Good afternoon rugby fans across the NOBS World, as we mop up after 5 straight days of rain, not to mention hurricane Sandy. All that will be forgotten by Sunday at 1pm, when the East / West game kicks off at the Cru. More on all of this in a bit, but let’s look at what happened last weekend.
On a cold wet Saturday morning at the Square, a group of old boys rugby players gathered to take part in Markham’s Cup Day Game. From what I understand, somebody won by a try, but no one is saying what side? Mr. Bloska reports it was a wet, expensive day. Well….I guess there’s a first time for everything. Scott Hendry who is to play internationally for Canada in November said; “It was cold and wet; a good start to a full day of rugby.” Andrew Jackson’ our resident Geordie stated, “it was a good run out, conditions were bliss, wind, rain and a guad mire of a pitch; perfect.” I guess in Newcastle, the weather is a bit different in late October! Well done to all of you who made the trip and played the game.
This Sunday as stated is the East / West game at 1pm at the Cru. This is the final game of the 2012 season. The Burnett family will be on hand to usher a new era of the game as we re-name it after our favourite Super Gnome, Dave. The game in the past has always been good, with the West having 2 wins and there has been a tie in the first 3 contests. Come join us afterwards in the clubhouse, for food, drinks and a special presentation. This Sunday only, touch will be run at the Cru, so that all can take in the festivities.
See you at the Cru, Da Thug
