Yeah, that's right, apparently the logistics of putting on one game of rugby proved too much for the organizers of the Irish festival and our game for the weekend has been cancelled.
Please go about your business of honing yourself into perfect shape for the Fall season.
Dine hearty Spartans!

Summer Doings
While many of you have scattered to the four winds for the summer there's still a core of players meeting every week for a run around and to try and keep in shape. Unlike previous years this is actually a workout rather than the usual game of grab-ass with the women's team. We have coaches Diesel and McCluskey making the effort to make it out and make it productive, so why aren't you? Acton 10's is just around the corner, so let's be havin' you.
The Fall schedule is now over on the right of your screen, and as you can see, the games come thick and fast come September, so expect some serious training by August. To keep you up to speed on what you ought to be doing to stay in shape, get on over to the message board for the latest tips from the coaching staff, as well as the inane ramblings of everyone else.
That's about it for now. Of course, I couldn't let this little gem go by without a mention. Only Old Gold would decide to go on a diet after the Sweet 16. Meanwhile, some of our own stick to their own strict nutritional regime.

Bull Moose Results
Well, nobody seems to be rushing forward with a report from last weekend, but journalistic integrity prevents me from leaving the whole weekend unreported.
Since I wasn't there I have little more to offer than the bare facts below, but perhaps in an outpouring of free speech, those of you who were there could comment-in all the subtle nuances that I've left out.
What I know is that on Saturday Portland was able to dispatch an under-strength Charles River side and a Seacoast team still suffering from some post-menstrual symptoms.
On Sunday, instead of the usual date with Mystic River, some "hired guns" from Springfield had crashed the party and unceremoniously dumped them out of the tournament to pinch their place in the final. Clearly, that proved to be no mere flash in the pan as Springfield's "foreign legion" came out blazing and racked up a comfortable half-time lead. Despite shoring things up for the second half, Portland couldn't mount much of a fight-back, and it all ended 22-5 in their favor.
That's what I know. Thanks to all those who made the trip on Saturday and/or Sunday. Not so much to all those who said they were but never showed.
Comment it up.

Bull Moose Details
From Dan Joyce:
A couple things about this weekend:
With the number of players going up to Bull Moose, playing time is going to be hard to come by. DO NOT let unpaid dues result in you losing time. Get in touch with either Matt or myself (299-3310) to pay your dues or at least to make arrangements for payment. Do not be upset if you are sitting on the sidelines and have not paid your dues. I can't make it any more clear - PAY YOUR DUES.
Schedule is this: Charles River at 9am, Seacoast at 11am
We will try to get another game at some point in the day for those of you who would like more playing time. Hopefully this will be against a regular club and not a motley side - but I cannot promise anything. If for some reason this does not happen, there should be some sides up there looking for players. Do not be shy about seeking them out and suiting up for them. Game experience is better than any practices.
With all this being said, the more players making this trip the better. It sounds like it is going to be a great tourney this year and should be a lot of fun. We are going up there to win this thing but also to have a good time. So don't let anything I said above deter you from coming along. Below is some info about the tournament - directions, specials, etc.
REMEMBER: The games are in the town of N Conway this year, not Attitash.
I look forward to seeing everyone up there.

Directions
From the South or East: Take routes 16 & 302 into North Conway Village. As you approach the Village via the shopping strip you will see a Sunoco Gas Station on your left and TD Bank North on your right. Immediately after the Sunoco you will see White Birch Books and an Antique Shop on the left. Just pass the Antique Shop you will see a Police Officer and a couple of our player’s kids directing you to parking and the pitches.
From the West or North: Take routes 16 & 302 into North Conway Village. You will pass the newly sodded Village Park on the right, the brick community center, North Conway Country Club, and playground for little ruggers. Just past the playground you will see a Police Officer and a couple of our player’s kids on the right directing you to parking and the pitches.
Parking
We regret that we have not had a chance to build our parking area on the field yet. On field parking will be available for the NERFU Championships in 2008. All parking for this year’s tournament is within a 5-10 minute easy nature walk to the grounds. When you arrive at the pitch our parking guys will direct you to 1 of 4 parking areas. Rest assured that there is plenty of parking. Please don’t give the Police Officer a hard time.

Practice at Payson Park (6/5)
The title says it all. Practice tonight will be at Payson Park in the outfield of one of the baseball fields - which ever one isn't full of little kids. Bring your raffle ticket money.

Official: Seacoast Menstruating
So it seems our compatriots down the road in Portsmouth (or Portland-lite as it's known), got a little too "knicked up" at NERFU the other week and just couldn't scrape together a team to face us this weekend. No doubt they'll be at home getting a bikini wax or knitting a nice cozy for their new trophy.
However, since you've already asked the wife for the afternoon off, we're going to have a little get together of our own at the Fairgrounds. We'll play a little rugby (format to be decided), then have a cook out and maybe even sip a beer or too. The NERFU Cup will be on display for you to take a sip out of and maybe some of that manly-ness will rub off on you. Failing that you can go rub off some manly-ness behind the stables.
Stay tuned for more details, but at the very least plan on being at the Fairgrounds by 1 on Saturday. Volunteers will be sought to bring grills, chairs etc.
Oh, and one more thing...
A few of you have been asking for a private message board where you can post your obscenity without fear of censorship, so here it is.
You'll need to set yourself up a profile to start, then you'll be free to offend each other at will, safe from young (or old) impressionable eyes. Your profile will need to be verified before you're free to get your freak on, so have a little patience. I'll try to get to them as quickly as possible. Bottom line, if I don't recognize who you are from your profile, then I won't verify. That way we get to keep the riff-raff out. Sorry Jesse.
