But so far, none have come close to being so magnificent that they are famous for, well, being in a photo… We have a couple of nominations here obviously, which have been wittled down to the final two…

Runner up is a gent that makes his mark on the beaches of Cape Town. A beast of a man with long, curly hair, I can absolutely see why he might be sought after for photoshoots, calendars and whatnot. This man is Shebeen lock, Robert Raw

Well done Rob… But there is another Shebeen schmoooodel that deserves this award. He is a newcomer to the industry. But what an impact this lad is having!! While some languish in the corridors, scoring online photoshoots and small time calendars, this Shebeen Boys has jumped right to the front of the queue, with a photoshoot for…. The cover of the Rolling Stone…

Rich GWorm Stemmet, not only is this the title of a really catchy, 70s song by Dr Hook, but it is also why you are so proudly going to be wearing the pink shorts tomorrow night… Congrats!

Tomorrow we take on the green characters that are the Turtle in the 2011 semi finals. Our team is looking very strong, but so is theirs, so it needs a big effort and a lot of heart on the field from the lads!!

Starting lineup is:

1. Dieter 2. Kyle Wall 3. Bryan

4. Jarrod 5. Rob Raw

6. Ogre 7. Mike VS 8. Baywatch

9. Erin 10. Smeagol (c)

11. Spartan 12. Jean 13. Devzooooo6 14. GWorm

15. Quade Epstein

Reserves:

Trev, Junior, Chabal, Wazza, Sparky Vallance, Noursie, Craig, Ruxton and Bryant

This is a great team lads! Be there at 5:30 for a 6:30 kickoff

Remember to bring kit, subs, fines money, and extra for celebration at the Shebeen after the tunnel

SHEBEEN

Short and sweet this week, as there is no competition for Pink Pants… Though Kyle Smeagol Williamson gave it a bit of a go with his “I have problems, I want to hurt people, so I will get amped and fired to sit on the sideline and not get on the park”, and Matthew Ogre Elsworth definitely deserves a mention for his special performance on Friday night at Le Tigre (If I hear “Rich, you look like you want a tie” again…), there is one clear winner.

This is probably a story best left to the tunnel. But it does involve a girl. And her mum. I won’t say anymore. Oh, and it does involve a window. And other sensitive subjects. But seriously, no more from me, other than…

Karl Baywatch Bergemann, give us some clarity as to what you got up to last week Wednesday…???

Pink Pants are yours for a second week running…

Drinks for this, Mr fines chair!!

SHEBEEN

Tomorrow night we take on Marquard in the QFs of the 2011 Internal league Bowl division. With a bit of a disaster last week with Captain, Pikey Fickling being carted off to hospital, it is time for us to take the field and really let loose. This is the team that will be hurting Marquard come 18:30 tomorrow night…

Forwards

1. Trev 2. Kyle Wall 3. James

4. Chabal 5. Jarrod

6. Siv 7. Mike VS 8. Karl Bergie

9. Erin

10. Smeagol (C)

11. Spartan 12. Ogre 13. Devzooooo6 14. Craig

15. GWorm Stemmet

Reserves:

Bryan, Dieter, Wazza, Vallance, Rob, Rux, Jev, Bryant, Tafa Tafa, Noursie and Andre

This is a seriously strong side! Welcome back to the prodigal son, our very own Captain Smeagol. You will drink for your tardiness this season!!

Have a cracker boys, let Marquard have it!

SHEBEEN

Last week saw Devzo 6 unseated at the top spot in the Pink Rankings by our very own Charna, Quade Epstein (if you missed it, check it out here). This week, we have something a little different… There is the ultimate heads up, single confrontation between the two princesses. But at the end of the day, there is only one candidate worthy of the Pink Pants this week… Let’s get into it:

Princess Showdown:

In the aftermath of the w@nker move from the Smutsmen, there was a little internal game that went off fairly well. Aside from this incident, that is.

Tale of the tape:

Rux “Angry Midget” McClure:    VS         Devon “Devzoooo6″ Van Schalkwyk

Height: 3’5”                                                 Height: A lot taller

Weight: 32.8 kg                                           Weight: A lot heavier

Reach: Just past his nose                            Reach: A lot further

A broken nose and many tears (from both parties) later, these two qualify as our princesses this week. Rux, calm down brother… He’s your teammate! Classic little man syndrome… And Devzo, he’s a midget. Let’s be honest, you need to man up!

As awesome as that little matchup was, we have a special someone that grabs the Pink Pants this week. Known for his bullocking runs from the base of the scrum, his love of his own guns, and a new found dress sense…

Congrats to:

Karl “Baywatch” Bergemann

100 plus Shebeen members just vomited in their own mouths…

A HUGE FINE FOR THIS AFTER THE GAME, PIKEY!!

SHEBEEN

So tonight we take on Ikhaya on the Mile. Meeting at 17:30, kickoff at 18:30 on the B Field.

With a number of ex- Ikhaya players in our ranks, we would seriously like to give them proper carrots, and our team available should be able to deliver this result!

The team for tonight is as follows:

1. Junior

2. Kyle Wall

3. Bryan

4. Jarrod

5. Chabal

6. Siv

7. Mike VS

8. Baywatch Bergie

9. Erin

10. Pikey (c)

11. Ruxton the Giant Killer

12. Andre

13. Ogre

14. Karl Spartan

15. Geriatric JC

On the bench:

Trevor, Boner (TBC), James, Treebeard, Rob Raw, Craig Bestbier, Smeagol (TBC), Ryan Nash

Remember: If you haven’t paid subs, bring that with. Also, bring a bit of cash for fines (and all make an effort to stay, Captain Hosepipe will make your night worthwhile!), and then The Shebeen thereafter!!

Let’s smash ‘em gents, the beer will be so much sweeter that way!

SHEBEEN

This award has not been given nearly enough airtime this season, probably due to me being stuck on the highveld and unable to witness the ridiculousness that gets the nominees noticed. But the pink pants are back!

The Shebeen Boy’s version of the Darwin award, considered actions encompasses anything that earns the receiver ridicule, pity and many a downed beverage… So let’s get into our nominees:

Second Princess:

Though this player has not had much game time for the Shebeen Boys in his career, it is not through lack of trying on the administrative part. However, “my shoulder is buggered” can only be used so many times. Eventually, it is evident that time with females (and by females I mean hairy left palms) takes preference as a Wednesday evening activity. His redeeming moment, however, was when he was named Man of the Match with a momentous performance in the big Shebeen vs Fourths derby earlier this year. Mike VS, good to have you back mate, thought we had lost you for good there.

First Princess:

Blood relation to the second princess, this player is no stranger to the pink pants. But then it is his own fault… While it is usually his off field antics that gets him noticed, this time his unusual lack of ability has caught the selection panel’s eye. Our “blitz” outside centre was reeled and caught by the 2 heavies of the Fourths, Wazza and Milf. Devzo, this is not acceptable… but you are spared this week by our resident personal trainer…

This week, for handing out “Jack 3D” in the change rooms to all of his charnas before the Fourths clash, congrats to…

Jev “Quade” Cooper, boet. The Pink Pants are great because they show off how huge and ripped your legs are charna.

I urge you all to consider one of these three special cases when selecting a pourer tomorrow night!!

SHEBEEN

So as you know, tomorrow we take to the field against Smuts. Historically, our record against them has been very good, and we don’t want this to change tomorrow! We have a very strong squad for the game, so if we all come down ready to smash these poor fellows, all should go well!

Cappie Rood and Coach Pete have asked me to post a list of the players for the match, but not necessarily assign a starting lineup, as the conditions and direction of play will affect this quite heavily, so the available players have been listed in general positions (more than one if applicable):

Forwards:

Front row: Bryan Hansen, Kyle Wall, Dieter Schreiber, Junior Viktor, Jacques the Dutchman (thanks Timpo), Boner Davies

Second row: Baywatch Bergemann, Jarrod Lewin, Chabal Elk, Rob Raw

Loosies: Timpo Vann, Siv Ngesi, Michael van Schalkwyk, Tim Craib, Rob Raw, Baywatch Bergemann

Backline:

Scrummy: Erin Laubscher, Timpo Vann

Fly: Pikey Fickling (C)

Centres: Ogre Elsworth, Devzo6 van Schalkwyk, Anees Pretorius, Spartan Meiring

Wings: Milo Weissenstein, Spartan Meiring, Craig Bestbier, Anees Pretorius

Fullback: Quade Epstein, Just JC

Sweet gents! Remember to stay for fines afterwards, we are saying farewell to one of our stalwarts, so let’s give him a great send off!

Good Luck…

SHEBEEN

It has been a long break for the players. Our last outing was against the old foe, The Windhoek Fourths.com. Much relaxation has taken place, and I am sure many centimeters have been added to waistlines. But this Wednesday marks the beginning of the second half of the internal league season, so time to suck it up, grab your gear and get ready to hurt some humans!

Details of the clash on Wednesday night:

Opponent: Smuts House (they deserve a proper hiding already!)

Venue: UCT Green Mile B Field

Meet time: 16:30

Kick off time: 17:30

What to bring: Kit, R30 for fines, Subs if you have not paid, and a fire for playing some awesome rugby!!

Gents, it is an early game, but please make the effort to be there! Nice fines afterwards to get the festivities going, with a little trip to the Shebeen to finish the evening off!

Let’s smash the Smuts boys like we always should…

SHEBEEN

2011 sees the hosts, the Fourths.com eager to come back from a dismal performance last year by beating the Shebeen Boys at Villagers RFC tomorrow. However, the Shebeen Boys are certainly not going to willingly lay down and take it. Both teams are having mixed seasons, playing wonderful rugby but not getting the results that they deserve.

After a bit of a break, Shebeen will be eager to get back on that field and stretch their legs, hopefully all the way across the line. Team Captain, Shaun “Pikey” Fickling will be leading the team for the first time against the old foe.We see the return of powerhouse centre pairing Devon “Devzo 6″ van Schalkwyk and Matthew “Ogre” Elsworth, along with the comeback of the prodigal son himself, Kyle “Smeagol” Williamson.

With some solid ball from the forwards setting the platform, the Shebeen backline could wreak some major havoc tomorrow.

Here is the full team sheet for the clash:

1. Dieter

2 Kyle Wall

3 Boner

4 Chabal

5 Scott

6 Rob

7 Miles

8 Tim Vann

9 Smeagol

10 Pikey (c)

11 Spartan

12 Ogre

13 Devzooooooooo6
