Caravan Of Love

…brotherly love, that is.

This Saturday promises to have a festive air about it, thanks in no small part to the large prescription of bustrip that has been prescribed to all for our trip to Amesbury (FDA Warning: side effects may include nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, tone deafness, sleeping in the spare room, “bus itch”, amnesia and loss of dignity). The ride promises to be a good one as the Old Boys join us and share their wisdom and war stories. I’m sure you’ll agree that this’ll make a nice change from the wisdom and war stories shared by the regular old geezers who play for us.

Once at the ground the rugby will already be in full swing, with our old pals Seacoast taking on the Mountaineers and no doubt leaving right afterwards for an early night. A few of the older ones should be allowed to stay up late though, as they mingle with our own Old Boys for some kind of kick around scheduled for 4pm.

Then comes the headliner at 5:30, when the Portland boys take on Middlesex Barbarians (What’s in youer wallet?) under the lights and seek to finish the regular season with a clean sheet. It’s been many a year since the club has had something to smile about, and even if it did taking getting sent down to D3 to get here, there is a true sense of history in the making. So, just like Woodstock, Game 7 of last year’s ALCS, the ’66 World Cup Final and that time Joey fell off the picnic table, do you want to hear about it from others for years to come or do you want to say “I was there”?

Be at the "real" Park 'n' Ride across from Bally's at 1:30pm and bring $20 on top of your regular pocket money to help pay for your prescription.
