From the Field:
With a bit of rain this week, the grounds are a bit wet so bring your gumboots for Saturday. Craig ‘Monkey’ Munro will be running the touch for the big game so any helpful pointers will be well received…
With the promise of a post-game pie and beer, we coaxed David ‘Crazy’ Hall to make a return to the field this weekend. Crazy has been coaching Boys High 1st XV this season and with the unavailability of regular starting hooker and the writers need to distance himself from playing premier rugby we have been very fortunate to get the man who made his premier debut for the club in 1999 to have a trot.
