NOBS NEWS: Chambray Game Report

Well it was a warm night, but by game time it had cooled off enough to have a good 12 vs 12 game.  This left more room for some good ball movement and runs by the backs aided by Ryan, "G" and Tom H.  Tom had a number of good runs from the full back position bobbing and weaving his way down the field.   Our forwards had good ball with the roving Derek, rambling Frank and straight ahead Jason.  Deputing at prop (uncontested) and with the support of Tim was JP.  Rounding out the side was Mike O. as scrum half (player of the game) supported by Brian B as outside centre and myself and Carrie as wings....and the wings got some good ball!  Tackling was remarkably good with a focus on the Chambray's centre who took a bit to bring down.  In the end, a win by the NOBs, but more importantly a good time with the graduating Chambray group back at their mess hall.   We did unfortunately have a one injury with Tom H. hurting his shoulder at the very end of the game, hopefully a quick recovery as we have a June 9 game.  At the beginning of the game we had a moment in memory of Chuck and hoisted a pint afterward in his honour.

Thanks you all for the game it was a good Monday night. 

Phil

PS.  Saturday JUNE 9 @1;00 - Nobs/Silverbacks vs the GITS.  Looking for a strong turn out for this game, it is at home against a good side. 

Chambray Game - NO BUS / Sanctioned Game

There was talk last week about organizing a Bus. Just want to be clear that there is no bus, to late to confirm.

Also this is a sanctioned game for those who might not have registered.

Try and be there @ 7:00 so we can get organized.

Thanks Phil

Hi Kevin,

 

I am putting together some photos to display at my dad's celebration of life on Wednesday. I am hoping you can help me to reach out to the rugby community to see if anyone has any photos of my dad they'd like to contribute. If they do, please have them forward the photos to my email.

 

I appreciate it!

NOBS News: Chambray Game MONDAY MAY 28 - Confirmed at Fletchers

We have just confirmed a game with the Chambray on Monday May 28th at Fletchers 7:30 KO.  After the game we will go back to the Armour Heights Officers Mess at Yonge Blvd and Wilson Ave.  They will have food and beer ready. 

I know this is a last minute confirmation for the game, so I need to know your commitment ASAP so we know we have the numbers.  

Chambray will likely only be able to field 15, so we might be looking to help them out. 

On a final note - Chuck told me numerous times this was one of his favourite fixtures of the year, especially when Chambray hosted.   

Thanks

Phil 

NOBS NEWS: Chuck

I am very sorry to inform everyone that Chuck passed away Wednesday afternoon after a battle with cancer.  The NOBs membership have been outstanding in spending time with Chuck, especially over the past 6-months as his condition deteriorated and supporting Teresa through the ups and downs.   At this time, I have no additional information on arrangements.  I know there will be glasses raised to Chuck over the coming days. Cheers.  

 

NOBS NEWs: Saturday All-Comers Game

This Saturday there is a All-Comers Game (unscheduled) being hosted by the GITS at 3:00 at East York Collegiate.  Seems there was a scheduling mix up with another team.  GITS will have good numbers and they wanted to open it up it others as they have a field and referee!

Let me know if you are going so I can give Ray the heads up on bodies.  If yo just want to show up...you can do that to.

Thanks

Phil

PS  Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday touch outside

Please see the attached note from Tracy Morley reporting back on the ALS walk.  Thanks to all.

Sorry if I missed you last Saturday at the Arrows win over Boston, we were just blown away by the fantastic support from the fans and it was amazing to finally play at home!

 

Hope to see you at the next one, as it's a cracker-Canada Selects @ Arrows, York Lions Stadium (the new one just built for the Pan Ams). 7 pm next Friday night.  To say that the intensity is building would be an understatement….places in the national team firmly on the line!

 

Tickets on line for $15 at www.ontarioarrowsrugby.com, or $20 at the gate on the day (suspect these may be scarce).  U16 get in free.  Concessions aplenty…see you there!

Summer touch is happening every Tuesday and Thursday starting at 7:00. We play at the soccer pitch on your right as you enter the parking lot driveway.

Our first contact game has been confirmed for Saturday June 9 @ 1:00 at Sherwood Park (home). We are working with the Silverbacks (Hamilton) to take on the GITS. This game will be sanctioned.

Tentatively, we have a game against Chambray on Monday May 28, but still to be confirmed.

As many of you know Chuck is at the Oakville/Trafalgar hospital. Kevin has been coordinating times for visiting each day. Please contact Kevin for more information (bloskak@gmail.com).

HI Guys,
Looks like Nick has deserted for some R&R.  The NOBS try and cover the hours 10am-1pm.  This gives Teresa time to try and keep her business going.
Can you please provide you availability and I will send out daily updates.

Thanks
