Good afternoon to everyone across the NOBS World; where ever you are. One of the big events on the NOBS calendar is on this Sunday, starting at noon in Burlington. The NOBS annual 10 A-side tournament. Pictured above is the Green Doyle’s side; winners of last year’s event.
More on the 10’s in a bit, but let’s review the last 2 weeks of events. 2 weeks ago the GITS were in Burlington to help get the second half of the season underway. It was a great old boys event, with big plays, tackles and trys. There was a cast of thousands on hand. Last Sunday in Markham on a great day for rugby, on an equally great pitch, there was only 30 players; enough for 2 full sides; thanks go out to the GITS for lending us 3 players! So where were we? Teams are going to become hesitant to play us if we don’t travel well to play them. To all of you who were there; thank you. We still have a few opportunities to improve on this. September 29th we travel to southeast Toronto to play the GITS at East York Collegiate. See you there. So ends the sermon.
This Sunday as mentioned before is our 10’s event. Always lots of fun. The GITS and Brantford have entered squads, while the NOBS and sods will fill out the 2 other sides; The Green Doyle’s and Yellow Mellow Crossfields. Try to be dressed and ready for 11:30, so we can arrange our 2 squads. Things get underway at high noon! There is also going to be 2 touch games between the tackle games, each session about 15 minutes. A suggestion has been made that if we get the numbers we could have 2 over 55’s, games of 10’s, instead of touch. Great opportunity for the real “olde boys” to strut, their stuff. Come out, come out where ever you are.
There will be more on the 10’s in the next few days. Da Thug
