WHO'S GOING TO WIN THE FINAL? KEITHS OR CRUSADERS. OH WAIT ...



Last weekend we stepped up to the plate to defeat our good friends Linwood. This week we stepped up to the plate, dusted it down and gave it a good hard shake to win against Belfast Div 4.
Everyone we had spoken to told us that the Freezingworkers would be knocking us off our top spot, but just quietly, we didn't believe them. Trouty and Lars believed in us instead and picked a team to do the job; with reserves to back everybody up.
And do the job we did.

The forwards soon found the Belfast front row weren't up to much and the backs soon realised that their backline was gaping full of holes.

But, and there always is one, we made an inordinate amount of basic handling mistakes worthy of an Under 12 side. If it was nerves or not enough weetbix this morning for breakfast, it lasted most of the 1st half and part of the 2nd. She wasn't all doom and gloom however. A.J., Toad and Rob provided excellent Keithly tackling and breaks, with Gulls, Kyle and Paddy doing it hard out in the deep.


Muncher and Rich provided good lineout ball with H, Rich, Baz, Kev and Colin making full use of their size and strength to control the loose ball.
Fred provided the mongrel in the front row with Unit, Piez and Matt putting in the hard work.

Mum was her usual vocal self, and spent quite a bit of time asking the ref if he needed his guide dog as he didn't always seem
to know what the offside rule looked like in practice. Trouty too seemed to be a bit perturbed by some decisions, but in the end, we don't need a ref to win a game for us. We just need to score more points than the opposition. Which we did.

Where everyone was after the game was a mystery, but you have to be there to see to hot police women and drink cold beer.
