So now it's time to pause and reflect, gone now are the balmy carefree days

of summer during which we all most likely had a good frolic through the odd

meadow, chewed thoughtfully on a fresh piece of straw, while patting an

animal of some sort, followed by a peaceful stroll down some sort of lane or

grassy path, maybe to end up by a babbling brook or river type perambulation

of water gliding slowly by, upon whence we might kick off our shoes and

wrench our socks away from our tired feet and dip them in the very cooling

very soothing waters in the afternoon, as a bird or the like flits over head

in a exciting way. Later that dusk we may have found our selves sitting in

quiet thought on a deck or patio style of thing that hangs off one side of

the house. We might sit in contemplation slowly sipping on a refreshment

type beverage either of the softer type of fruit based concoction, a malty

brewed ale or a spirituous liquor over a cube or two of ice, we find our

selves deep in peaceful thought while our loved one is preparing a meal and

tending to the offspring, usually at the other end of the dwelling so as not

to disturb your important thoughts and meditations.

Ah but low! The winter has snuck up on us and stolen the summer away. so it

is fitting that a gent may rise to take a new challenge on, he might join

with his fellows and find himself engaging in the great game, pitting his

strength, wit might and endurance against a team of adversaries.

Knowing full well that his family is watching on in absolute awe at the

dynamic style you display around the playing field. After which a rousing

hot shower, a hearty meal and some chilled ales to share with team mate and

foe alike.

So sleep ever restfully and labor vigorously until the great day arrives

when the whistle will shrill in our ears marking the start of another season

for us to rub shoulders with the ghosts of heroes.

 

For this is the Golden Oldies and we are its champions!!

A great bunch of guys and usually some champagne rugby played.

A messagage from the Korus...

We had an excellent day out last Sunday when we played our first away game for the year against the Rolly Rebels at Rolleston. Once again we had a great turnout of players and an even better turnout of supporters which is very much appreciated.

After a shaky start our team settled down and played some excellent rugby and finished off the game with a fine backline move with a try ion the corner.

Our player of the day went to Steve Petrie who was down especially for the game from Nelson. The other award went to Big Willie for impersonating a back !. Other players to shine were Chucky out on the wing where he showed lots of pace and Ayden and Paul up front.

Thanks to the Rolly Rebels for a great game and a very enjoyable after match in the clubrooms.

A great day at Oxford on Sunday with two wins and a loss.
Pete Maloney got player of the day, and of course won the beer scull as well.
