NEW BOYS STAND OUT, PUT THEIR HANDS UP AND GIVE THEIR ALL
It's becoming a trend, and a welcome one, where New Boys are making their mark ahead of Old Coves on a Saturday afternoon. Kelvin, Colin, Johnny, Adam, H and George are becomming integral to the team and we Old Coves thank you very much.

The panic at the start of the game about team numbers continues to be the scene at every game, but we sorted out the positions and trotted onto the muddy and slippery field at Hansen Park from where Sydenham immediately decided we were a bunch of useless cunts and ran in several tries in a matter of minutes. This, of course shocked the boys into a comebacktrysituation, but we never really recovered. Missed tackles, missed lineout takes, missed opportunites

were our anthem of the day and while we were beaten by a stronger team, we never gave up or decided the game was over until it was over. Much like the Irish.

I don't want to sound like a neersayer, as there were excellent plays from Rob, Toad, George, Adam, Hayden (both), Leyts and Gaz and others and they can give themselves a hearty well done, but if we are to compete to the level we should be at, then everyone in the team, including those on the sidelindes needs to pull
finger at training, get to the game on time and play to their best for however long they get on the field. Easy to say, and hard to do. But that's rugby.

The Clubrooms are another area where lack of numbers are a concern, and also our position as hard core speights enthusiasts are coming under scrutiny. Remember boys, beer is our friend.
