Thanks to the lads who dusted off the boots, blew away the cobwebs and had a run against  BOBS and St. Pats at Turramurra Oval this weekend.

We had about 35 guys play in 4 halves against BOBS and St Pats.  For what it is worth, we won 3 out of 4 halves. The half we lost was to a well prepare BOBS second grade side. 

The silky skills were on show with some standouts - Wardy's sea-gulling runs, Little Wardy all over the park, Leon's 2 try haul, Gus' line break and dash (see below), Jacques hunting and pilfering like Olivier Magne, 3 halves from O'Brien including 2 back as WBH.

However fitness and missed first up tackles showed toward the end of each half.  It confirms that we all need to get to training so we can get some fitness and combinations happening prior to first round.

Thanks to RG and Ray for running the show - and the Oracle and Ando for making an appearance on the sidelines despite carrying various tropical diseases after their sojourn to Manilla.

Bad luck to Gus who earned a trip in a ambulance after couldn't keep his hip in its socket.  He popped it after been pulled down inches short of a try after a marauding 80m run.  Hope it recovers as quick as possible as many props available as we can..

Looking forward to getting down to business in a fortnight's time at BOBS stadium and giving them a chance to taste first division defeat and a RED RINSE for the first round of 2007

Grats
