Alcester 32 – 11 Old Wheatleyans
Muddy Hell
Various Old Wheats made it to the coach on time, various Wheats made it a little late. Some did not make it at all as they had forgotten to get parental consent forms signed. So as the coach pulled into the luxurious surroundings of Alcester RFC Wheats were looking forward to another rip-roaring 80 minutes of egg-chasing, followed by much anticipated snifters in the bar afterwards, with the added bonus that you could get dressed up like an arse if you liked.
The first thing you noticed when you got out on to the field was the mud. Man, it was muddy. Do you remember how muddy it was? Yeah. Proper muddy like the Somme. Wheats opted to run/slide downhill in the 1st half, which had a few mud-spattered highlights, including a nice try in the corner for following a great advantage from the referee (need more refs like this please). Solid control in attack and resolute defence were hallmarks of a commanding 1st half for the Wheats, who could count themselves unlucky despite heavy going to only earn another 2 penalties to add to Jonah’s try. With no reply from Alcester the Wheats had put themselves ahead 11 – 0 at half time.
After half time Alcester scored a bunch of tries then the game ended.
Then it was down to business as everyone got into their gear for the Christmas drink-off. Highlights included Mose and JB as Santa and his little helper (little helpers don’t get much bigger), the Santa-Stella-off between Mose and Superior Hands, Bobby dressed in his tux walking into the pub with Loachy dressed as a cow and asking for a table for 2, AB getting raucous with the Christmas decorations after winning a wine bottle race with Santa, PK trying not to cover everything he touched in blue smurf paint, Tequila toasts back at HQ and Deano’s clown costume seeming a little redundant.
In the end a good time was had by all, though there were a few sore heads the day after, the Wheats headed into the Christmas break for a deserved rest.
