The cup of youth.

Tony was tidying his room. He came out with a box of assorted trophies. Football, pool, darts, etc.
He took out a few to show me.

Tony: Football one 'ere look!

'Runners up - youth division - 89/90'

Me: Runner up? Not bad....but second place is the first loser Tone (tongue in cheek)
Tony: Difficult league that wuz.

...and then I did the maths..

Me: Wait a minute! Youth league 1989?
Tony: Yeah.
Me: But you were 27 in 1989 Tone. That's not youth! Professional players are considering retirement at that age!
Tony: ....yer....well, there wuz some big mateys in some of those teams...
