NULLUM MAGNUM INGENIUM SINE MIXTURA DEMENTIAE FUIT


Contrary to popular belief, I am in fact, not dead. Also contrary to popular belief, Muncher did a good job being coach, captain, manager and host. Or maybe it was simply because his father in law was watching. Who can say.

With an awful lot of Keiths not at rugby because their female bosses decided they'd rather be out in the cold and damp or North Hagley Park drinking beer, we started with a surprisingly strong and committed team of 19 (Piez was neither strong nor committed so I didn't count him in that number) which was bolsted by our Fijian friends arriving very late and Goober also arriving very late. No matter, they did their 20 minutes at the end.

But it was good to see some old faces return, fully stocked up of Keithliness. Big Daz, Goober (as mentioned earlier) Tito (also as mentioned earlier), Col and AJ. Good men doing good things on the field.

We had several New Boys today, Tom, Vinny, Sean and Savenaga with violaters of Article 1.4.2.1 & 1.4.2.2 of the Charter, Murray & Daz also coming back into the fold. Good to see your beers on the table.

We started the match with a doubtful referee situation but he eventually turned up just in time for a late start. He was fair and balanced and did a not too un-ok job. For a guy who thinks a punch to the face is the same as a moving body colliding with a stationary hand (from last year's Christchurch game).

Scrums we had the Munchers beat quite well, tackling we had them beat quite well, kicking with the wind we had them on equal par but with mid-fielders bursting through and scattering green and gold players to the wind, we had them downright smashed 'em bro. Poacher and Muzz we repeatedly going after the gaps even if there wasn't one there, followed in kind by AJ. Was a lovely sight to behold.

Bravo seemed to know what he was doing at half-back without getting any tips at all from Webby so that's a good thing to know and to have tucked away for future reference.

Ross decided to rest his still healing busted arm, and it was probably a good idea to keep his body fresh for our next outing. One never knows when old age will creep up on us and say sorry, you can't play this week.
Can we say we didn't miss Breen and Dirk at all today?
