Sun, Rugby, Tries and an Upstart Englishman! Game Report March 10th 2013 Legends/Evergreens/VV versus The Twits
Excellent day of rugby once again. It was our turn to help the Legends in their fixture and we certainly turned up en force. Also helping out with numbers were some of the Valley Vintage players - good to see them again!
At the very beginning we looked like we were going to get a real shelllacking from the Burnaby boys. They ran in a couple of tries early in the first half and our Barbarian mix of Everythings was looking out of sorts.
In a very lively open game everything turned around when Barry McGrill, who obviously has not read the over 40's rugby manual, chased down a Burnaby break-away (what was he thinking?) and prevented a certain try. Who does that?????
What followed was shameless opportunistic behaviour from, who else, a Pommie. Yes, Mark Ward , AKA Mr. Flash, ran in two tries. One, a very jinking run (copying Tommy O', of course) and the other a take from an up-and-under and ignoring all calls to pass, pass, pass, pass...you bastard!!! - just ran in his second try of the game. Selfish, shameless, senseless!
Mike "Thriller" Jackson barged over for another well earned Everythings try and one of the VV guys completed the try scoring for us.
Special mention to the pack in particular, Dave A, Derek P and Barry C for great hussle. JT at stand-in/stand-off, Pete at outside centre and yes "No Frills -McGrill" on the wing!! Sonny did really well after showing up late, had a mazy run up the middle with little clue where he was going - like us all!!
Dick Woldring and Garry Greer went over to help out the Twits - bastards!!
On the sidelines, we had Don Panton, John McGilvarry, Tony Gilllis, a few ne're-do-wells from the Scribes and the lonely figure of Brett rubbing his crotch, I mean groin, looking for JR.
Dick of the Day was a gimme. Ronnie not only didn't make the game but also insisted on telling Sonny that it was to be played in Connaught park.
Ronnie, you're going to have to give Brett's groin a message on Wednesday night!! Sorry JR.
