Derby Day has arrived: Shebeen Boys Vs Galetti Fourths.com

May 27, 2010 15 Comments

Dear Shebeen,

It has come a little bit earlier than expected this year. And with very little trash talk from the Fourths.com (surprisingly). Perhaps their egos are a bit bruised after last year’s game where Shebeen pushed the Fourths.com for the duration, eventually going down in a nailbiting 10-7 ballgame. I do not think I was the only one that noted the huge relief on the oppositions’ faces when that final whistle went…

So, it has fallen on us this year to host this derby game on The Green Mile, and it is going to be epic…

The Tale of the Tape

Last year, the Fourths were adamant that their bulkier forward unit were going to flatten our smaller, more mobile pack. Although they enjoyed unrivalled lineout ball (Thanks in no part to Shebeen treasurer and 18 foot monster jumper, Wazza), the Shebeen scrum and open play held its own and at times dominated the over- confident Village outfit. This year should be much the same, with a few well drafted additions strengthening the Shebeen forwards considerably. It should be a long day for the Fourths forwards.

For the backs, the opposition were convinced the Shebeen lineup were a one trick horse, with Chunderboy Rood being the only player on their radar. So it came as a surprise when Devon showed every one of them a clean pair of heels time and again. This year Shebeen have a backline that should make our rivals more than a little nervous. In any event, we now boast an International and I doubt any of them have played against a mythical creature before…

Starting Lineup

2 Kyle

3 Trevor

So boys and girls, it is time to get prepped for a huge game on our calendar. Having started the year out very well with a solid win on the cricket field, let’s make it a clean sweep of victories over The Fourths.com for 2010… Let’s add Saturday’s title our trophy cabinet…

Players must meet at The Shebeen at 12:40 0n Saturday. Please do not be late! Supporters should go straight to the B field but make sure players go to The Shebeen first

See you all there!

    there’s been no trash talk cos you beenie girls have only just posted the article in which to trash talk

    the only reason the game was so close last year was obvious! (hands are not allowed in the ruck SIV!!!! and the tackler must release SIV!!!!!!)

    What a billing. The tale of the tape says it all. Now it is about separating the men from the mice.

    Come on Fourths, you beauties!

    Who the hell loads a post of Woody Allen above the most current and biggest thing to hit Shebeen in the last 6 months?
