Saturday 20 th October 2012 DINGS CRUSADERS v CANTERBURY National Official League Matchday DINGS Division Programme CRUSADERS RFC 2 South www.dingscrusaders.co.uk DINGS CRUSADERS RFC Chaucer Returns Today we welcome back Canterbury RFC back to Lockleaze to resume their quest within National League Rugby. After a season away they certainly bounced back at their first attempt and have had a fairly solid start with some impressive and some not so impressive performances. But weather permitting let’s hope today Dings can carry on where they have left off after the last couple of weeks of pretty impressive performances. Last weeks away day to the Isle of Dogs was certainly worth the trip. A fine performance on the day against a struggling team, but still a test at home, meant that we came away with 5 points, for 4 tries. Not only that but all 4 tries were scored by The Ladies, and I can’t remember the last time, that happened, it was probably when Gary James had hair! The trip was complimented by the presence of a true rugby legend in Jason Leonard. Resplendent in his jeans and what I think was his gardening sweatshirt, still he’s a big bloke and has lost none of his allure. Although 3 hours in the presence of John (Dai) Davis meant he went home battered and confused. This was further compounded when I was approached by our very own Matt Hudd, who asked who was Jason Leonard and did he play a bit? I suppose it can only happen to us. One thing that fascinates me about the away trips, is that it normally means 3-4 hours on the coach getting to the games, but it only takes 2 1/2 hours to get home? Still it meant that the lads could dress up in their glad rags and pursue their dreams in a Bristol club, all celebrating well into the night and also to give Christian Gervais a send off he would remember as he sets off on a planned years travelling in the outback of Australia. Well if he actually gets there, as a planned stop off in Thailand may well put a spanner in the plans, anyway Christian have a good time but be careful out there it’s a dangerous place - well it looks it in all the films! The Knights played their second competitive fixture of the season last week and a resounding win for the newly appointed coach in the persona of Bob Hesford sent all home happy. Well all apart from the local tree huggers who felt the trimming of the trees had gone a little too far. All I would add is have a look at Terry Webbs & Thatch’s hands and ankles after trying to get through what’s probably 30 years of undergrowth and although they never found my old pair of gym pumps thrown in a fit when I didn’t make the school team, they did find a number of newly built houses that seem to have sprung up over night. Still that’s progress for you and it seems they wouldn’t mind Webby clambering over the spiked fencing to retrieve his balls! So on to today and a team who have always given the Dings a hard game at Lockleaze and will be full of confidence, let’s just hope Bristol have enough water boys this week and lets the lads play. Come on you Dings Boys!
