Good evening ladies and gentlemen, all across the NOBS 30th Anniversary World. That's right, 30 years and the authorities haven't closed us down, but at times I am sure the ORU would have liked to. We have a big day planned for July 22nd; when we are hoping to gather all NOBS young and old, from near and far. Stay tuned for more on this in the weeks to come.
The season is now underway, and last Sunday we hosted Peterborough in our home opener. The Krocks played their standard hard grinding style. It looked at first as if the NOBS would run away with the game, but after shaking off the rust of their 401 drive, they started to battle back. They finally tied the score with 7 minutes to play only to see the NOBS move the ball down field to score. Time was running out, but the Krocks, on a try from the eventual"Man of the Match" Pat Burns scored a try at the final whistle! Both sides knew they had been in a game.
Great to see many former NOBS in the crowd, taking on the match. Many thanks to Christina Flores, Rolf Thomas, Jason Leek, Pope John Noble, Pablo, and Kevin Blosca for all their help in making the day an event. Lets not forget our bar tender Barry Goldberg. Thanks folks.
Just another reminder that there is no game in Burlington this Sunday; but there is a game between the GITS and Old Blue at Sunnybrook and everyone not going to Franconia is invited to join in. Kickoff is set for 1pm; but stay tuned as I have been informed the venue may change. Next game for us is June 10th in Markham. More on that next week.
Touch as always, will be run in Burlington on Sunday at 1pm. I would like to close things off with a bit of good news for the Old boy's community. For the first time in years, 2 oldboys games were played on Sunday. The Krocks of course played the NOBS, while at the Beach, Markham/Lions played the GITS. See you on the pitch, Da Thug
