Hey, I'm not one to upset the balance of the Force, but after several years of peace in the universe (and several "friendly" fixtures) some might say that darkness may be descending upon us once again, as we kick off the league season with a home fixture against the Evil Empire this coming Saturday.
There a those "peaceniks" who would say that comparing Old Gold to the evil Sith rulers of the galaxy is a little harsh. Well that's what they said on Alderaan. You be the judge:
Black uniforms
A scrum half called R2
A home field crappier than the Dune Seas of Tatooine
Certain members resemble Jabba the Hut
They, erm...live in a Death Star
OK, maybe that last one isn't true, probably, but everyone loves a flimsy Star Wars analogy right? In recent years, while Portland has been plying it's trade in the outer rim of NERFU, Old Gold has been enjoying the cosy atmosphere of D2, and no doubt growing complacent and exposing their thermal exhaust ports.
So if you want to make sure your moisture farm doesn't get ransacked by Storm Troopers and your nether regions don't get carbon frozen, stop kissing your sister and get yourselves to practice both nights this week. Tuesday and Thursday, 6pm at Douglas Street.
Do, or do not, there is no "try".
