If you’re not a numbers man I’ll break it down for you: we’re off to a great start in 2012. Now let’s not get ahead of ourselves, it’s only round 5, Mosman and Barker are not title contenders, but the potential is there. The effort is there. The belief is there. Let’s bring it all together.

The Reddies had a dream run against Barker on Saturday. 5s got up in a tight one. The Nuts and Bolts kept Barker to nil. 4s continued their perfect start. 3s got a well deserved win. 2s nearly notched up a half tonne and 1s fought out a tough win despite being down to 13 men at one stage. It was pleasing to watch, albeit a bit touch and go at some stages, but the boys got the job done and we left Turramurra with the points.

Now for the dot points (insert night rider theme music):

• Who am I? Which Redman woke up in the bed of last night’s fling late on Saturday morning in the eastern suburbs, without a lift to the game, running late for his game and managed to convince said fling to drive him all the way to Turramurra, watch his game, and then drive him all the way home to Bondi... She sounds like a keeper.
• Thursday 17^th May: Our mates at Carbon Trade Exchange are putting on a club night at the Forbes Hotel (cnr King and York) on Thursday 17^th May to launch their sponsorship with the club. This night is open to all past and present players, supporters and friends of OIRFC. Drinks and nibbles provided. Get there.
• Boat Cruise! It’s on a boat. Saturday 26^th May. Fellas put your leave passes in now. Shenanigans will ensue. More details to be released soon.
• Australia vs Wales: OIRFC have purchase 60 tickets at $49 a pop for the test on 23^rd June at the SFS (i.e. not out at farking Homebush). Register your interest with Baz at training. It will be a first in best dressed policy – money talks boys! Pay your subs at the same time if you haven’t done so already.
• Where will we be Thursday May 10/17/24? The Crowie (OIRFC sponsor) is hosting Miss North Shore Pole Princess. You’ve probably already stopped ready this and have found the flyer below. I will stop talking now.

See you at training.

Yours in red,

Birdman
OIRFC CLUB CAPTAIN
