OIU BBQ - need workers today please

ATTENTION REDMEN...YOU ARE NEEDED!!!


Old Iggies Rugby Players are needed tomorrow to help with the OIU BBQ at the Gold Cup.

Can each manager from this year past – email their teams and get a few guys to help.
2 from each team would be 12 helpers and a great assistance to the BBQ.

FACTS:
· The Old Ignatians’ Union (OIU) is our LARGEST SPONSOR
· Without the OIU your subs will go up by $1,000 per team
· The OIU BBQ is normally run every Home GPS Game (this clashes with our own games so the other OISA clubs, Waterpolo, Cricket, Soccer pick up the slack)
· It is not too much to ask for a couple of hours to show our appreciation.

REQUIRED:
Each team needs to email their squad and ask for at least 2 players to assist tomorrow

Colts & 5th Grade Chilly Progression to the Big Dance

Back in 1999 I remember the cold July Wednesday night trainings, for two reasons:

(1) it was the last time I went to training

(2) the cuts and bruises of friendly fire during the “Chill Drill”

I move forward 13 years to this weekend’s finals:

The tale of two teams:

Two Old Iggies Teams – with a shared passion and never give up attitude.

Two Old Iggies Teams – separated only by an average age difference of say 15 years

The story begins:

The Clock: 5 minutes to go 

Old Iggies Colts 15 St Pats 22 - trail by 7

Old Iggies 5ths 8 Beecroft 10 - trail by 2

Like echoes from the past, the call came to "CHILL IT".

. . . a darkness falls over the sunny David Phillips field

. . . the degrees plummeted

. . . the crowd fades as a mist folds in

. . . we regress back to a cold Wednesday night and a good old fashioned “slog up the guts”.   

“Pick and Drive!        Chill it..... Chill it..... Chill it.”

The Clock: 4 minutes 15 metres out

“Chill it..... Chill it..... Chill it.”

Young Maxy catapults his body through the St Pats advantage line for another few metres. 

Gav knocks over eleven billion Beecroft forwards to inch forward five metres.

“Chill it..... Chill it..... Chill it.”

The Clock: 3 minutes 10 metres out. 

“Chill it..... Chill it..... Chill it.”

The Clock: 2 minutes 5 metres out

Another St Pats penalty in front of the sticks, 7 points down, a quick tap, up the guts, “Chill it again”

Beecroft steal the ball and we go backwards 20 metres . . . .  “Chill it again”

. . . the clouds now shroud the sun

. . . the crowd shivers

. . . and mumble a faint, distinct chant

 “Chill it again..... Chill it again..... Chill it again”

The Clock: 1 minute 5 metres out

Colts edge it forward, inch by inch by inch by inch  . . . . . . . . . . . . .  & finally we go OVER !!!!!

Score 20-22 with a kick to come

5^th Grade edge forward, inch by inch by inch by inch  . . . . . . . . . . . . .  “Hands in the Ruck”

Score 8-10 with a kick to come

Both Old Iggies teams have a kick from 20 metres out at 45 degrees and time is up.

. . . the sun cowers away, unable to watch

. . . the crowd pucker from the cold

. . . there is complete silence

Colts . . . .  conversion . . . .  it is over  . . . .  22 all is enough to progress to the big dance

YOU LITTLE BEAUTY !!!!!

Ben King lines up his kick

. . . the sun sneaks a look from behind a cloud

. . . rays of sunlight warm the face

. . . yet the crowd  . . . . silent, motionless and preying . . . .  the Mantis steps in and strikes . . .  IT IS OVER . . . . .

YOU LITTLE BEAUTY !!!!!

Next Week – The Big Dance at TG Milner

Colts v Knox OB

4^th Grade V Colleagues

5^th Grade V Knox OB

See you there
