League campaign!
Well lads, our 1st league game of the season and
a very disappointing loss, to what was in the
end, a very beatable Coalville.
Lets ensure we recored a "W" against South
Leicester 3rds this weekend in the league and get
our campaign back on track!
Can't wait!!!
Damo.

Positives
Although it was a bitch that we lost the game on
Saturday, I feel there are quite a few positives
to be taken out of the game firstly Paul Scoring
his first try for the 3's was fantastic, I think
every one of the forwards played well it was great
to have Iain back for the set pieces and Pikey
back in the scrum. To push Coalville around like
that in the scrums was fantastic ,their coach said
to me after the game that they felt they couldnt
live with us at the breakdown. Tref scored another
lovely try when the ball was shipped from a solid
maul and once he launched himself into the air no
one was going to stop him crossing the line, so
from the forwards performance at Southam we had
obviously learnt our lessons. However it has to be
said they had a very useful set of backs and
although we had Scud and Whitters many of the
other backs had not been use too league rugby but
this can only be good for the future as these are
the guys that need the experience or they will
never progress ! so ok perhaps not a magic
performance on the whole but good work in progress
for the future. This week we will no doubt have a
more familiar backs line up so if the forwards can
manage to win set piece ball without Iain for the
week I think we will do well.

Same commitment forwards please
The forwards simply need to adopt the same
attitute, work ethic and commitment against
South and I am sure we will be on our way to a
W' like the skipper asks. I like Jase struggle
to question any of the forwards on Saturday, if
like me you are only just getting over the bumps
and bruises. That's a cracking comment from the
Coalville coach and he's right. Yes, Coalvile
were better all round and yes they thoroughly
deserved their win but considering that is our
best result against Coalville two's in 2 seasons
that says alot. So please take out the
positives, prepare for saturday, go out with the
same commitment and boys, we will do OK. Lets
hope we can get a similar team out and lets hope
that Damo isn't struggling trying to hold on to
lads and not having to give up many to the 2's.
We can all do our bit on this front by ensuring
your mates play so neither us or the 2's are
struggling for players.

Results
Loughborough 3rds. 16 v 21 Cosby
Market Bosworth 3rds. 14 v 24 Coalville
Leicester Lions 3rds. 5 v 5 South
Leicester 3rds.
Hinckley 3rds. 34 v 24 Leicester Forest
Some interesting results from the 1st round of
games. The biggest points difference is 10!
Certainly what this does tell us is this league
will again be challenging and teams will takes
points off each other. South will be a very
good outfit. The only advantage we have over
them is that we are used to playing this
standard. As a club, at 1st, 2nd team and
social level we continue to get well beat by
South so lets put the records straight at 3rd
team level. C'mon Damo's lovely boys!

Sorry
Sorry to all that witnessed my outburst in the
changing room. I was expressing my disappointment
that all of us had inside us, just i did not
control it.
Whitters i may have been wrong to grapple with
you in the changing room but i was pissed off you
chucked my bag on the floor.
I know its no excuse but a few of you know about
the battle i am currently going through to see my
daughter with my ex blowing hot or cold saying
when or that i cant see Imogen.
Today she made me choose between rugby and seeing
her which i choose rugby and got her to back down
a bit to. After the game i shot off to see imogen
i did not leave as a result of the outburst.
I really annoys me when we win good ball and we
do not use it.
It also annoys me when we dont read the game and
choose the right options.
often in the first half their was noone covering
the blindside of their rucks and these could have
been explioted. Even poor dicission making to
take the kick for touch and get the lineout at a
penalty when we don't have a hooker and cant win
our own throw. We had ample chance to take the
quick tap.
The other factor that got to me was the poor
standard of refereeing. This referee is not a
qualified Leicestershire referee and we may have
a case to replay the game. The fact we did not
have a front row briefing before the game and
when i was penalised for boring in he was very
wrong. He was so inconcisant on the Tackle / Ruck
area i personally got penalised twice on the line
and both resulted in tries for playing the ball
in a ruck when nothing was formed.

the facts
lets get the facts right. No idea how your bag
got on the floor originally. I did not chuck
your bag on the floor until you shoved it in my
back. As you could easily see i was rushing off
to a meet three people who had travelled up from
liverpool to see me as i was going out for a
meal in Ashby (when do i rush off after a
game?).. I needed 1 min to put my shoes on so i
could go. I know your life is up the shitter at
the moment and i hope it gets better for you
matey and you sort it out.. It must be shitty
not seeing your kids but that is no reason to
act like a first class prick.
Anyway had a great night out in Ashby and my
son's christening was brilliant on Sunday which
really made up for a disappointing saturday. I
can't recall any other game where everything was
knocked on. We shot ourselves in the foot at
every chance.. This must be the third game this
season we could have should have won.. The one
thing we used to rely on was bosy spirit its
made the 3rd's so enjoyable to play.. As for
Tom's point about the ref's is a good one, some
of them this year have been poor but we must
learn to carry on as these ref's never change
their minds and all we do by challenging them is
to get them on our backs.
Its a funny old game anyway and there is always
next week. Lets get back to winning ways next
saturday. Thanks jase/damo it was appreciated

Whitters and Friends??
I didn't think teachers had any friends....are
you sure they wern't a couple of scally school
kids from the streets of Anfield?? Oh i miss the
changing room banter....where's Vickers these
days...has he founda bird or just turner gay as
we all thought he was really. Hope you win soon
boys!

Vet's Game
Tref Whitts is now an eligible Vet ! and what a
game to get back to winning ways with a massive
third team contingent Myself, Cutters ,Ian , Trev
, Tom, Whitters , Mike Moore, and Scud, Nick
Massey, Tim and Dean giving support from the
touchline. We won 33-0 to a very capable Old Newts
vets side. It was a fantastic team performance
forwards and backs highlight of the game was
Whitters outrageous last try. Lowlight of the
game, after a great ofload in contact from ian my
try being disallowed for not being grounded!!
Rubish ! Look forward to Saturday, Whitters get
some new contact lenses you were colliding with
your own team left right and centre on saturday !!

Great news / Results
Sounds magic. Well done boys. How about anyone
else. Was there a 2's game?
I also see all the other results were very close
in the last round of league games. There will
be nothing in this league!
|
No 2nds
There was no 2nds game as bev couldnt get enough
players!!! He could only get 13 players and even
the 1st team struggled with numbers.
|
Joking!
No way, that was without a 3rd's /social teams
not playing! Oh dear!
|
Indeed
Yep it is totally shocking. cant believe it. We
need to recruit more players within the club and
also go training more as 3rd team members are down
2 2-3 players a night. Where has the 3rd team
spirit gone where we train once a week?????
