NOBS NEWS: GITS Game Summary

Saturday was a great day for rugby - overcast, cool and damp. The East York field was soft and easy to drop and slide on. The fabulous five forwards (Phil, JP, Derek, Chris, Pablo) were there representing the NOBS. With a little mix and match with the GITS a good game was played. The game was well contested and the when the rain came the ball handling became challenging and humorous at the same time.

Thanks to the GITS for a good afternoon.

NOBs News: Chuck Celebration and the GITS

It was a good day at the park yesterday as we continued to Celebrate Chuck with a game against the GITS.  It was a great turnout for the game by players and spectators alike.  At the beginning of the game both teams came together with Chuck’s family and friends at centre for a few words, then we clapped Chuck off the field for the last time.  Three Cheers for Chuck!  The attached photo shows all those assembled.  

Another highlight of the day was having Craig out for the beginning of the game.  He was welcomed by GITs and NOBS alike.   Thanks to Brian for setting up the field, and  Rolf, Andy and the team for food and beverages.

The game was competitive, with the first 20 minutes being a toss up.  The second 20 favoured the NOBs with some great runs by Dave Jones (his first old boys game) and the backs.  And in the last two 10s, the GITS started to wear the NOB forwards down working hard to get back some trys.  In the end it was 6 to 6.    

Despite the great game, there was an incident late in the game involving name calling.  I am not going to go into the details, but we need to learn from this that words matter and there is no place in old boys rugby for talking back, mouthing off or name calling.   Sincere apologies have been provided by the individual involved, the Silverbacks and the NOBs at the game as well as in writing.   The Executive will review the incident in greater detail and look at what we can do better going forward.  

Thanks to all the came out yesterday. 

Phil

NOBS News: Game Saturday June 9 @1:00 - Sherwood

GAME TIME!  

This Saturday the NOBS & SilverBacks host the big City GITS.  Always a good game to play and watch.  KO is 1:00, so be there are least by 12:30 so we can get organized.  This game is sanctioned.

This will be the first game where the NOBs will show of their new kit make at home after traveling to Florida and up to Fletcher’s (thanks Nick Mantz and Carlsberg!).  Some say they are trimming, make us faster, needless to say we look better!

 

For the NOBS/Silverbacks please confirm if you are playing so we can confirm our numbers (also helps to figure out food!).  The BBQ will be fired up and the clubhouse will be open.  

At the game, we will take a moment at the beginning to remember our friend and player Chuck Schandl who passed away the other week.  Chuck’s Celebration held last week brought out a cross section of Rugby people to celebrate his contribution to the game on and off the field.  No better memory than to play a game and celebrate!

See you Saturday!

Thanks

Phil
