AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN, AND IN THE MORNING, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.



Twas an important day to some, and just another day to others, but it was good to see both teams respecting the moment before the game commenced, and respecting each other later on during play. A good start to ANZAC Day rugby.

Shirley The Official Wankers are always a good team to play historically, even if the skill level was in the past a bit one sided. In our grade, once you've been around as long as we have, you get to form relationships with teams and opposition players. The Wankers are no different in the regard and I am always pleased to see Keiths joking around and having fun with the other side.

Talking about having fun together, Sam and his father seem to be a good pairing on the field. Both playing like champions gave us something good to watch instead of watching Breen play. So more Father/Son days on Saturdays I say. More also of bringing speedy and talented New Boys. Tito, Zac, Jarden and Suta woke us up a bit as to what we could accomplish if we weren't fat and slow (or Breen). Notwithstanding the impact of those New Boys, some of the older generation of Keith proved why they are still on form. Freddy, who wasn't even going to play, scored and gave his all. Kev just continued to be Kev right up the middle and get out of my way. Pieman gave another huge 80 and dirty old Frankie still has some moves.
Which is all good as a team that's been around as long as ours understand the importance of mixing old and new, slow and fast, daring and considered methodogy, speights and lion brown.



I'm not going to talk about what happened immediately after this photo was taken as what happens in lockin, stays in lockin, but jesus wept that was both the awfullest yet funniest thing i have ever seen.
