The Beests moved to pitch 3 for the first time this season, and kicked-off 5 minutes late, as the Stourbridge coach (as in bus, not trainer) got lost on the way and arrived a bit late.
For the first 20 minutes Stourbridge played some very quick, powerfull rugby that saw the Beests ship 26 points, as the opposition ran in 4 tries, with some excellent moves and quick hands. This pissed the herd off a bit, so they decided to get some points of their own. Some good work up front produced a try for Fitch Von Fitchoven, and *&^% (the player previously known as Dave Danson) added a penalty.
Just before half-time Cresswell Coaches who had been annoyed all week at the attention that Door Mat had received last week, fell over and complained that he had broken his leg. Luckily the St. Johns ambulance brigade were on hand, and were able to confirm that in fact it was his left arm that was broken, so he was dragged off the pitch and the game continued. (The DRI later decided that he was a pansy and there was nothing wrong with him at all, they did however lend him some crutches in case he got too pissed to walk later on).
Half-time: Beests 8 - 26 Stourbridge
The second half got underway, and Stourbridge ran in another try, but the Beests were still fighting and Maddag 1 crossed the whitewash for a well deserved score, with *&^% (the guy previosly known as someone else) adding the 2 points.
The score stayed the same till 5 minutes from the end when Stourbridge, who were able to field 8 subs, ran in 2 tries for a final score of 15 - 43 (to the other side).
This was easily the best team that the Beests have played against this season, and even though losing is not fun, there were several good points to take away from the game: Heads never went down, defence, as last week, was dogged, with players playing for each other.
(Squad: Mad Van Dag 2, Moltonlava, The Wizard, Van Robotson, The Maharaja, *&^%, Van der Crumb, Fez, Dancing Pete, The Prancing Poof, Pawpaw, Man Mountian, Threeshoes, Cresswell, Von Fitchoven, Mad Van Dag 1, Hogshead, Fireman Sam, Dan Van Gad and The OAP)

A Hogshead is a cask of beer that contains 54 gallons. This is a very exact description of Stu late on a Saturday night. So I'm afraid Norm...............

| Well done to the Beests for staying close to a team that were possibly the strongest team present at Haslams on Saturday. Injuries clearly took their toll on the side. I only saw the last few minutes of the game, but the effort in defence throughout was, I'm sure, epitomised by Ryan's great attempt to stop the last try. Only the wetness of the pitch meant the Stourbridge players was able to slide over the try line. |

The average age of the front row rose significantly when the 'guest' hooker arrived on the scene (pic 12!) after the two youngsters had wimped out! |

Must point out that it was uncontested scrums at this point, didn't want to ruin my rugged good looks by getting involved in a real scrum....

If in doubt..... give it the forwards. BOSH!! |

| How long did our 'legendary international' 'super' 'top' 'best prop in the club' last ? mmmmm 15 mins wasnt it! before you forced "Hogshead" into abrupt action! at least it stopped the scrums going backwards once you sloped off so just look at it as your one positive "Glover micro cameo" game contribution ... |

exactly it was an obvious move that hogshead was a better scrummager than me and his experienc, strength and his bag of tricks was needed. but the scrum was going back both sides macca not just tight head.
If in doubt..... give it the forwards. BOSH!! |

Big boys play with big toys, Glover plays .....for 10 mins then returns to the pram!
