Oh! This is awkward. Would never have taken you for an arseh*le but true colours often shine through when the tarnish is rubbed off

…can I just put you on hold for a minute? Someone’s at the door…

* Greensleeves starts playing *

Haha, suckers!

Hi all, qricketing all-rounder Toner Bob here with the 10th running of the Le Grille-gym4life Award. I need the be quick as I’m not sure how long my colleagues will put up with hold music for.

The Le Grille-gym4life Award began as a fever dream from the mind of NaturalDisaster back in season 27 with the purpose of giving to those who wouldn’t normally be on the receiving end of anything like awards, or recognition, or any attention whatsoever. For this is the award given to the ungiveable. To quote from the eligibility criteria: “It's the award for people to both have a match thread posting average at least 25 per week and have received zero points from the beez voting community.”

It's named after two SFA posters of yore who were experts at talking into the void – Le Grille who went voteless in season 23 despite averaging more than 100 posts a week and gym4life who had zero votes in season 26 despite having an active season.

The inaugural winner was cooney in season 27, nobody was crap enough in season 28 to give it to, season 29 saw it shelved before the shelf fell the following season like a pinata, spreading joy across Sweet for each season since after some percussive encouragement. The winners from season 30 onwards have been Matt_352, Cap, Rioli8217, CatToTheFuture, Soggy2112, kickthething, dogs105 and finally Tadpole last season.

This is all well and good, but surely there's something in it for the winners apart from niche online infamy? Well sure there is, it wouldn't be a shonky online award without a shonky online trophy. And the winner of the Le Grille-gym4life Award picks up an absolute stonker - The Golden Shittruck!

Don’t know if the quality was up or the quantity was down, but only one person qualified in season 38 for the Le Grille-gym4life. Before I get to them though, honourable mentions need to go to three people on the Le Grille-gym4life Watch List for posting between 20-25 times a week on average without troubling the voters. They are _Mike_ (22.81 PPW), Elmer_Hauser (20.56) & p4p1 (20.31). Better luck next season!

But in the words of the seminal Hibernian sci-fi classic Highlander, there can be only one. Which is fortuitous because there was only one. And that one, with 44.94 posts per week, is Ophidian camel wrangler kenneyswarriors! Mazel tov kenney, here's your miniature novelty Golden Shittruck trophy!

Wonderful we won the season 37 premiership and the Golden Shit Truck trophy is now nicely secured in the Spotswood trophy cabinet as well. Congrats kenneyswarriors i knew all those camel pictures would reap the ultimate reward in the end.

Congrats to all the other OOBs who won awards as well. We might need to get an extension for that trophy cabinet i think at this stage.
