Greetings Gentlemen,

Welcome to the first, yet penultimate, Feisty Finals Report.

Straight from the news-room, we’re sad to say that at half-time today the Voltaren Kids found themselves 8 – 0 down against a confident, fired-up and youthful Petersham out at Hawkesbury.

But that was all to change ladies and gentlemen, as the geriatric warriors, your ever-loyal Zimmer-frame-bandits, came home strong in the 2nd-half to post a 22 – 8 win. Woo hoo!

Thanks to: Welshy, Pickle, Coops, Iain Tuipupu Davison, Kieren ‘…orightyafokkor…oim in’ O’Hegarty, Andy, Buzz, Hansy Boy (now at 4.0 children), Gav, Little Sull, Slutty, The Riddler, Dave, Dame Enda, Pat, Mick, Sean, Mick, Matty Mac, Tommy B, Super-coach Jaquesy & his able-assistant Captain Mannering-Smith.

That sees your Feisty-Friends Grand-Final bound with a week or R-and-R to mend, heal and recuperate.

We’ll be playing the winner of Petersham and Blue Mountains. Let’s hope they belt ‘da’fokkin’ shite’ out of each other next Saturday!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to try and yell louder than Dr Fokker, and we hope to see you all at the Grand Final in a couple of weeks.

The Dirty ‘T’ Word

Le Grand Final

Norford Park, Sefton (Off Boundary Rd) on the 11th September.

Kick off is a staggering 10.30 am!

That means we need to be out there well before 9.30am. So no trivia-nights, all-night-raves or grog-fueled family get-togethers the night before please.

W.A.R. Bride founding members, even as we speak, are gathering the blue-and-gold apparel ready to cheer on The Feisty 4th’s to finals victory.

If you can make it, we’d love to see you all there.

And for some it’s the last hurrah, so come on down for a final time. Guaranteed we’ll be giving it our all.

Rest assured there are plans afoot to ’socialise’ in the hours following. Stay tuned. All welcome.

Lots of love,

Roy, David and David

Post Victory Grrrr…..

Stand back ladies, it’s merely post-game hydro-therapy and beer-fueled psychology working its magic ready for the Grand Final!

Greetings Gentlemen,

Welcome to a very special match report… the one that finds your Feisty-Friends Minor Premiers for 2010! Woo hoo!

That’s right, after a hard-fought effort against a broad cross-section of Merrylands finest (oh yes… they threw everything at us!), the boys in Blue-and-Gold brought home the bacon with a 11 – 7 win.

And didn’t it feel good… great… triumphant even…

As the Good Doctor declared “Dat means we’re’da 58th best fookin’ team in dahola’Sydney! Fok-yeah! Takedat ya fokkers! Champion effort!”

Thanks to, from the back, for the final time: Tommy B, Sean, Mick, Matty-Mac, Pat, Enda, The Riddler, Slutty, Little Sull, Iain Tuipupu Davison, Kieren ‘Orrightyafokker I’m In’ O’Hegarty, Hansy Boy, Buzz, Andy, Coops, Ady, Pickle and Welshy. Well played.

Now, down to business.

Don’s Party…

…was a huge success. Jaquesy’s Bar & Grill proved itself to be simply the finest establishment on the North Shore last! Saturday evening.

Thanks to Cindy and ‘The Don’ for hosting a wonderful night.

And the bar itself… fantastic… And christened admirably with a selection of front-rowers dispersing liquids well into the wee hours. What hangover?

The Finals Squad and Run-On Team…

… will be announced at training on Thursday night.

What can we say… be there… 7pm sharp… no excuses.

You know where.

Semi Final #1 Details…

…kick-off is EARLY… 11.20 to be precise.

Venue is DEERUBBIN PARK, Cornwallis Rd, Windsor… or as we know it, the paddock over the back from Hawkesbury Valley’s home ground.

Be there at 10.15 please… and bring your drivers licence ! / I.D.

There’s a palaver to go through, so! don’t be late!

And most importantly… come to win! Start thinking about it now gentlemen.

It is always difficult at this time of the season if you are not in running for the semis and with an extensive injury toll to remain competitive.

However we have two games remaining and our objective should be to put in maximum effort.We are only playing for pride but that is enough.

As the score indicates we were never really in the game. We were our own worst enemies.I not sure what the penalty count was but I would think it would have been a ratio of 3 to 1 against.
Iam positive that if we had reduced the penalties the score would have been a lot closer.
There is no point in blaming the Ref. and certainly no benefit in disputing decisions.

These and other incidents during the game just demonstrated the lack of discipline shown by some players which to say the least had a negative impact on our performance.

The good news is though disipline comes from concentration and by doing this we will be a more competitive team.

In all fairness to the players though it is difficult to function as a team to with the personel changing dramatically from week to week.

Thanks to our mates from Terrey Hills and ths Ferrets for helping out and as these guys are available for our last two games the team should be a little more settled.

A positive from Saturdays game is we did not have to borrow to many players only Elvis had to play a full two games and Keith came on for an injured Jono Rohanna.thanks to those guys.Also thanks to our 3rd graders who helped out the 2s.

Points
3 Matt Gibbs
2 Andy Carroll
1 Liam Casey. Well done Liam your best game this year.

Only 2 games to go lets really put in it would be fantastic if we could grab a win before we finish.

The third last game of the season against Petersham the 2009 Second Grade Premiers.

Well, possibly a game of two halves, we won’t talk about the first half but concentrate on the second.

Players picked up their work rate and their tackling commitment and held Petersham out for only two tries. It may not sound a lot but a lot of the seconds had already participated in the Third grade game plus playing with fourteen men due to non contesting of scrums with Simmo out crook. Who would’ve thought props and! hookers could be so important!

Thanks go to Tristan, Andy Carroll,Elvis, Matt Gibbes and Liam for doubling up.

Standout efforts were from Daniel and Paul Gibbes in the backs (El Masri school of goal kicking for you Mr Gibbes) Justin Cook and Jon White in the forwards as well as Keith Bromwich (tackle around the waist Keith).

It was always going to be tough against Petersham but second grade kept at it and a fair bit of ticker was shown in the end.

We’ll get ‘em next time.

See you at training,weather permitting.

Supercoach.
