It is fast
becoming a McCarthy Industries tradition to recover from the
exuberance of New Years Eve drinking by having a pint on New Years
Day while watching some football. With the only game in Sussex this
year being at Eastbourne, it meant quite a treck for McCarthy and
Kane to view some soccerball. Thankfully, with Tom McCarthy a
willing driver, it was off to the Sunshine Coast we went for the
Blue Square Premier derby between Eastbourne Borough and Crawley
Town

Despite
being hungover and subsequently not hungry, McCarthy and Kane both make
the classic mistake of ordering food

Mowbray is not only Celtic manager, but also the owner of a popular
Eastbourne hotel

bush in an attempt to achieve this photo

The
Eastbourne mascot is an oversized novelty owl

Quite
why the decision was taken to have such a big owl is anyones guess
The
infamous "son", who hit his own father during a Crocs on Tour
outing to Luton back in 2005, was present at the game

chap would surely incur some sort of knee disease in later life with
this standing pose
The
game ticks away in quite poor fashion

stroll to the 2-0 victory, leaving Eastbourne still looking for their
first win since September in the league
