HAS POTENTIAL. CAN DO BETTER. TALKS TOO MUCH DURING CLASS. FINAL MARK - B+


It was one of those days where things were supposed to come right on the night but didn't. At least for the first 40 minutes.
Once again we didn't have Keiths coming together and using the ball to our advantage. This may be due to New Boys and Coves not knowing each other etc etc or just a general malaise that's descended over the team. Which ever it is, I'm confident it will soon work itself out.
For the first time this season, some of the boys didn't get on the field even though they were stripped and rearing to go (whom I'm sure wont be forgotten about) but those that did had opportunities to shine.


Lucey bared his teeth, ran like a demon and tackled with gusto, even after dislocating his finger. Luckily Chief never got his shaman healing hands on it.
Sam went mad for africa and was everywhere doing everything possible to increase the score.
Paul kicked the ball exactly where I would have kicked the ball if I knew how to, excepting 1 conversion attempt.
Kev said 'get the fuck out of my way, I'm coming through' and they did along with Red and Breen making all sorts of gutteral grecian spartan pictish noises from their throats. Scared the bejesus out of me.
Bruce showed Sumner what a real builder's crack looks like and that also scared the bejesus out of me.
Webby and Moto played swapsys for the second half and while Webby was was bandaging himself up to stem the blood flow, Moto was shouting banzai and scaring the bejesus out of himself.
Sonny Phil played 80, but threw only 90(%) which is better than previous weeks but guys, you have to listen for the calls.
Big Ross stormed the centres while Col stormed all around the mauls. And shit.


Those that were there to play and to watch both halves saw a huge and incredible 2nd half performance of skill and more importantly, effort and dedication. Bring that with you next time guys. It's a needed commodity.
As always, a few beers up at Sumner Beach Hut HQ and an extremely warm and generous welcome. The Keiths wish you well on your diabetes fundraising efforts.
Sadly, the few who turned up back at the club had a shit load of piss to drink. But we managed.
