Saudi Arabia beat France (who really had no business being there) about 9 - Nil. France got a straight red in the first half.
Africa beat Japan 3 - 1. Japan showed well and would be a decent team in the tournament, but were up against a tough opponent last night. Hopefully they come back to try...
The body is still not back to 100% just yet, after a tough weekend of playing and organizing the event.
To all who attended and/or played in the tournament, thank you for your ongoing particpation and support. We put a lot of hard work into making the tournament happen but at the end of the...
Just a quick note to all ... as organizers of the event we listen to suggestions and are open to constructive input to make the tourney better every year. We're already contemplating some new ideas to improve the event. It's a lot of work, but always well worth it in the end. It really comes...
Brilliant stuff bluenose .. I reckon the Scottish O-30's should all have a look at that as inspiration before this year's tournament. After getting caugh off guard by the eventual winners in the first 20 minutes of the opening match last year, I'd like to see us get another chance at Italy ...
Re: VMSL Masters November 2006 Banter/Results
I think we all thought the game wasn't going to get played. Not exactly ideal for anyone's game preparation. Anyway, fairly evenly played game, and fair result for SU.
As a newbie to the O-35s, nice to play against familiar faces, and several...
Quick comment from a crusty old RUFC codger who’s played in several match-ups against Club I over the years …
Having moved on to the “masters” division now, it was tough to have to stand on the touchline and not be a part of the classic Richmond derby.
But I think many of us who were a...
Yes, the 50/50 prize money was claimed ... about $300.00 ... He must have been a popular lad when he got back in the beer garden.
Speaking on behalf of the organizers, I'd like to thank everyone who attended and/or participated this year's tournament. Leading up to this year's tournament...
Cheers Knvb. I thought for sure we'd hear from you during the program.
Good question about the groups ... sadly, no ... nothing was written down. Last night's draw was purely artificial in order to give the illusion that the draw is not fixed. We'll now proceed with the actual draw behind...
RUFC 2 - 1 Lobbans
Not a particularly interesting match to watch (I can say that because I did in fact watch) but I'd suggest a fair result. RUFC went up 1 - nil early in the first and looked deserved in the scoreline. They (we) then went up 2- nil in the final minutes of the first and seemed...
Keeper,
Far be it from me to be critical of you .. but I highly doubt Canada would have England's "Three Lions" on their chests. Is it possible that he pictures are in fact England vs Ireland?
Valid point. All of the beer garden stuff (for various reasons) was out of our hands. But we intend to take steps to improve the problems you mentioned for next year, if at all possible.
As one of the organizers of the Nations Cup Tournament, I’d like to thank all the participants, officials, volunteers, sponsors, and spectators, for their continued support in helping to make the 26th Annual Nations Cup Tournament a resounding success.
Once again the talent and the attendance...
Ok, I want to be as diplomatic as possible here, because I know and like the two Club I members who have posted here (in fact I like most Club I members), and I understand that we all get defensive when one of our own gets hurt … and contrary to comments made above ... no-one (not even the...
Well Blakey,
Tough to contest who "deserved" a 0 - 0 draw, but for my two bits, I thought RUFC controlled most of play, especially in the first. I though most of the first 45 mins were played in your half. Aside from that, I think you could argue that we pressed for most of the last 10 or...
Congrats to Kate and Mackers! Look forward to seeing all three of you soon!
I'm sure its been a difficult 9 months of binges and cravings, and uncomfortable bloating, but now that the pregnancy is over hopefully you can get yourself back into that fit, svelte self you used to be ... MACKERS...
Captain, would you be kind enough to re-send a copy of the latest email. My server has been down recently and I haven't been able to access my messages. Hopefully I'll then be able to get back to you promptly with some comments.
Cheers.
