Thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine. I am pretty sure a very good friend was looking down on the Crocodiles on Saturday, with a big grin on his face as we began to devour Guys and showing all the Angels his Shark bite. Lew Barnet, we know you were there!

There’s far too much arty-farty, namby-pamby, hoity-toity, wishy-washy, lardy-dardy,sun-dried tomato eating, decaffeinated fannying about applied to the game of Rugby, but not in this side.

The conditions were perfect as was the pitch thanks to @Tim Gunner Tim Gunner and Peter Martin (Groundsman)

Pre match was a little stressful with some late withdrawals and late arrivals, but in true Combe spirt a good storyteller never lets the facts get in the way.

As we were determined to keep our exciting open play rugby going, with a rumbling pack @Danny Sulluvan Danny “Billy Whizz” Sullivan was quick open the score after 8 minutes with a try in corner, long time coming but well worth the wait, top player. Took a while to get back to our game after that, but then “The Silent Assassin” @Darren Ferret Darren Ferret awoke with a barn storming run to the try line. This stirred the Crocs into some devasting phases of play, and the floodgates were leaking. Billy “I have a body of an eighteen-year-old. I keep it in the fridge.” Bignell @Billy Bignell applied his subtle get out of mu way for third try of the half.

At this point I must say that Jimmy “I’ll play anywhere after a dump” Bignell @Jimmy Bignell was excellent at hooker, I am sure it’s a first for Flyhalf to take one off the head on the first scrum.

Second half was a little quit from the Crocs, mainly due to the exceptional defence of Guy’s who never gave up, top lads. Unfortunately, this came at a cost and Crocs damaged 2 of Guys in the same passage of play, but in true Combe spirit “The Silent Assassin” Darren Ferret @Darren Ferret and “Wing prop” Owen Humphreys @Owen Humprey stepped up to play the last 15 minutes for them. Thank you, lads.
We also welcomed Ben Assender @Ben Assender to the side, for his first ever game of rugby, and what a start a top try saving tackle and no mistakes, what a great start Ben. If Carlsberg did new rugby players, you would be it.

Scoring resumed with a typical scamper over the line from @Ollie Walker Walke “The Terrier” Ollie Walker, quickly followed by “Stop me if can” run from our stalwart Jack Woodhouse @Jack Woodhouse , shortly followed by “The Warship” Jack Harvey @Jack Harvey carving up the middle to score. The game done we thought but “The Enforcer” Rob Lee @Rob Lee realised he was not on the score sheet and promptly rectified that oversite scoring under the posts.

Our referee was a delight probably best this season, many thanks to Harry Hopkins.
Police arrested two Crocodile yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

And we need to mention “The Terrier” Ollie Walker @Ollie Walker Walke for converting 6 out of 9 tries, and @Paddy Dudley for a great 60 minutes, before going to help the 2nd's out, good man.

As a team an all-round top performance by all It's the behaviour of our players that form our reputation, and our reputation is our Club Gentleman
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you got
Taking a break from all your worries
It sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to play?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
The troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
You want to go where people know
The people are all the same
You want to go where everybody knows your name
