Well that was easy!  This Sunday at 1pm touch in Burlington.  Next Sunday the real bullets start flying again. TBA
 
Promised you an update on Dome winter touch.  The cost for both evenings, Tuesday and Thursday will rise by $5.  Tuesdays $130, Thursdays $140.  Dome subs and social membership must be paid before you can start playing.
 
Another message I was asked to relay.  We will start touch in the week nights at 6:30 to take advantage of what light we have.
 
Keep safe this long weekend, Da Thug
 
P.S. I couldn't let this slide.  A be-lated 74th birthday greetings for our mate, Jack Morrison.  May you have many more.

NOBS WORLD AUGUST 23RD 2013

Don’t forget folks, touch tournament in Burlington this Sunday at 1pm. 

 

Been having requests for a Cricket review from last Sunday.  Our resident cricket expert Rolf Thomas, has provided us with a riveting report on the game. 

 

See you Sunday,  Da Thug

 

From: R Thomas Cricket ?

 

We stood and watched , then they stood and
watched. Then suddenly someone said all the "Overs"
were over,  so we went upstairs and had beer and
sandwiches and a jolly good time was had by all.

NOBS TOUCH TOURNAMENT THIS SUNDAY

Good evening to everyone in the NOBS World.  This Sunday, it's time to drag your butt off the lawn chair and come join us for a touch tournament.  Soccer, golf and cricket are now in the books, so it's time for a little physical exertion.   Things will get underway around 1pm and depending on numbers we will put together the teams and away we go.  Cost for the day is $5 to help cover the food costs.  See you Sunday,  Da Thug

SUNDAY TOUCH "I STAND CORRECTED"

Ladies and gentlemen.  Sunday touch in the winter is not in the dome, but outside on the artificial turf.  I stand corrected.

WINTER TOUCH & RUGBY WORLD CUP 2015 TOUR

 

Good afternoon to everyone in the NOBS World.  The clubs executive met recently to set the wheels in motion for our winter touch program and our tour to England in late September /early October 2015 to go to the Rugby World Cup.

 

Plans for the tour are in the early stages, but we are trying to establish who plans on going.  To date we have 26 players signed up.  What we are looking for now is a totally refundable $300 deposit by October 31st to confirm your place.  At that time we will see who is going and then decide on when and if we need to open spots on the tour to others. 

 

As we move towards this date there will be further reminders and updates.  Currently we are looking at a 10 to 14 day tour, taking in 2-3 games and play at least 2 games.  Stay tuned

 

 

Winter touch in the dome begins near the end of October.  As we did last year we have the dome Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 8pm.  We also will have the dome on Sundays, from 1pm to 2:30.  The cost for Sunday is $5 a week.  Shortly we will have this seasons rate, but please note, a social membership is required to play.  If you played last season you have first shot at joining up.  Very shortly we will post the winter rates and begin registration.

 

Give some thought to the tour and if you have any questions or want to have your name put on the list you can contact John Noble at jnoble1@bell.net  or Craig Morley at ctmorley@cogeco.ca.  Also keep in mind we have a limited number of spots for the dome and your spot is only guaranteed with your winter dues.

FW: Blues v Life Ufe University

Thanks to all of you who came out and supported the Blues yesterday; for
those who couldn't make it, we scraped a 27-25 win over Atlantic Rock with
five first time Blues in the line up. This was a big win for us as we had
five starters in the Canada line-up as they defeated the US in the first leg
of their world cup qualifier.

While you got your moneys' worth, the staff all got a lot older!

We are back at it this FRIDAY evening, kicking off a huge rugby weekend in
Toronto as we host Life University Running Eagles at Oakville RFC, kickoff
is 6 pm. The Friday slot will allow many of you to make it ahead of the
weekend and we are looking for strong support as all the US fans will be on
hand.

Life U are the US club runners up and boast a number of US 7s and 15s caps.

Also on hand will be members of the US and Canadian national teams, and an
exciting youth clinic will precede the match

The attached poster has more detail; look forward to seeing you!

Regards

Mark Winokur
Manager, Blues Rugby

NOBS WORLD AUGUST 16TH :CRICKET, GOLF and Game 2: So close!

 

Good afternoon to everyone in the NOBS World; where ever you are.   This Sunday, we are expecting a warm sunny day, perfect for cricket, which gets under way at 1pm.  The powers to be would like you to turn up at 12:30 to get the days event organized.

 

  I have been receiving all kinds of inquiries on how last weekend events played out.  Below is an email from John Moyes  Guilfoyle on last Fridays soccer.

 

The golf was played last Sunday at Burlington’s Cedar Springs Golf Course, with a three some of Jimmy & Caroline Anderson and Andrew Gaydon taking the best ball tournament with a score of 70!!  Well done. 

Longest drive for the ladies was Jean King, while Tiger Keith McIntyre grabbed the men’s.!!!

Closest to the pin for ladies was Brenda Clark, while Jimmy Anderson collected even more silver ware, taking the men’s division.

 

Jack Morrison once again did a great job I am told organizing the event.  Thanks Jack

 

Next Sunday, August 25th we are planning a touch event.  TBA

 

Have a nice weekend, Da Thug

Subject: Game 2: So close!

 

On Friday we played the second game of the annual NOBS vs BOTSC challenge, and this was very well played. With the core of the team from last month, the players were much more disciplined. We knew, relatively speaking, that we were fitter than the opposition, but this time we played smarter and let the ball do the work.

 

Our strike force was again Andrew, but now with Tony Windsor, not only feeding the forwards but covering back to help out the often beleaguered defence. Again the mid field was anchored by Dave Findley.

 

Throughout the game we had an amazing number of shots on goal, but many were straight at the opposing goal keeper, and a record number over the bar! If we had been playing Gaelic football and got a point for each ball over the bar, we would have killed them.

 

Luckily their strikers looked like they were playing rugby and also skied the ball. We were very unfortunate to present the soccer guys with two easy goals, but our last minute goal brought the final tally to 3-1, in favour of the round ball team. A very solid game by the mid field, including Nick Parkes, Johnny Griff and of course the Eastern Dynamo, Ted.

 

Thanks to all who supported the team, and next year we will be ready for them!

 

John Moyes Guilfoyle.

Craig,

 

Can you send out to the NOBS please :

 

 

This Saturday is the last league games for the Centaurs and we're coming up short a few bodies.

 

Game times are earlier due to the Ontario Blues vs Atlantic Rock Canadian Rugby Championship game.

 

3rds are playing Norfolk at 10:15 and 2nds play Highland II at 11:45.

 

We need a few backs and a couple front row. Anyone that plays gets a free admission to the Blues game.  If you're available please let me know.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Barry

Centaurs, Alumni & Supporters:

I have just received the tickets for those that ordered last week. They will be available for pick up/ payment on Saturday. There are a few extra on a first come first served basis.

Rugby Canada has just announced another group ticket price for 100 + orders.  The least expensive seats have gone from $23.25 to $19.75. See attached diagram for section location.


But what I have also just found out is that your game ticket will also grant you FREE admission to the Candian National Exhibition !
Rugby AND the Ex......what could be better. Take the kids on some rides, pig out in the food building and then relax for a couple hours while you cheer on Canada.

This order will need to go in Monday in order to get the tickets in time.....but there has to be a minimum of 100.
 
 
 
Go Canada !

FW: Platinum Oldies

Good afternoon everyone.  I had some requests today about the Peterborough Platinum Oldies that are being held on Saturday August 17th.  Here it is.  Da Thug

 

 

Hi All,

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable start to the summer. Attached is the flyer for this year's Platinum Oldies Rugby Festival in Peterborough. As you will see the date is August 17 which still seems a long ways away but it will be here before we know it. My mailing list is far from complete (or accurate for that matter) so if you know of anyone that I should add or if you would prefer to not receive info about the Oldies then please let me know. In order to plan the food and drink it would be helpful to get an idea of numbers so if you could reply on behalf of yourselves or maybe one rep per club and let me know how many players and supporters will be attending it would be much appreciated. Also feel free to forward this email to any rugby type mailing lists that you might have.

Until Next Time
