Give the man a chance Finbar, he's probably still sleeping off the hangover that he was working on when I left him at Wisey's last night!!!!!!!!
Although he was in a better state than another poor soul who's name shall not be mentioned, hey Dawesy?

Good night had by all?
Would have like to be there, but I've got other responsibilities ie a 2 year old boy.
I didn't mean to be impatient. Just a gentle reminder.

"It's Christmas Time and there's no need to be afraid...
And at Full time, Coalville let in tries and felt ashamed…"
Yes, What better way to celebrate Christmas than a good old sing song.
So come on, finish your glass of Mulled Wine, Snowball or Dandelion & Burdock (Jagermeister & RedBull)
Put down your Scalextrix and put on your wellies, scarf & mittens (the ones with the connector string that goes up your sleeves)
Set the Turkey & Stuffing on low, we're off down the pub for a few before lunch to hear a how this match went and sing a few songs…
It was a very cold journey up the hill to Coalville, but the Meisters showed their intent and turned up in force. An impressive squad of 22 warmed up with the biggest game of Pass the Parcel I'd seen since Junior School. When Coalville finally surfaced and the whistle blew, the opening move went as follows.
Coalville kicked, Nelly received, ruck. Graham "Finbar "Finlay dug it out, Louis received…... Try….. "Do they know how to Tackle at Alllll…?"
Coalville responded to this early disappointment with vehement benevolence. They kicked the ball long during their first phase of play, Louis "I'm-on-my-own-22m-line-playing-Full-Back-what-do-you-expect-me-to-do-Ooh-I've-Just-Scored-Another-Try" Gandolfo received and returned the complement after cutting a curve the length of the pitch, out running & out classing the Coalville backs. No need to pass, we couldn’t catch him either…."See Amid the Coalville Posts…."
The returning-from-injury-kicking-sensation Scott "The Boot" Johnson converting after the wind took the first.
Coalville slowly started to get their act together, but with Sheriff, The Braaain, Cavey, Colin Luscombe, Nelly & Booya on form, tackles went in thick & fast, Coalville possession was lost, Dawes scored an easy try, after all the hard work was done by Scot at Fly Half & Braddow at inside centre. Then the damaging tackles started to show as Coalville lost a player only to be replaced by our very own J.B. (who obviously couldn't stand the biting Cold on the by-line, instead offering to Roast his Chestnuts in the scrum). Now, The Meister's Christmas spirit is well known in these regions, as demonstrated previously with the addition of Jody to the Loogabarooga side, but a gift wrapped J.B. was the present Coalville always wanted… Somebody who could tackle. As a result The Meisters found themselves having to defend, but Coalville's back play let them down, their under rehe****d moves were too predictable and they crumbled under the slightest pressure.
Then came the comedy classic, the equivalent of The Two Ronnie's Christmas Special. Firstly, after a surging run by Finbar and awesome support by the forwards was held up on the line, Gandolfo's out of character knock-on spoilt a certain try, then after Braddow broke through and only had the full back to beat, Dawes came screaming for the pass and to his surprise…. Braddow passed…. Open field, 10 metres to go, all you're got to do is catch it….. What? Braddow passed??.... Too late, the moment was gone. Dawes had missed a sitter…. "You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot…"
(Braddow was a bit miffed about that one as he could've scored himself, but any feelings of guilt were washed away later when Dawes found Braddow out the back of Jorrocks in a pool of his own vomit, took him home, put him in the recovery position after his Girlfriend had hilariously slapped him for being a drunken fool, then did the chivalrous thing and jumped in a Taxi with his Missus back to Jorrocks!!).
As with all good Christmas stories, the chance for redemption is never far away. A few minutes later, after promising to Reuben on the wing that one day he will get to touch a ball, Dawes received the ball on the Coalville 22, ran through the first back, handed off the second, ran down the touchline with only the Full back to beat. Bosh! Over in the corner for his 2nd try…. "I Saw Three Backs go flailing by and Coalville's play was appalling…."
Gandolfo redeemed himself with his 3rd try before Half Time, the usual Pantomime-chase-me-he's-behind-you affair. Braddow also managed to put the past behind him and get one for himself after some excellent running.
Half Time rang the Bells of Change for Norm Collier returning from injury in place of Gandolfo, Jesus (ironically) for the Braaain, Fordy for Reuben, Wisey for Nelly, Charlie for Braddow and Pierrepont for Freddy - with the score standing at a Jolly 36-00.
The second half belonged to the Forwards. Against the wind, surging runs from Finbar followed by the Forwards crunching tackles laid Coalville to waste, as two more of their players hobbled off…. "Their Forwards watched the Ball go by…"
Cavey & The True Meaning of Christmas breaking through the lines for Cavey to finish for his first.…."Baby Jesus & The Little Donkey..."
A few minutes, later Cavey put down his second after The Wise Man had given him his gift…."I wish it could be Christmas everyday..."
Collier proved himself a force to be reckoned with after getting stuck in at Full Back with some excellent running and tackling, he needs to make a decision for the 23rd Dec when the top of the table clash between The Meisters & Derby Vets takes place. Norm's exuberance though led to Coalville's first try. After forcing his way through, there was a gap at the back, and when Coalville punted the ball down field Dawes was facing a 50m sprint to chase the Coalville Full Back to the ball. After battling to the line, Dawes put his hand on it, but Sir allowed the try for Coalville (he admitted later in the bar that he gave it as a consolation as he thought Dawes had obstructed the Full Back…from behind???)
The next phase of play saw Wisey take the ball almost to the try line, stopped just short but the ball went into touch for a Derby throw. Finbar called a Dummy-Scissors-Pop, Charlie faked beautifully to leave Dawes with a gap the size of a Large Turkey and a 10m run in for his 3rd. There was some dispute whether the ball was knocked out of his hand at the last minute but hey-ho - they all count…. "We 3 Tries give you more than Booya…"
Favourite Moment of the Match: Coalville defending deep, received the ball from a Lineout behind their own try line, went to kick under pressure. The ball went about 3 yards, hitting one of Coalville's players square in the face before rebounding into the waiting hands of Booya who just knelt down for a try… Everybody was in stitches apart from the bloke lying on the floor with a numb face..."It'll be Lonely this Christmas, without... a nose..."
The final moments of the game saw Coalville put down a try of their own as the whistle blew. A good performance by the ever improving Meisters, the next two weeks will be deciders for the League with the must-win return game to HMP Ranby and then the grudge match against Derby Vets on 23rd. With this showing against the never fully realised potential of Coalville and a decent turn out, there is reason to believe…. "Oh Come, All Ye faithful..."…. Final Score 60- 12

Blimey you boys are on the ball!
Nelly, true I spent all Sunday monging in front of the telly. Although, after Colin L limping off at Wisey's and Braddow's effort in Jorrocks, I think I came out of it quite well.
Finbar you deserved every word of it, some impressive bursts...

Colin L was in the booze zone when we went back to ours before going onto Wisey's, necking vodkas and asking for more. But within an hour at Wisey's he was face down talking to Huey & Ralph. Ironically, Braddow was helping him out!!
East Leake cryed off, couldn't raise a team so we got the points. We've got the away match next year. We lost that one last season.
