NEDS NATTER
Hididdley ho neighbours,
Seems along time since I spoke.
I meant to write this before the start of the season but lethargy overtook me as it often does these days speeding past old age and forgetfullness to get there first.
I'm very excited about this seasonI
IT COULD BE THE START OF SOMETHING BIG.
I think we could suprise a few teams this year.We were very unlucky not to beat Littleborough we were easily the better team despite another poor referee and we will have learned from the mistakes that we made.
Its nice to struggle for somewhere to park on training nights makes a pleasant change .I'm glad I dont have to pick the team because we have an abundace of talent as well as numbers.Poor Mick will have some sleepless Friday nights(sorryAndrea).
It will be good to visit some different places this season .Even I havent been to Selby,Barnoldswick or Oulton to watch rugby before,The sat navs will be working overtime !!
Thats all for now folks
ggggood bye
Ned
Hi di ho neighbours,
Long time since I wrote anything .Probably due to apathy and strong drink (an affliction suffered by many of us).
Well we've come to the end of another traumatic season.Its been a long struggle but we completed all our fixtures,avoided relegation hopefully but you never know what the Pennine League might do. We have the Handicap cup final to play which we should win easily if we play all our handicapped players(Charlie - broken leg Oaksie - dislocated shoulder Craig Knlowles- bad knee and finger Daz-dislocated finger and bad back Gimp- swollen knee and persecution complex Doddy- bad hair day)
Despite all our problems I think the team spirit has been tremendous and is what has got us through this season.Thanks to all the veterans who have turned each week and to their wives and girlfriends who have had to suffer all their aches and pains.Thanks to Mick Dewhirst for trying his best to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear(we have played some beautiful rugby at times,that first 20 minutes at Ovenden was sublime but then we've had some nightmares in defence).
In the summer we need to do something about the leak in the changing room roof. Me and Jai cant do it on our own.When we decide on a date to do it please try and make some effort to get there.
See you all at the final

Hi de ho neighbours,
Well the start of another season of fun and frivolity better known as the Pennine league 2009-2010.
What does it hold in store for us.Probably a bit more optimism than this time last year.
We will probably have a better playing squad but who knows.Its abit like the changing rooms roof.Just when you think you have solved the problem the water gets in somewhere else.
The pitch certainly looks better than ever and is our best asset.If players can try to take off their strapping in the changing rooms or pick it up it would look alot tidier.
I see Jai has had his usual rant about the same old faces doing it all but people have other things to occupy their time ,Families,telly, drinking,jobs,telly,drinking,decorating,telly,drinking,holidays,telly,drinking etc.
I dont know why i've gone itallic I must have pressed the wrong button. Bloody technology. Never had this problem with my John Bull printing set.(If you dont know what that is just ask your grandad.) $$££$% ^££"$. Bollocks what have I pressed now. I think i'd better stop .
Bye for now

Isnt it distressing to hear about Ovendens problems with big debts and player shortages.Really distressing I cried so much the tears ran down my leg. Its really not fair to gloat is it.
But bugger it lets all have a good gloat. A really dam good gloat.GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT
Right thats enough gloating for now (f you want to carry on gloating then do it in your own time)
O.K. one more then. GLOAT
I think thats got it out of my system. Dont we get some really good referees. Mr.Evans was a classic. A nice old gentleman , probably a very good referee in his day but alot has changed since the advent of decimalisation and colour tellies. Charlie was a bit suprised when we were tidying up to find a pair of contact lenses in the refs room. That might explain his inept performance. He must have forgot to put them in. It will be a cracker of a game when Slaithwaite play Westgate. I wouldnt like to say who are the best side.
Just thought
I'd drop you a line to
let you know how wonderful
life is at the moment.
Well to
tell
the truth it aint. In
fact it's a pile of dogs
doodoo. When the good
lord created this season
he gave
us
certain things to try
our patience, Pennine
League
committee, referees(the
devils children) and
the like. I have
bitten my tongue and
inwardly cursed on several
occasions
but
something has happened
to make a saint swear
out loud
and
in capital letters.
The
F@CKING Prospect was
closed
on Thursday.(I hope the
good lord doesn't have
the internet but
just in case I'd better
beat
myself
with a corner flag
for blaspheming) . Fortunately
all was not lost
,we went to the Lockstock
.It
was
full
of beer and young women
(both
cheap and welcoming)
It
looks like
we will complete all
our league fixtures
this
season unlike others
in our division. It
was always
going to be traumatic
with the
changes in the team
personnel but the effort
in the
second
half has been tremendous.
Our defence
in particular has improved
dramatically with everyone
following Roscoe's example.
It
is not going to be easy
to predict who will win
the trophies this
year. Even though we
have had a poor season
team spirit is very high.
Speak
to you later, Okely Dokely
