i would love to be there tiz, but being an honest bloke, i won't be in a fit state to be at the club for that rediculous time.
I do wish the boys well on their adventure to the back of beyond.

Bad luck on today's result lads; a long way to go to lose by a single point.
I have just left The Vine where Lounge Lizard Tizard is crying in to the dregs at the bottom of his beer mug.
However look on the bright side: Italy travelled all the way to Dublin to be robbed.
Thanks to Ryan for playing for the Beeeests yesterday: at least he'll be able to wear a nice Black and Amber Beeest shirt instead of the colts new High Visibility Orange one!

From the match report:
"Richard James and Jason Kennedy were both busy around the fringes"
Perhaps adding weight for my shift to number 8..
"Newcomer Australian Harry Elliott, who is spending a gap year coaching at Loughborough Grammar, looked promising and will add to the competition for places in the side"
It ain't gonna happen!
Perhaps i should just settle for any back row postion, but thats equally unlikely 
On a different note, the shirts deserve the(quite funny) jokes.. but I quite like mine! Perhaps we can blind the future opposition into submission with our style.. |

Cheers Dickie, Simmo has also mentioned the "admiring" looks we got as we entered Donny services on Sunday afternoon and I didn't see anyone reach for their sunglasses.

Well said Dickie (well the last bit anyway!) We must wear the shirts with pride and let people make their comments. I'm sure after a few washes they'll look fine!
Spotted this report from the Grimsby website:
"A few more grey hairs were noticed on the heads of the Grimsby U19s' coaching team at the end of this match, as once again the Colts overturned a significant deficit to achieve victory in this NLD Cup League game, despite being depleted through injury to certain key players. The home side were slow out of the starting blocks and Derby caught them on the hop with an early try when their forwards drove over the line following a 5-metre scrum, which they were unable to convert. This seemed to be a wake-up call for the Blues who came back strongly after the restart and subjected their opposition to a period of sustained attack which culminated in lock Marc Burke storming over for his ‘trademark' try. The conversion attempt was not successful.
The home side then went back to sleep and allowed Derby to exert pressure in areas in which Grimsby have been dominant so far this season. The visitors soon scored another try when they easily created an overlap for their speedy left wing and this time successfully converted to go back into the lead at 12 – 5. Still apparently lethargic, the Blues conceded another score after Derby again successfully created an overlap, this time on their right wing, resulting in a converted try. The home side then lost their full back Chris Langford with the reoccurrence of a hamstring injury and Andrew Potter took his place.
Grimsby number 8 Daz Spreadbury then started to lead the side by example and made several charges, which put Derby on the back foot. The home side were awarded a 5-metre scrum and, following a successful strike from hooker Matt Pettiford, Spreadbury picked up at the base and drove over the line to score a try close to the touchline. Centre Ed Studd was unlucky with the conversion attempt as the ball hit the post and went wide. At this stage it seemed that the Blues were in the ascendance and were soon threatening their opposition's line again. Studd made a break and offloaded to right wing Luke Chaplin who passed on to Burke on the wing. Like a rampaging bullock, Burke tossed aside two would-be defenders and crashed over to score his second try of the match. Spreadbury took over the kicking duties for this conversion attempt and came close but the kick did not succeed, leaving the home side trailing 19 –15. Shortly before the break, Grimsby were awarded a penalty in the opposition half. Spreadbury took the quick tap and made some ground, then off-loaded to Burke who drew a defender before passing on to Studd. The ball then reached outside centre Michael Pennington via Chaplin and Pennington used his strength to power over for a try. The conversion kick was short but Grimsby turned round 20 – 19 in front.
Derby recovered the lead early in the second half when the home side conceded a penalty following a kick ahead, which caused difficulties in defence for the Blues. The conversion was missed. Grimsby fought back again and eventually the ball reached Charlie Studd on the wing, who cut back inside and passed the ball to open side flanker Matt Leitch. Leitch kicked ahead and dived on the ball over the Derby try line to score. The kick at goal went wide. Grimsby continued to exert pressure and were dominating their tiring opposition who infringed when Grimsby seemed certain to score after a good forwards' drive, so the referee awarded a penalty try which Studd converted, leaving Derby needing to score twice to win. In the dying minutes of the game, Derby broke through and several missed tackles from Grimsby allowed a final score from the visitors, who converted the try with the last play of the game."
Not sure about the description of the first try.

A good name Mr Tiz,: I believe the Satsumas were a fiendishly barbaric Japanese warrior class that took no prisoners. |
