significant cause to thank her for her regular contributions to The Pirates cause.

It will come as a great surprise to no-one at all that she is The Man Of The Match Sponsor, such has been her support in recent times and you can be sure she will not need any directions to find her way to the timekeepers bench at the end of tonight's match, such has been the regularity of that support.

Well done Pat, and thank you once again [courtesy of match programme 21 /12 02]
