Hi Guys,

Rugby date 27/2/10 home against Tarleton 2's score 0-29

Blackburn 3's shock drubbing for absent skipper, what a shock result for the team even with the one man recking machine at loose head called Barclay. Who I hear was breaking prop forwards for fun again, he says he hasn't had so much fun since allegedly breaking Baz Baron's jaw. As I was away on official business, watching the England team for possible third team players, none worthy of the position though sadly. I left the team in the capable hands of manager and new father P.G. With what looked like a decent team on paper, I felt confident that we could put up a good show and maybe record a second win of the year. The lads in the team took the game straight to Tarleton, and put early pressure on the visitors. But maybe if Tarleton 1's had had a game we may have had a different result. It was soon obvious that Tarleton had travelled well, and ran in a try from their half after all the early pressure Blackburn had put them under. The regular stalwarts in the team making numerous tackles in defence but Tarleton where to strong and the points kept on ticking up. Dave O'sullivan was awarded m.o.m for his valiant efforts by P.G. And the rest of the team should all be patted on the back for the way they kept on going till the end.
In the mean time I was sampling copious amounts of Fullers pride, a local southern brew that makes me wobbly on the legs and slur a lot. It was the best thing the weekend had to offer with the tension caused watching the national side play rugby my grandmother could read, never mind the Irish. The Irish defence was superb as England tried and tried to pick a line through the green wall, only to be overturned on numerous occasions. With the time ticking by England grabbed the lead but then seemed to sit back hoping for a penalty to take them clear, where as Ireland fought to the end stealing the points. With the defeat complete and me a pound lighter having had a bet on who would score the first try. I made a hasty retreat to the pub and continued to drown my sorrows.
Having now recovered from the ale, I look towards next weeks game away against old rivals Preston Grasshoppers. Having called the home fixture off, against Preston this will be our first meeting of the season. I am looking to put the defeat of this week behind us and get on with playing rugby.If all available players could inform me or P.G. as soon as possible. And please remember training on Thursday night lets get back on the winning horse boys.

Regards Carlos (captain).
