GO FORREST! GO FORREST! GO FORREST! RUN FORREST, RUN! NOOOOOO STOP FORREST, STOP!!!!!

Dirty Old Bollocks came out to play. So did their chief accountant or so it seemed by the way he was ticking off the number of reserves we were bringing on. But that's just the end result of the CRFU fucking about with things they still don't understand.

Anyways, Lars lead the team out for his centenary match (100 games, 235 points, 15 years) and showed glimpses of his former skills. Then he came off for a rest. Oh, he had a plausible sounding story about his knee, but I think he just wanted his bed.
Lars's big game, plus last weeks dismal personnel effort brought out huge numbers of which sadly, 8 of the 19 reserves didn't get on the field. That situation will be rectified next week Trouty assured me but it's a situation I'm glad we're in.

Seamus bit the bullet and finally decided to become a permanent member of the Keiths and celebrated by scoring a piss easy try, even my dead grandmother could have scored. Oh wait, he didn't score a piss easy try, he just kept on running until he ran over the dead ball line. All that inbuilt inertia must have dragged him onwards. Nevermind. Poacher and Brian and Freddy and Andy made up for it.

I really loved watching today's match. Keiths I've know for decades were playing well and Keiths I've never met before put in huge efforts. It truely was a great game to watch. The aftermatch shenannigans were equally enjoyable, with a bit of a sing song, some sculls, some no handed sculls and a wee possum scull rounded the day off perfectly.
