SOCIALIST WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE AGAINST THE CAPITALIST HORDES



Now some of you out there, particularly you Old Coves from years past, may not believe what you're about to read, but I can assure you, it is all true.
In the 34 years since Keith was founded there has never been a played named Keith in the team. Until today. Even though he was a guest player on loan from Division 2, we acknowledge Keith QUIGLEY's parents choice of christian name, and thank them.
Not to be outdone, today was the 1st time there was a second generation Keith playing in the team. Woah, hold up fat boy some of you may be saying, what about Dale EATHORNE? I remember that game at Straven Road to celebrate our 21st birthday. That wasn't a competition game and no records were kept for it. So officially, Karl HADDOCK is 1st 2nd generation Keith. Hopefully soon, he'll get a game playing alongside his father.

Freddy and Chief and Toad stepped up and stepped into Trouty's shoes for the day while he was away in Dunedin. Luckily we had players to choose from thanks to Division 2. Without them we would have been seriously short of players. I'm sure they all enjoyed the game.
Sydenham took the same game plan that Linwood took last week, take it to us and score some first half points. We then took our game plan in the second half, but fell slightly short of pegging them back.
There were a lot of excellent forward plays, including the one where Will went Boof! and Sam, with his parents watching, went Score! And there were some individual plays of brilliance. However, there were too many periods where indecision and simply not looking around for support cost us ground and penalties. Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes for next weeks game.

It was a lovely sound to hear three Irish accents on the field, and luckily we'll keep hearing them. We've collected a good group of lads together, with a wide range of centurions, seasoned players and New Boys and nothing pleases me more to see them with heads held high even after a loss.
Training on Thursday, followed by beers at Keasty's.

Oh, and pay your fucking subs!!
