Ní féidir leat a bheith ró-go leor fir Éireannacha i do fhoireann.
Let's just get one thing clear, and it's the same thing I've been saying since Jesus was a carpenter's apprentice, we don't need a referee to win, or to lose us the game. We just need one to be there and to do his/her best. Also one who understands enough about physics to know what forward motion is.

Can we talk about the starting back line for a moment and mention that not a single player had more than 10 Keith games under their belt with most of them under 5; or we can talk about how fantastic they were. Blake's an able replacement for Webby, Brian and Brett combined well with Dick Power at the back.
And in the forwards, Lachie made his mark and Colin has a worthy Keith snapping at his position in the team.

Div 4 teams are always tough, but it's strength of character, fitness and the discipline that the Keiths have that make us a feared Team in either Div 4 or Classics grades. This proved again, to be the case today. We didn't start perfectly, but we recognised where we were going wrong and corrected it, to make us scrum better, lineout better, break through their backline better, and tactically kick better. The starting 15 and the reserves can be proud of themselves today. Except for Paddy. he didn't play.

To the New Boys, if you feel you've made the right team choice, then we welcome you with open arms and know you wont regret it. If you feel the Keiths aren't for you, we wish you good fortune in your rugby career.
To the Old Coves, I know most of your bodies are breaking down, but we still need you and still want you and your experience.
To the rest of the Keiths; keep coming back. We're in this together and we can go all the way with your help.
