As usual the Chevron rumour mill is churning away, producing mountains of gossipy flavoured flour. This time around, the face on the packet is one William Cornelius.
Inside sources who wish to remain anonymous have reported sightings of the baby faced wonder at an international indoor tournament. To compound matters it has been suggested that he may have been wearing purple.

Chevron historian William Smythe has said that Cornelius, who goes under the pseudonym of Caesar, may get away with this indiscretion. "The memories of the Druids is fading all the time." Smythe said with a smile. "As more and more young players enter the sport with the druids dead and buried in domestic competitions, people just don’t know who they were anymore. If they ask though, we set them straight." The older Chevron players, some of which still have stains of purple in their blood, are not surprised that Caesar has kept this to himself. Stu Mitchell, on hearing the news said "It’s only a mistake you make once in your life. But for the lad to do it playing indoors as well. I’m ashamed"
Ex international indoor Ultimate participant and purple shirt wearer Dave Barnard, when asked about Caesars behaviour said "I think you have to take into account his age, I was only 18 when I went to Copenhagen in Sweden to play indoors with the Druids, Caesar is but a small child." Caesar, winner of Chevron Action Flash Baby of the Year award, will have to hope that memories of the Druids reputation has faded enough to minimise the ridicule he could face the next time he turns up to a Chevron event.
