    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.

Welcome also to the players, officials and supporters of todays opponents Cinderford RFC. ‘2016’ has received a lot of bad press but it was pretty good to us! Bonus point victories in our last four games whilst others surprisingly dropped points, meant we finished the year on top of the heap, which was an unexpected and very pleasant early Christmas present. Last time out here we overcame a spirited Exmouth team 38-7. They certainly didn’t play like they were bottom of the table, which illustrates the competitive nature of this league. In the pre-Christmas game at Bury St Edmunds, our large and vociferous band of travelling supporters helped negate any benefit the Suffolk side may have expected by being at home. Ultimately though games are won and lost on the pitch and once again our guys produced a polished performance to run out comfortable 33-16 winners.

The Cinderford pitch passed an early morning inspection, immediately before receiving a Hugo Ellis bags the only try at heavy and prolonged burst of rain. Only some hard work by Cinderford [all 1st XV photos Cinderford people with pitchforks allowed the match to go by David Whittam] ahead at all. The conditions were certainly heavy and, combined with a strong wind, not at all conducive to the running rugby Park prefer to play. It looked very much a match to be won by the stronger pack – not nedessarily the ideal terms of engagement you would wish for when tackling Cinderford at Dockham Road. Park gave their all to dog it out for a hard-fought victory. Park started favoured by the wind, in a match of box kicks and forward drives. Each side got a penalty, but two excellent defences denied either side a sniff of a try in the first half. As the sun began to set in the second half the wind dropped and Park began to get a distinct upper hand. Cinderford could not run through Saturday 21 December Park’s brilliant and committed midfield tackling, and when they kicked to touch their lineout let them down badly. Against a less excellent defence Curtain Raiser Park might have won with a good bit to spare, but a committed maul, behind which Hugo Ellis needed every ounce of his strength to deposit the Park Rangers ball on the line, was the only score of the half.
