Old Mould coming to town

Thanks to Old Gold's shite planning, and even shiter communication an unfortunate mix up, it's been determined that the best venue to hold this weekend's game is actually going to be here in Portland. Well, at the Fairgrounds (pictured above) to be precise. So, adjust your weekend plans accordingly, knowing that you'll get a lie in on Saturday.

In order to prepare yourself for the home opener you can start off with Ballys tomorrow night for the last of those joyous fitness sessions. An hour's work, starting at 8 o'clock, to complete your transformation into a man of steel.

Next up is Thursday, where Fitzy has been set aside between 7 and 8. That's just an hour of field time so we'll be starting thing's off at 6:30 for a quick session on the track. Bring your running shoes.

The last thing you can do is complete your CIPP registration. Petulent whining from Old Gold notwithstanding, it is actually required to have some players registered in order to look respectible. At the time of writing we have just 8 of you registered, and one of those is stationed in Iraq. That's pretty pitiful. All you have to do is go to USA Rugby and then follow the links under "Join USA Rugby" or "Renewing Membership" depending on your situation. It'll set you back a mere $35 and last you all year. Please, get it done.

So to recap, that's Ballys @ 8 on Tuesday, Fitzy @ 6:30 on Thursday, Fairgrounds on Saturday and you on the USA Rugby website right now. Hooah?
