MATCH REPORT

Harrisdale Pour Goes Three For Three And A Bloke In A Singlet Has Taken The Scorecard Personally, Sleeves Surgically Removed For The Occasion

On The Boom

HARRISDALE, WA — "Let's go, three for three, baby." That is the final scoreline as called in the video from the Harrisdale pour on 28 October, and nobody on the sand has been brave enough to ask three of what.

The call came off a job that had the whole supply chain turn up in one frame. Limecrete Perth sent the mud, SGP Concrete Pumping pushed it, Safari Group Australia covered the materials and Hyro looked after the hydration. @alsoknownas.media was there to film every second, which explains why one bloke in a black cap and a white singlet was throwing shapes at the horizon like a man warming up for a title fight in a sandpit.

He had the arm out, the jaw set and the tattoos in full sun, in front of a half-built house with nothing but red jerry cans and a pile of dirt for an audience. Nobody has confirmed what the shadow-boxing was for. The trade has decided it was the third pour and the other two were just sparring.

A linehand watching the footage said the real winner was the crew list, six names deep, all of them pretending the singlet bloke wasn't the main event. They know he is. So does the singlet.

Three for three. Zero for shirts.
