CAS expansion

[White line fever]

I will be in touch with you at least at the beginning of next year when the draw is out, if not sooner.

The Knox situation you have outlined doesn't float my boat either.
Just makes us more determined to beat knox, as usual!
That should get some responses!

 

[White line fever]

Dick, another great Aloys character who should come along is Mick O'brien!
Along with your bulldog prop and anyone else you can muster.

 

[richard powell]

the bulldog prop is Gus Ticehurst who ended up playing for Norths 1st grade for a number of years and could drink like there was no tomorrow and Mick O'Brien actually went to St. Leos (everyone I know thought he went to Aloys) and is now a lawyer in Scone; very funny guy

 

[White line fever]

Yep, that's how I remember Gus!
Funny about Mick, maybe because he hung around with you guys, I think!
Anyway have a think about who might/can make the game, and I will likewise.
The trick here will be plenty of notice, I recon I can probably get 5-7, some are geographically impossible, probably the same for some of your guys.

Guys I do remember were Stephen C. your excellent lanky break away, your brilliant fullback, 5/8, and of course Mark B, my man at outside centre!
But also anyone else you think.

Can't remember all their names maybe you can remind me.

Hi Dick,

The 2017 Rugby draw just came out from Waverley.

We play Aloys on Sat June 3 at QP, 3.15pm, there is not a second round anymore, the home and away comp has ended, good in my opinion.

We could catch up for lunch first at the Robin Hood Hotel just 100m up the road first, if you like.

I know this is early notice but time creeps up as you know, so probably best to float this out now and have people lock it in.

I think I can probably get half a dozen, over to you.

DH.

In 1979 I played cricket and rugby against St Aloysius, but also went there in the debating team. I distinctly remember there was graffiti all over the place saying "Gus is a Nazi". Never figured out why.

 

[Snort]

Incidentally, while we're on a nostalgia trip - the funniest moment of the 1979 season. It was the afternoon tea after the match in which Trinity drew 14-14 with Waverley at Queen's Park. Actually that in itself was pretty funny - Waverley went into the game assuming that if 28 points were scored in the game, they'd score them all. So Brother Murphy was standing there giving everyone the Glare of Death, and Andrew Ugarte had to make a speech. Ugarte: very handy prop, Australian Schoolboys, very mobile. As a speechmaker? Not so hot. So someone, I always assumed John Coorey, wrote his after-match speeches for him. Ugarte reached into his blazer pocket, pulled out his speech, and started reading: "Brother Berg..." Coorey gave him a jab in the ribs. "Berg is St Pats! That's from last week!" There was then a second or two when Ugarte looked stunned, and then he said, "OK. I'll just say what I want to say. There were two teams out there today, and either of them could have won it if they'd wanted to." Baffled silence, especially from the other 29 players who were reasonably sure they'd been trying to win... Then Trinity's captain bounced up and gave exactly the same speech he gave every week, whether we lost 0-28 or.. well, drew 14-14. In full, it went: "Thanks for a great game of footy and I'd like to thank the ladies for the afternoon tea." Post-match speeches were always silly, but never more so than that day.

Snort, just worked it out!

What position did you play in the Trinity 1979 side?

 

[richard powell]

Hi D.H,

Spoke to a few boys on the weekend and I am pretty sure i've got about 8-10 guys for the lunch. I am organising a mini bus so we are going to make a day of it. Fair chance my boy might be playing that day so could make it a bit more interesting, so could be a fun day mate. It will be a good catch up.

cheers
Dick

Do you mean your boy might/should/will be in the 1sts?

I have 2 boys at Waverley but in 14's and 12's.

I was Second Row or Left Right Out - I played more seconds than firsts.

Very funny captions and frighteningly accurate!

Our 16's are average, so your boy should be in with a great chance.

My memories of the game are as follows:

We saw you guys play a couple of strong teams, Terrace and Newington.
Your team was very impressive, we knew that our game was THE game.

Couldn't work out why you guys kept kicking the ball with such a talented and quick backline, but happy to see the ball in the air!

I remember Andrew Quoyle standing me up and smoking me down the side line, luckily Jacko had real speed and was covering!

Don McKensie had a blinder, saved you guys plenty of times, and was a bloody pest.

Clearly a game we all remember!

I have just sent out an email, will keep you informed.

Regards DH.

[exISA]

On the waverly nostalgia trip. When I was at chev, we played waverly u16s and lost 100+ to nil. That team contained Ryan Cross, Adam Freier. I distinctly remember tackling Freier with a good tackle, but came off second best injuring my knee. The next year when our 1st xv played the same vintage we lost 80 odd nil. Ryan Cross was a freak at school and as someone already alluded, was near unstoppable.

 

[Snort]

"Ryan Cross was a freak at school and as someone already alluded, was near unstoppable."

I remember speaking to the Trinity 1st XV coach at that time, the week before the Waverley game, and he assured me, "We've got a plan for Cross." Cross scored four tries. "What happened to the plan?" I asked. "Mate, it worked", was the answer, "he only scored four." He wasn't joking, either.
