The Beests kicked off the defence of the Derbyshire 2nd Team Cup with a home clash against local rivals Ashbourne.
A warm spring day saw the Beests playing on the first team pitch, (well someone has to), and though the start was a bit haphazard, Dancing Pete was soon over the whitewash with the MIGHTY BEESTIE PACK in the ascendent. Jan van T added the nudge.
Ashbourne hit back with a penalty.
As some of the large crowd had had trouble getting in because of traffic congestion on Haslams lane, and there was a bit of a furore at the gate over forged tickets due to very high demand. Dancing Pete, being a kind soul, decided to produce an action replay, and again went over the line acompanied by the MIGHTY BEESTIE PACK. Jan van T, showing a wicked sense of humour missed the conversion, confusing some of the crowd who were convinced that this was a genuine replay. The Ashbourne kicker then added a penalty, just to prove that they too could do their own replays.
The rest of the first half was a fairly scrappy affair, with the BEEESTS trying to produce some rugby, but being let down by poor hands and dogged Ashbourne defence.
Just before the break some quick ball to Jan van T saw him slice through the Watford Gap to score: he then added the nudge.
Half-time Beests 19 - 6 Ashbourne.
This week's half time talk was given by Major General Toon van Loon, NATO comander in Afghanistan, who was expected to give a paper on "Proactive intervention of massive force on little men in caves", but as he thought this would not be of interest to the herd, he talked about his allotment instead. He pointed out that all of the winter digging should have been completed by now, that all fruit bushes and trees should have been pruned, early potatoes laid out for chitting, and the first planting (under cloches)of broad beans, cabbage and carrots should have been done last weekeend.
Cristof Taylersen, realising that he had forgotten to cut back the raspberry canes, asked if he could nip off and do it, and was replaced by the Naked Paint Baller.
This rousing lecture produced the desired result, and the second half got underway with the the Beests on the attack: Van Robotson blasting over the line to score, and Jan van T added the 2 points.
Soon after, THE MIGHTY BEESTY PACK rolled over the line, and the Fez got up with the ball (or was it a large donner kebab?), Jan again slotted the nudge.
Jan now got a bit greedy (probably thinking of that kebab), and got a try of his own, which he duely converted.
It was at this point that we realised that there was a heckler in the crowd: some chap kept yelling about having travelled from the moon to see S van Bend score a try. This of course caused a great roar of laughter, as the idea of van Bend scoring a try and astronauts watching the Beests were equally daft - well maybe the idea of astronauts arriving isn't all that stupid.
Anyway the security forces jumped on top of the heckler, and were about to beat him to pulp, when S van Bend on his trade mark "hook" move blasted on to a well timed pass and split the Ashbourne defence wide open; he took the ball on fifty yards before off-loading a lovely pass to Van Robotson who was well up in support; five more points.
Jan van T added the nudge as the ref blew for full time.
