I must admit, after reading the Vets version of the Match report, fair play to the old boys. Particularly liked the "..with age comes experience, maturity and a confidence in each others ability that allows this unique group of players to acknowledge and respect the opposition’s performance..."
Surely, Having no maturity or respect makes The Meisters the most enviable team at Derby??
Also liked the bit where they claim a minor moral victory for their age...

Unlucky!!! - what an enjoyable, technically superb, open and fair rugby feast awaits the Meisters at Stalag 13!!! Best to move around in threes or fours and dont accept gifts.....from little fat people.

If the spartans are out of the cup does that mean all results against them will not count?

Match Report: Derby Vets v Derby IV's
The Pennant Security League Division 5 Top of the Table Clash on 23rd December between Derby Vets & The Mighty Meisters will go down as one of those monumental occasions that stands the test of time, etches itself into peoples brains and bangs in the back doors of Derby RFC history. Think along the lines of 2003 Eng v Aus World Cup Final, 1981 & 2005 Ashes, 1966 & 2001 England V Germany ...in fact add 1945 & 1918 to that as well.
There was a big crowd on the side lines, probably the best turn out to any match in 2006. Admittedly most of them were the Vet’s Supporters, but they needed the help. The Vets had already showed their true colours by opting for Pitch 3 even though the 1st pitch was available. When I say Pitch, calling it a Pitch is like claiming Sheriff as well hung as Saddam Hussein. Still, if the old oxygen thieves want to hide on a narrow, boggy excuse for a pitch and still get beat, it’s up to them.
1st Tackle of the match went to Cavey, now he won’t mind me saying that he’s not the most committed athlete, in fact when it comes to it Cavey would rather choke a chicken than go to training, however the Meisters opened their account when Cavey totally abolished the Vets move from the scrum with a crunching tackle. The Ref saw it differently though and blew for a penalty for not rolling away against the 4ths.
5 minutes in, the 4ths were camped on their 5m line after the Ref called 2 unfair penalty’s for not being on the back foot of the scrum. The Vets capitalised by converting. 3-0 to the Vets.
The Meisters responded with Louis and Dave Richards bursting through the lines to almost reach the try line, the forwards, now getting the better of their counter parts, demonstrated great skill and patience to keep the ball wave after wave against obstinate Vet defending. However, at the next penalty Scot the Boot converted. 3 – 3.
The Meisters then had a bout of good possession and a few penalties were squandered due to the state of the pitch as The Ref was turning into an Ikea Bulb, or depending on your point of view, a Derby Uni Girl (blowing at 1st opportunity).
The possession was then turned into a healthy 4ths lead when Scot pounced on a rare Vets move from the backs, kicked & chased it to the line. The Meisters lead 3 – 8. By Half Time the Meister’s had squandered another penalty kick but added one more via Dave Richards. 3 – 11 at HT.
The half time chat from the Vets was something along the lines of ‘Are we going to let these young squirts get the better of us..?’ as they rejoined the 2nd half with the appetite of a babysitting Pitbull. Their newfound aggression gained them a laughable try. A boot down field was looking to go to touch, but Freddie decided to attempt to keep it in, the Vets seized on it and ran it in, to make the rest of the half uncomfortable. 8 – 11 to the 4ths.
Eamon got the biggest Booing from the crowd when his fist joined the scrum a few minutes before his sizeable frame did. He was obviously getting rid of the pent up aggression from waiting on the sideline. Then there was a ‘Clash of the Titans’ wrestling as Batesy & Mick Thomson did their impression of Godzilla v King Kong…. Everybody else just stood well back.
The crowd got into the spirit of things by crying ‘Shoe Him!!’ at every opportunity. By now though, the Coffin Dodgers were suffering from exposure and started dropping like flies. The whistle blew and the Meisters had scored a memorable, if messy, victory.
The post match celebrations at the Christmas Party Karaoke started off with a very drunk ‘We are the Champions’, and ended with the Braaain talking in Binary at anybody who’d listen (1-0, 1-0, 1-0, 1-0….)
Should be a good Rematch, hopefully we will get sight of the league table soon!

We will be looking forward to the re match on a pitch that is firmer under foot and a little larger. |

Yes great to watch a snorting Xmas panto, a credit to all involved but the front row was not for the faint hearted that day!! far too physical and violent with the old (er) boys just edging it as meisters Bates, Poyser, Thomas & co at times went backwards faster than queers in a cucumber shop!! ..there were a few 'good vet moves' flying around too!!! a special 'cameo' elbow by Planet Eamond, a nice tap dance audition by Tommo and a cheeky upper cut and pistol whip by the Mexican, fun fun fun.....but fair to say on the day the better team just about edged it, so when is the rematch?

Also favorite moment was the "shoe him" banter and the response by a member of the vets pack. |
