44 5 Our Opposition Today Dings Crusaders

The Dings Crusaders were founded in 1897 by H W Rudge as part of a mission to bring sporting activities to one of the most deprived areas of , playing their matches on the Downs (Dings moved to in 1948). Both Dings Crusaders and their opponents changed in a local house, with the players taking their turn in a single galvanised bath after the game! Dings Crusaders’ first international “Sunny Jim” or “Darkie” James Peters played for the Dings and Knowle before AGE NOW going on to play for Bristol and then England in 1906, gaining five caps in all. COMFORTABLE RETIREMENT Dings started off the leagues in 1987/8 in 1 (Level 9) (NB We were at Level 5 SW1 at the time) and INCOME steadily climbed up the divisions: 1990/1 Gloucester & , 1994/5 Western Counties, 1996/7 SW2 West, 2001/2 SW1 until they reached National 3 South as it was then (Level 4) for the 2003/4 season. There they remained until 2014/2015 when they were relegated for the 2015/2016 season and remained for this season. However, our paths 5 YEARS crossed for the first time when we gained promotion to National 2 South for the 2012/3 season. As can be gathered TIME from the record shown below, home advantage was the crucial factor and was the case when competed in National 2 South. However we came close in to losing at home in September 2013 in a very tight match. With just minutes to go, fullback Mark Woodrow had the chance to put the game beyond Bournemouth’s reach when Dings were awarded a penalty with the scores at 30-36. However, can I say uncharacteristically, he pulled his kick outside the near 10 YEARS TIME post. A quickly taken drop out and regather saw Bournemouth retain posssesion taking play deep into Dings’ 22m. Scott Chislett was almost over but flanker Joe Atkinson was on hand to score just wide of the posts. 35-36. Could fly- half Jack Metters, on his debut, hold his nerve? The whistle blew as the ball sailed over the bar and Bournemouth had secured an unlikely victory. We broke the accepted order of things with our first win at Landseer Road in September two seasons ago and perhaps should have done much the same last season but conceded a 23-20 advantage to 13 men with just minutes to go. It was all to similar to an agonising last minute defeat in January 2014 in N2S. So things have been ‘nip and tuck’ between the two sides over these many. Dings are currently lying first in the division having shaken off a defeat against Wimbledon in the play-off at the end of last season and are looking strong to make another bid for promotion this season.. They are also on the move from Lockleaze and are currently developing a new home on the site of the old hospital. Housing development was much in evidence at Lockleaze when we visited last September.
