Nob News: DOME Update

So the dome is off to a good start.  We have great attendance on the Tuesday night 7-8.  Rolf tells me we have the entire dome to work with so if you are still interested Tuesdays is a good night for all. But make sure you see Rolf about the cost for participating, the dome is not free. 

On Thursday, we have the 6-7 slot which is a pickup game using have the dome. For some it is a good warm up for the league play form 7 to 8:30.  Right now we have two teams entered in the league, but we have enough players for just over 1 team.  There were a number of players who indicated they were going to play but we have not seen yet.  No problem if life is busy, we can’t all make it all the time.  But there is a financial commitment the club is making entering the teams based on the commitments made.  As of right now, the club is footing the majority of the cost and we are far from break even.  It is $1,700 a team and we are asking $150/player.  I think we have around 13/14 signed up and paid leaving us well short of our ~20 we were expecting.  So, if you are still committed to being out, but maybe have not had the chance to make it out yet on Thursday please let me know. 

Don’t forget Sunday @ 1:00 outside is always on!

Thanks

NOBS News: Chambray and DOME

What a fine looking team…but somehow I am missing?, it was a great Saturday at the park.  The “SLOBS” (SiLverbacks/NOBS) put together a fine performance.  There was good scrummaging, fast ball out, good hands to move the ball, and resulting in some good tries.  Talking with the GITS they were telling me this was one of their toughest game they have played.  It was good quality ball on both sides, the GITS never stopped playing and did some fine tackling.  Look closely at the picture, there are some faces we would like to see back out on the field on a more regular basis (think Pablo’s end of game appeal).  Thanks to those that were able to make the fixture and Hamilton for moving the fixture to Burlington, made for a great day.  Also a good spread of food curtesy of Gary, Rolf and others.

Moving on…. 

On Wednesday night 7:00 KO is the annual Chambray game (soccer pitch under the lights). This is always a good game with an opposition that understands discipline and never stop playing.  I have heard from a good number of players, but please make sure we have the turnout.  Past years we have had subs which is needed for such a young energetic group.

DOME

Tuesday 7-8 Dome #1 ($75)

Thursday 6-7 (open $75), 7-8:30 (league $150) Dome #1

Please make sure to bring your $$$ for Rolf.   For those playing league make sure to bring a green and white shirt.  The 6-7 time is open play time.

Fletcher’s – Cup Day

Just a reminder there is an ALL COMERS game (over 35) at Fletchers Fields 11:00 KO this Saturday.  Last year we had a good turnout for this end of year game. Just a reminder there is a $10 fee to get into the park.   

    

Re: NOBs News: Games and Dome - CORRECTION(s)

OK...I should not do two things at once.  I am happy that some people read these emails.  

- Game this Saturday is Oct 14th...not 18th

- Dome time on Tuesday is 7-8...not 6-7.  although if we said 6, we might start on time?!?

Sorry for the extra communication.....

Just a reminder of the Game this Saturday Oct 18 @ Sherwood 1:00 KO where the Silverbacks and NOBs take on the GITS.  We are the pre-game show before the main event at 3:30 where the Centaurs take on the Yeoman for promotion.  If you have not confirmed, that is ok, just show up for the game.  Berties and Alumni welcome as long as your or over 35.  This is a sanctioned game.

****I need confirmation of players for Wednesday evening for Chambray game 7:00 KO under the lights.  An annual favourite against the military school who may not be the strongest rugby players but they just don't stop coming at you.  Again, this is a sanctioned game.  

Last, but not least is the East/West end of year game at Fletchers on Oct 21st 11:00 KO.  This is an all-comers game.  $10.00 to get into the park (as usual) and we will be asking for a $5.00 match fee.  A sanctioned event.

DOME

Dome Starts next week with Tuesday (dome#1) between 6-7.  $75 goes to Rolf.

On Thursday (Dome #1)we have the less formal 6-7 touch ($75) then the more formal league 7-8:30 ($150, including the 6-7 time).  For the League we will enter 2-teams but each week we can change the teams up.  For shirts we will go simple GREEN and WHITE, please bring both colours every time.  I am working with Nick Manz to get the registration sorted up for both teams.  WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE DOING THE LEAGUE, if you have not let us know already.

Thanks

FW: NOBS - Touch Tuesday and Thursday

Kevin has suggested that TOUCH should start at 6:00 versus 6:30.  So if you can make it by 6:00 then do so.

NOBS News: Contact Game Oct 14 @1:00 (SANCTIONED) - Sherwood

Couple of pieces of information….

1. Oct 14

Well, our next contact game is coming up fast on October 14^th.  The game was originally scheduled to be played in Hamilton, but they have been very accommodating and the game has been moved to Burlington in advance of the big Centaur's game.  Thanks to the Silverbacks/Hornets. 

 

The game is a 1:00 KO (sharp) to make sure we are done before the 3:30 KO.  The SILVERBACK/NOBS will combine forces to take on the GITS juggernaut.  With the game being moved Sherwood, I expect to see a good turnout from the NOBS/Centaurs (over 35)- Berties/Silverbacks.  The game is sanctioned, so any Centaur alumni who want a short run are more than welcome to have a go.  

 

We will make arrangements for after event food, so we can sit back and watch the Centaurs take on the Yeoman at 3:30.      

2. Oct 21

The next contact game will be at Fletcher's Field on Saturday October 21 – Cup day 11:00 KO.  We did this game last year and had a good time.  This is an all comers game that will be sanctioned.  The last contact game of the year will be against Chambray, I am just waiting on field confirmation.  It will be late Oct or very beginning of November.

 

3. DOME/Touch

We have been getting the lists together based on emails we have received.  I will check in with Rolf this week and communicate more net week.  The Tuesday dome starts Oct 17 and Thursday Oct 19.  We are still outside for now starting at 6:30 and always Sunday @ 1:00 – even on Thanksgiving!

 

Thanks For Now….
