PROMOTION!!!! vs Cosby. Have your say!

what a game Had to be the first to write about this game!! what a cracker.. The forwards played out of their skins, it was kept tight but i knew things would be ok after 2 mins a pen stroked home from the 10 meter line!!. Simply great defence from all players and sharp attacks with Dom breaking the line regularly, Dan in support.. Scuddy tackled well at 10 and they had no answer to the backs.. Two great forward tries which were richly deserved. They never really put us under much pressure at all.. We could have scored another couple of tries as we had overlaps both times but not to worry. If you are like me i can't stop smiling great result.. I can't play against Loughborough so win boys and big for tref and the club.. Enjoy the weekend because i am going to best wishes whitters Posted by whitters -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ We did it what a scalp to take worth missing the start of the England game to delay the kick off for a offical ref as one of the teams would be wanting to replay it by now. We gained promotion well done but We now need to get the tag of Champions as coming second is not winning anything Lets seal it against Loughborough Latest League standings for the top 4 all played 13 games with one match to play. Market Bosworth 31 points +14 Coalville 29 points + 21 Cosby 27 +17 Loughborough 27 -7 Left to play Cosby v Leicester Forest Loughborough 3rds v Mkt. Bosworth 3rds Coalville v Lutterworth Shepshed v Hinckley 3rds Lutterworth are down but they could still beat Coalville which goes to show the quality of some of these teams I think the League is poor for them as they could not field a side against Shepshed at start of the season and had points deducted this was as a key club member died who was father to 2 players in this team. But Cosby messed our game about and did not get any deducted where is the justice in that. Shepshed were awarded the points for winning which has ment finishing above Lutterworth. Posted by Animal -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Well done lads Lads ..just a simple message (so you can all understand it)....well done...a cracking achievement! Plus a special mention to Tref - u've done us proud as captain this season Posted by Burton -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Well done lads! I'll second that! Well done lads, a monumentous achievment! It goes to show the quality and pride we take in our rugby, as well as enjoying it, which is the key! Well done Tref, you have lead us from the start! Lets go to Loughborough and finish this amazing season on top! Posted by Damo -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Ere Ere Agreed with Damo on that! Awsome game on Sat boys, practically lost my voice shoutin at you all!!! Our heads were there from the start, even with the 2 hour wait we still didnt lose it!! Proud of us all!!! Bring on Loughborough boys, the beers gonna taste so great!!!! Cheers Tref, I think the rest of the lads have said how we're all feeling!! Posted by Locky -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Quotes ... Can't believe the bbc have got quotes from the new england stand off on our game ... "When your forwards play like that it's easy for a 10. They were outstanding" ... even brian ashton has had his say - "That was a team performance, not a one- man band - and one of the best team performances I've seen in a long time," said Ashton.

What a Match What a Season !!!!
Well done Tref Bowen what a skip ! having been cruelly robbed of skippering the team in our last promotion season you've finally got there at the second attempt in a much much harder league what a year New baby and promotion you also get to put your arm around me for most of the match it doesnt get much better than that. What a game for the forwards to play probably there most comprehensive game of the season 1-8 played their hearts out and give Cosby the lesson on rolling mauls they gave us last season the engagement in the scrums was immense the whole game !! the backs were back to their sublime and with the addition of dan livesly must now be the envy of the league. everyone tackled hard and we got our rewards PROMOTION !!! thanks to all the walking wounded that supported us throughout the match I know it really spurred me on. definately up for a drink on the 29th Tom lets all make that a night to remember.

Get The pass outs stamped for the 29th as we need a good session to seal it with. Missed off from the Match Report on the home page Tref Inspirational Leader who led the way from the start and others followed. (even though he awrded my first try of the match to cutters)! this game was won by team spirit and doggedness (Vickers won't be happy he missed some Dogging)

The fun never stops........................
Efforts continued to be made to prevent history from being made with Bos 3's being the first 3rd team to reach the top league. Following on from the Cosby saga, I have now heard that Loughborough are stating that a game they had played against Shepshed earlier in the season (20 Oct - which they lost by two points, 29-31) is null and void due to the referee not turning up. Therefore, they are stating they have 2 match's to play, one against us and another against Shepshed! What is going on. The LRU website and results over the course of the season show the true league tables and if they change well............my thoughts on the game of Rugby and in Leicestershire especially will be changed forever. You can't start moving the goal posts now surely! The leagues seem to be now stating this game still has to be played. Why then did they include the result in the official tables and results as they have done since 20 Oct? Why didn't representatives of Loughborough complain about this result been included in the league tables back then! Why have they allowed it to go unoticed and uncorrected all season? This is a total SHAM! The integrity and credibility of all involved is being destroyed if this decision goes ahead. Whether we're involved in the fight directly or not, it still begs the big question how these things can be allowed to happen. These are my views and not the clubs as I am unsure whether they have been made aware of this yet. Dean passed this information onto me this morning and obviously been involved in the leagues himself he has to keep at arms length. I am tired and fed up of all of this. I really appreciate the efforts of everyone involved into arranging the leagues and the fixtures as it takes alot of time and effort, most unoticed but these episodes, The Cosby and Loughborough saga, I re- iterate do nothing whatsoever to assist in the integrity of the competition!

Disgraceful
Totaly agree Tref this is only now coming about as it will affect their chances of going up!!! Any way to us it should matter not as we must win the game anyway.. Try and get the best team possible out there and get the victory...This underhanded tactic needs investigation.. Sorry can not make the 29th as away but i thought the big night out was the 12th April after a home game.. beers in bos and some grub?? is that now not the case?
Posted by whitters


12 April / 17 May - Dates
I will certainly be trying to arrange something for that night mate. I will keep in touch and update the website with info. I hope the 17 May is good for everyone for the Presentation evening. It will be a real good night.

Tref wat ajoke this is all becoming. Thank god we didnt play saturday with their ref down the road lark. Shows how teams and clubs will go 2 any lengths 2 get wat they want. I feel very sorry for u and the whole team aswell. We have played every game to our best and now in 1 way or another we are being scrutinized for it. Wat a win on saturday boys wish i could of played more and not given any penalties away oops "sorry team" But it wasnt ment to be as the team picked itself and u all did just for it. I believe im jinxed with cosby anyway lads. The last 4 games we have played them ive only played 7mins in total. sum would say thats too much hahaha. But we smashed them around the park and cant wait for the next game! Bring it on.

Shepshed replayed already
Loughborough have alreay replayed the leauge game against Shepshed and won 46 nil Shepshed RFC 1st XV 0pts Loughborough RFC 3rd XV 46pts Loughborough 3rd team completed their second League double in as many weeks with a comprehensive demolition of local rivals Shepshed. Captain Joe McDonnell kept 12 of the starting fifteen that beat Coalville last week, and also welcomed some club players coming back from injury and having a run-out before next week's Easter Tour. The skipper himself was in fine form, rallying his troops with a speech that Eddie O'Sullivan would have been proud of. In fact, with Ireland capitulating at Twickenham E O'S would have no doubt have snatched Joe's words quicker than a Pikey lays dodgy tarmac... Loughborough's 46 points came courtesy of seven tries, four conversions and a drop-goal. (More on that later.) Man-of-the-match this week was a difficult one to call, with Dan Kirkwood, Craig Bowles and Kevin Clarke all contributing huge efforts to the cause. The scores came courtesy of wingers Jamie Hart and Aaron Brown (two apiece), outside-half Christopher Burbidge, scrum-half Andrew Price and number eight Nick Farnham. Fullback Leon Sullivan kicked four conversions, including two touchline corkers, and Burbidge realised a lifteime ambition by dropping a goal. I can retire a happy man. With the game being played on Shepshed's postage stamp pitch, space was at a premium and Boro' were keen to stay away from the touchlines. Scrum- half Andrew Price was bossing the breakdowns and was keen to show his range of grubber-passes, accurately hitting the bootlaces of every intended recipient. Several players complained after of a bad back, presumably from having to bend down so often. The home side, it has to be said, were understrength compared to the meeting in January and though they battled manfully they were simply overwhelmed by a Loughborough side high on confidence. Both sides struggled with a referee who took the word 'interpretation' to whole a new level. Bemused looks and groaning were the order of the day, but both sides managed to keep their moaning to a minimum, and far less than in the spiky atmosphere the last time the teams met. The try of the match was the one that never was, Nick Farnham collecting a pass in his 22 and running fully seventy yards, at first through three defenders and then bamboozling at least another six, proving that you are indeed "twice the player with the ball in two hands". Bowles was on hand to take a pass and supply Kev Clarke who was cut down inches short of the line. Very unlucky for Gizmo who deserved a score for all his hard work. Andrew 'Shopping Trolley' Thomas finally found his position, taking a turn at prop after ex Shepshed player Steve Hughes retired to the touchline to prepare for Luncheon Club duties. (The bowler hat has been dusted off and Clubman has promised no mercy.) Thomas was a relieved man to have survived thirty minutes of bending over, and could only mutter "Ooh, me back hurts" when asked how he felt. Radio Leicester were broadcasting live from Hind Leys, and an excited reporter could be heard screaming at the final whistle... "Phil Sims, Neil Parry, Steve Hughes, Mick Sullivan, Paul Wilkins, Andy Duncombe. Can you hear me Andy Duncombe? Your boys took a hell of a beating." The third team take a break from League action next week, Easter seeing Loughborough RFC go on a five day Tour to Essex where they will play South Woodham Ferrers RFC and Westcliff RFC. The next League game will be at home to Market Bosworth on 29th March. Captain Joe 'Dustin the Turkey' commented after; "The tarmac in the car-park at Hind Leys is nothing to do with me, no matter how bad it is." Luncheon Club Chairman Steve Hughes said; "Binge- Drinking is both an art and a science, but sheer guts can get you through. I expect Stinkies to be enthusiastic. There will be no room for sentiment." Beer Engineer Michael Wright added; "I can tell you nothing, it is top-secret. Don't even try to get anything out of me." Bring it on !

Well said
Focus, that's what everyone else needs know at this time. I will deal with the politics. C'mon my lovely boys. Make sure your available for the 29th, that's all I ask. The team will be very similar to that against Cosby if all available.

Referee / Saturday
Isn't that the unexperienced guy that was changed for the Cosby game? I will be calling everyone today or tomorrow to fix up Saturday's team. I will be going for the same team as against Cosby as much as possible. Sorry to anyone who will be disappointed. There are a few forced changes, Whitters, Marso.
