U13 Latest Match Report
Beach Rugby
Sun, sand, sea, rugby and Guns and Roses playing over the p.a.
What more could we have asked for apart from several miles of duck tape to keep the “children” (including Messrs Ludlum and Dodkins) under control between games.
It was a fantastic family day out and (pardon the cliché) rugby really was the winner.
Twelve games were played by the two teams we entered both of which made it to a final. Unfortunately, “No Idea” came second in the “Jug” final but “Rigor Mortis” managed to win the “Vase.”
Bottom line is, however, that we all had a cracking day out and, hopefully, we will do it again next year.
It has been confirmed to me that most of the tournament was played on a big screen at the Lions game in S.A.
Special thanks to Damian Evans who (was) volunteered to run the “No Idea” team. He enjoyed it so much I understand that he is now looking for a full time job in rugby management.
Thanks also to the other half of the Wilkins family who stepped in to make up the numbers on the day. I could have sworn that I saw Dave dodge several would-be tacklers to score a sublime try. I am, however, assured (by the man himself) that the heat must have affected my vision. This is a shame because DW will not often get the chance to say that he “went over the line” even if the opposition did have an average age of about six years.
Mr Dodkins did suggest that I might want to award a “Player of the Tournament” award.
He, also, suggested that I might like to award it to him.
Sean, I have given the matter very much thought. Indeed, I thought about it for the whole of a commercial break during the replay of the Lions game on Saturday evening. My decision is that, yes, there will be a “Player of the Tournament” award and “no, “you aren’t getting it!!
Instead the award will be shared between all of the ladies who took part and who bravely took to the field / sand with team mates such as Sean “Lets Mix It With The larger Ladies From Barnett” Dodkins and Aaron “Sub Me After Two” Ludlum. (Aaron, the St Johns Ambulance people have asked if you would return the defibrillator when you have finished with it.)
Seriously, I hope you all enjoyed it sufficiently enough to enter next year. Maybe we could get a third team out.
Finally thanks to Neil “Skippy” Storey for his guest appearance. (I am still not sure which was the more lame, him or his excuse for not playing.)
