15/16 Season preview Part 5... with Krish Gunatunga

Yet another former 3s Captain, and current Chairman up next. He's played 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s. Basically he's a set of pads for hire, but with power. Let's be honest though, given the choice, he'd be playing 3s hockey every week.

So Goalman is Captain for the 15/16 season. Should we be scared?
We should be scared of failure to order Vodka Tonics when buying a round and wearing the wrong kit.

As a former captain yourself, any advice?
Delegate as much as you can. Man manage Gary Allen

Any predictions for the new season?
We'll be seeing a lot more of Putney this year.

Any personal goals or targets?
More cleansheets than a monastery dorm.

Best moment / match of last season?
End of Season celebrations

...and the worst?
The morning after

3s player to look out for this season?
Buckle's tach, it had magic powers, much missed player last season, the most popular member of the squad.

When you're playing games for the 2s this season, will you be imagining playing for the 3s instead?
No comment... keeping is keeping, same shit different day. OK maybe yes, I'll miss the majesty of the Ted/Bevan/Dom speed kings

As a 'keeper you're likely to argue that they are people too... But aren't you really just targets?
Not with our lot, the safest place is in between the posts.

If you had to, which other team / club would you go on a social with and where?
The Dutch Ladies Hockey team. Was I meant to pause before answering? Otherwise where ever Maddie Hinch is...

There are a number 'loose cannons' in the 3s squad. If everyone was given £1million, who would spend it in the most interesting way?
Gary Allen on magic beans.

If the 3s were a food, what would they be?
Ghost Chilli, only a select few can handle it, others will never be able to sit again.

and if we were a boxer, what would our walkout music be?
Another Level - Freak Me.... things are going to get awkward in the ring.

Who would you say looks more like Joe Oddy: Dom Beales, James Morris or Joe Oddy?
Are they different people? Two words, Belgravia Centre.

Ted Szuman is given a hunting rifle and a flat cap in the forest. What kill does he come back with?
OGs

You see #GaryAllen sporting an Epsom HC shirt while out shopping with the Mrs. How do you punish him post-match on Saturday?
Nothing, at first, the punishment will be harsh but not when he expects it.... plus it shouldn't be published online, could be brought up in court at a later date.

Hockey, Cricket, Horses and Waitrose seem to go hand-in-hand. Using evidence to back up your arguement, how posh are you on a scale of 1-10? (10 being posh, and 1 being any character from TOWIE)
A solid 8. I play in goal (-1), love cricket (+1), have ridden in the past and have the occasional Waitrose visit but only in Cheam. I own a pair of Hunters Wellies and a Barbour jacket and introduced the Tweed Jackets to the 3s. But I only use two ply toilet roll.

What tattoo should Shashi get for losing the bet on our unbeaten season?
His return address.

and finally... Any words of advice for opposing players reading this page?
Still not to late to join the winning team.
