Splutter from the Gutter (A tour report)

2008-04-02T20:42:00.000+01:00

(from John)

I spent the weekend on a caravan park,
In the heart of the Dorset moor,
And all I could hear for all of that time,
Was the Pumas and the Panthers roar.

It was Saturday morn and we all had our horns
And to some that was much to their liking
And with our swords and our shields we were starting to feel
We were every inch a Viking.

Mr Brining, coach marshall, had a list with every name
But no-one understood a single word
“Will’t thowt get on’t kerch”, he said “It’s the blerr thing erver therr”
And people drifted on board.

“Are you sure that you’re sure, that your name is Clive Shaw
Cos departure time does apprerch
And you’re wasting my time and the people behind
So, Is there a Clive Shaw on this kerch?”

Sandford and Wareham were all farming stock
They were big and it looked quite a match
They’d bred them tall and they’d bred them wide
But they hadn’t bred them to catch.

Ellis had a run, round in circles I remember
Then he kicked the ball away
But then he scored a hat-trick so his mum was fined a pound
And that would surely make her day.

Then over the line to the cheers of crowd
Dived the figure of a sprightly fellow
And all of them whooped as they came to realise
It was a first for the mighty Caio Belo.

Then Ruislip were next, kidding Mr. Hitler
A few lucky tries sealed our fate
But it didn’t really matter cos it was after beer o’clock
We were due in the bar and we were late.

Later it rained and it would not go away
The weather that day really stunk
But on the other hand it was a good excuse
For staying indoors and getting drunk.

Into the pool for an afternoon dip
And a chance to give the coaches a splash
And not to forget the afternoon spent
In fleecing the arcade of its cash

And then to the pub for beer and for chips
To chill out with some tasty snacks
But no, Judge Cowell convened his court
And that was no time to relax.

The learned Mr. Griffin plied his trade at the bar
No misdemeanour went overlooked
If Mrs Hales was dispatched to bring you to the judge
Well basically….you were cooked.

The crimes were gruesome and justice was dispatched
With neither pity nor remorse
And pints were sunk, with a chilli in addition
And a handful of crackers of course.

With parents down the road, the kids could run wild
Running rings round the security guard
He'd tried to remove them from the ball pool
And he'd threatened the yellow card

Jumping off balconies, to escape his grasp
They were caught, but showed no remorse
When asked which team they all played for
They answered, "Ruislip, of course".

Cometh the hour, cometh the man
Cometh the hour forward, cometh twenty tired players
Beaten by Bournemouth, New Milton and the Cornish
And we failed to be Welsh dragon slayers.

Mr. A was the ref, a bit blind, it is alleged
Made up the rules, technically speakin
He gave away a penalty for a very strange offence
The player was sporting a Mohican.

But who can complain when the sun’s in the sky
And all are relaxed in manner
Who needs a parrot when the cheerleaders sing
And you unfurl the brand new banner.

Give us a T, and a W, and an I. C. K.
Give us an E and an H.A.M.
But please can you promise that whatever you do
Next time, can we also have an “N”.

The tour is a laugh and you’re not supposed to win
Just as well, cos we only scored one
But could we have enjoyed ourselves just a little more
Well maybe, if we’d only scored None.

I spent the weekend on a caravan park,
And I can’t wait for next year’s tour,
For the sport and the laughs and maybe some drinks,
And the Pumas and the Panthers roar.

What a great day!! Medals all round

Firstly I like to say how proud I am of you all. We gave our best showing at a tournament ever. The Pumas won the Team development shield and the Panthers came runners up in the bowl final.

New players George, Jake and Dean played superbly fitting into the team brilliantly. Duggie had a storming game tackling everything that moved. The whole team played for each other and as one of the Puma's coaches I was incredibly happy. We have had some difficult times at festivals, but with draws against Roslyn Park B's and Hackney Bulls, the only loss of the day was to Teddington. Sunday showed how much you guys have improved and you should all feel very proud.

The Panthers were unlucky to be beaten in the second pool game against Ruislip with them scoring during the last play of the game. The Ref commented on what a great game both teams had played. In the Quarter final we beat Saracens 28-0 which was a fantastic result. After going behind by a try in the semi final against Teddington the boys battled away. Smellis, oops sorry, Ellis held his nerve to convert the try making us 7-5 winners. In the final against London Welsh we held out well. Welsh were a great team and played good rugby beating us and winning the bowl.

Once again we are extremely proud of you all.

Tour

On Friday the 28^th March the minis are going on tour, for the guys that are not touring there probably won't be any rugby that weekend. Margaret and Sam have ordered the boys that are going on tour hoodies and bags. If you are not coming on tour and wish to purchase any of these items please speak to either of them this weekend.

See you all on Sunday.

A Plate for the Pumas!

2008-03-09T17:52:00.001Z

Well done to the Pumas who won the Plate in the C Tournament at Imber Court today

In a closely contested final they beat Rosslyn Park by 1 try to 0, the try scored by Alex. Congratulations to the whole team who played with massive commitment in every game.

In the A tournament the Panthers fought valiantly through a tough draw to make the final of the Bowl, where they went down to London Welsh.

Well do to both teams, for an excellent tournament.

More Later..
