KEITH STRIKE BACK. WITH A VENGANCE. THE SEQUEL. 2.


The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Paddy Lucey, &c. Who was Born in Ireland, and during a Life of continu'd Variety for Twodozen Years, besides his Childhood, was Four Year a Keith, five times a Lover (whereof once to his own Sister), Twelve Year a Scholar, Five Year a Transported Felon in New Zealand, at last grew Rich, liv'd Honest, and died a Penitent.

Kevin was stopped short of skiting with three tries, but two is a good haul. Tito, Ross and Poacher made their tries seem easy, but how desperate is Richard Power to stay on top of the points ladder? How could anyone deny Lucey and Chester their moment in the sun? Finally.


It's a truth universal that the tighter one squeezes what one wants, the more it slips between ones fingers. Or is that just in porn? Anyway, we've proven it today, as we have in the past (but seemingly forgotten) that when we relax and trust ourselves, the game opens up and we come together. No, hang on, that IS porn.
Everyone in the squad has individual skills and long may we continue to utilize them; but a winning performance relies on basic fundamentals and if we continue to get those right, more wins will come.

Thank you to those whose injuries were not so onerous so as to stay at home fidgeting with themselves, but who turned up and played their part on the sideline running touch, passing water, running drills and generally being supportive. It's good to remember that team spirit isn't only for those on the field.
Thank you also to those who put their bodies on the line in past weeks but sensibly took themselves out of selection availability so that they may be better and faster and stronger later in the season. Hopefully those who injured themselves today will not have to sacrifice too much time for recovery.
Our injury woes are not the worst I've seen, but it is important to recover well so that the team can continue to function. Doug Jack has a spa for those needing Sunday soothing.



It was a funny game to watch with brilliant rolling mauls and back line bursts but also with "what the fuck are you doing" moments, but I from the sideline, thoroughly enjoyed the game. Mainly because of the result, but I still enjoyed it.

I missed it last week back at the clubrooms, but no fighting tonight please. Just like the fuzzy wuzzys, Div3 don't like it up 'em. And neither do the bar staff.
