[richjones16]

Wed's 15th October at Flint rugby club K/O at 1900hrs..Flint v 1 Royal Welsh.

[Rog Ball 01]

Have 1 RW started to play their Army Cup games yet? I see 2 RW have withdrawn from the competition (so Army Rugby site) says.

[Dai72]

Their game last week was called off (2 Yorks, old Duke of Boots) could not raise a team.

Current Army Cup match's to be played:

12 Nov 9 Sup v 1 R Welsh Chippenham

26 Nov 1 WG v 1 R Welsh Aldershot

sad days for army rugby when the duke of wellingtons cant raise a team

[Rog Ball 01]

True Keith, very sad days.

[Dai72]

They could not raise a team worthy of the fixture (did not want an hammering).

You cant possibly be accusing the R WELSH of packing a team. I am sure the former 2nd Bn guys have been officially posted to the 1st Bn for " operational reasons" Same tactic as 7 RHA 2 SIGS etc used to pull not so long ago ?

[Rog Ball 01]

I agree Colin. Some of the guys that are crossing from 2 to 1 RW, were originally 1 RWF, and went across due to Army/Combined Service/civilian club Rugby.

Are 7 RHA still playing the posting in/out game?

Hi Sid...Johnnie Hood asked me to put it on the forum..you can blame him...

[frankie Taylor]

[HOWIE WILLIAMS]

Frankie,
Its been a few years since Sid had "fresh legs".

[Scouse75]

Let me cast your mind back to one of sid's many sayings from the Cyprus blog..........

"SCOUSE, I COULD HAVE PLAYED FOR THE BATTALION, BUT MY SOLDIERING GOT IN THE WAY!!":SLEEP:

[Barry69]

Its true Scouse I know it has to be as I am the one who lent him the soldering Iron! lol

Anyway these days he is more Desk Bound than quick response he is more North Wales QRF with a shiny a**e Paper clips & Hole Punches bit like Norris with power "No I don't watch the Street"

Good Job I don't live in Flint aye Sid

Take Care North Wales Finest

Fact or Fiction
Now we all know how influential Larry was in Sids life but what about Monty another famous Burns

Only Joking Sid you doing a great job, em can I have my soldering iron back ?

[sid burns]

Score anyone.

[richjones16]

Flint 3..1 Royal Welsh 17...it was a very good game Thanks go out to both sides and good luck to 1 Royal Welsh in the Army cup

[Scouse75]

Cheers Barry, and well done on spotting my 'deliberate' spelling error!! (not enough Blog writing recently I think!!):daydreaming:

Anyway, I spoke with my dear friend Sid Burns this afternoon regarding the Rugby match with Flint. Incidently, Sid was working that night, a mere hour after the match would have finished. Presuming he would have attended the game prior to work, I asked how the match went and who was there?:confused:

Sid's reply: "SCOUSE, IM NOT GONNA SPEND A MINUTE MORE OF MY LIFE IN FLINT THAN I HAVE TO!!"

To which I can only read between the lines and translate as meaning...

"SCOUSE, IF I AIN'T GOING ON THE BEER AFTER THE MATCH AND HAVING CHEAP BEER OFF THE BATTALION, THEN IM NOT INTERESTED IN THEM. OH, AND JOHNNY HOOD LIVES IN A RIGHT SH**-HOLE OF A TOWN!!":no:

Perhaps I have been slightly harsh, and totally misintepreted what Sid actually meant? Or am I? :nah:

[scorch]

well fellas what can i say by all acounts a very slow game with the final score being Royal welsh 17 Flint 3. the scorers being
Fus Roligabra
Fus Barry
Fus Bishop and a conversion by Fus Yendle what i have been told a very slow game dominated by the Royal welsh in the scrums and line outs with WO1 Oggie Hewit staring for flint not making one throw down the centre of the line out. But by all acounts made it up in the clubhouse by winning the raffle and buying members of my platoon copiouse amounts of vodka shots resulting in him sleeping in this morning (AGAI 67 action to follow for him) anyhow a good support from members of the Battalion and comrades and you never now we could get a better support than the Cardiff Blues next fixture and timing to follow

ps if my spelling is bad it is 02.30 hrs and the RSM has just let me leave MESS
