Proud dad moment as my son got player of the day. He plays Loosehead Prop so not a position that stands out. He plays Under 11 and because he was too heavy is playing up one grade so is playing with kids a year older. Good that the coach recognised him.

My first car was a 1982 Daihatsu Charade, bought in around 2001 after getting my restricted. Wrote it off after crashing on a sharp corner on a Frosty Foggy morning the day after Queen's Birthday.

Got my Learners Licence after second test (failed verbal) Got my restricted on third test, My main problem was nerves. I sat on my restricted for over ten years. I did a one day course seven years ago and passed for my full licence test first time.

The draws link is handy to find who is playing in other grades. I'm working out where all of my Te Rapa club's players went to from last year.

@ploughboy said in Crusaders v Chiefs:

@Bovidae thought he was named on bench for melville

Through Bovidae's link I have worked out how to find team sheets. TTT was on Melville bench last week.

A short season in the Waikato. Play each other once, no promotion from Division 1 to Premier this year. A lot of Prem B teams were struggling and half the Division 1 clubs are not running a B team. Good to get out and about today. Junior rugby starts after school holidays, going ten weeks. My sons team organised a pre season game today, my son loved being back at it.

@taniwharugby said in Lockdown Check In:

@mariner4life yep it's when I watch the prems I think I could play reserves, cos some of the kids playing prems look huge haha...not to mention not being able to cut it in the prems

I'll stick to my golden oldies

One of our core Presidents players has come back to senior rugby this year, when he last played we were a top side in the Waikato with Richard Kahui a notable player he played alongside. He is 39 this year, a great club man, his business is a big sponsor this year.
