2nd Team Chalk up another good win

Another win under the belt for the Old Boys, which was thoroughly deserved in a game refereed by Jon 'keep up with play because I am too fat' Ekins and captained for the first time by Jamie 'magic Torch' Raines.  From even before the kick-off the Old Boys attitude to the game was much better than last week, with the team arriving on time, and even getting in some practice, and the \u8220\'93vibe\u8221\'94 was definitely there and everyone was raring to go.  The Old Boys even had scrum-half Nik 'the only person to make Jez Ammo look tall' Brown come down from the 1st team to play.

From the first whistle , the Old Boys tore into the heart of Oundle and made their presence felt, and had the lions share of territory and possession.  However, the Old Boys did not have it their own way in the lineout, and could not get any real clean ball as their jumpers did everything they could to spoil it.  It was a similar story in the scrums as the Old Boys usual firepower just wasn't happening and the ball was not being channelled properly.  This gave Oundle the excuse they needed to make life difficult, but luckily, most of the disruption was caused deep in oundle's half when the Old Boys were attacking.  Once again, the backs showed their quality, and wherever possible , they moved the ball out wide and attacked down the flanks with Warren Roberts combining well with Mutty to make a good break.  Carl 'Girly Gloves' Hanley also looked good under the high ball and made a couple of good runs.  But once again, 'Brain of Britain' Craddock stole the show with a man of the match performance with lovely touch finds and some bone-jarring tackles.

At times, the Old Boyse were their own worst enemies by making silly mistakes, but once they strung a few phases of play together, they placed Oundle on the back foot.  This pressure led to the first score.  They attacked close to the line and there was some good recycling, but at the vital moment, the pass from the scrum half missed its intended target and bobbled along the floor to no-one.  Evergreen Mutty picked the loose ball, looked outside and passed it to Chris 'that ring piece through your willy is nasty' Sims.  He had a man outside him, but chose to take it on himself and drive over the line for the first score.  The large crowd cheered, including Sims new American sweetheart who just looked on and couldn't give a toss!!!!!.  The conversion was done by Jan 'Fire'  The score was 7- -0 and this just gave the Old Boys renewed vigour,
whilst once again showing a Herculean effort in defence and also in attack whereby the backs did their bit.  The second try came from a break up the middle by one of the forwards.  The ball was recycled quickly and taken on again by anther forward.  The ball then ended up in the hands of 'Magic Torch' who was tacklde 10 metres short, but just managed to offload to Mutty whose path was blocked by the marauding Oundle defence.  The winger seemed to spin round and off load to Nik 'The Giant' Brown who then darted for the posts and scored - once again converted by 'The Fire' - 14 - 0 to the Old Boys and things were looking good.


Then disaster struck - veteran prop Andy Hayes went off, which left 'super prop' Ainsley to move up from the second row.  His place was filled by returning Old Boy Pete 'Grant Mitchell' Thornton who looked a twat in his stupid dumbarse scrum cap!!!!  He managed to make an impact in more ways than one - more of that later!!!!!!  Then came a controversial moment.  'Brain of Britain' put a lovely kick through for Mutty to chase, who although had to chase and overtake his winger to win the race to the touchdown,  He placed downward pressure on the ball for what was a perfectly good try, only not to be given by Ekins as he couldn't keep up with play - should have gone to Weight Watchers!!!!!  From the ensuing 5 yard scrum, Simsy picked the ball up, and drove forward, and placed the ball down, thinking he'd scored his second - only to realise that he'd got the wrong line - TWAT!!!!!!!! - should have gone to SpecSavers!!!!! - although he initially claimed that he slipped over - PANTS!!!!!!!!!!  Soon after, the half time whistle went, but not before Warren Roberts had a lovely run, was tackled in the in-goal area and dropped the ball!! - WHAT A PLONKER!!!!!!! - 14 - 0 to the Old BOYs.

The second half started with the OG's quick out of the blocks and it wasn't long before they scored again with Lee Johnson getting a try.  This was converted by Donks, but this spelled disaster as the Old boys seemed to switch off, and let Oundle back into it, and basically for the next 20 - 30 minutes not playing.  Their fly-half (who was their best player) scored a try in the cornner which was converted.  Everyone seemed to switch off 'Nightshift' had his customary lie-down, and no-one seemed to play.  Oundle then began to boss us about, but in the final quarter, the Old Boys began to play again.  Just as 'Grant' made a break up the middle, he was tackled, but instead of setting the ball back, he just literally threw it back to anyone.  It flew 10 yards in the air, straight into the hands of an Oundle player, who ran, drew a man, passed it to his winger who ran in from 40 yards to touch down.  It looked like something out of kids school rugby!!!  At that point, some players were not best pleased with 'Grant', who by now, after that complete f..k up, has no chance of regaining an EastEnders contract!!!!  He was  not alone in f..k ups - P.J did one as well.  From the back of ruck whilst under pressure, Mutty shouted at him to pass it back so he could kick it to touch - BUT NO!!!!!!    P.J decided to do it himself  - TWAT!!!!!!  
He kicked it, but it went straight across the field and straight to an Oundle player.  Luckily for him, the ball was knocked on.  The score was now 21 - 14, and it made for an interseting final 5 minutes.  But Oundles discipline was poor, and they conceded a penalty which 'Brain of Britain' converted.  The game was done and dusted and there was no way back for Oundle.  A good win for the Old Boys with plenty of players to return.  Some good individual performances by 'Brain of Britain', 'Girly Gloves', Barney, super prop Ainsley, and 'Grant'.  Good to see Sean 'Mr Grubby' McCarthy back playing rugby instead of playing that shitty sport called golf, and the new flanker Neil shaping up very well.

All bodes well for next week for the visit of Brackley.


P.S  After the game - Simsy finally admitted that he F....d up and put the ball down on the wrong line - TWAT!!!!!!
