Old Belvedere RFC 36 Bective Rangers FC 0

On Wednesday last,a brave Bective Rangers side, led by Maeliosa (Wewa) Power lost to a more experienced Belvedere side. The final score belies the fact that had Bective taken their chances in the third quarter, the result may have been different, as Belvedere held a narrow 12 point lead at half time.

The game started frantically with Belvedere mounting waves of attacks. The Rangers defended stubbornly, as bodies were put on the line, thus frustrating the home side. Special mention to Colin (aka Raff) Rafferty who made three consecutive try-saving tackles. Not bad for an auld fella! The constant pressure told however and Belvo deservedly scored two first half tries, converting one.

Tolerance is grand, but now Croker has gone too far

It WAS the ad for Nivea Cream that triggered this rant. Nivea Cream is all well and good but the ad said Nivea For Men. So? Well the ad was in Croke Park. Yes, Croke Park.

I spotted a whole series of hoardings encouraging men to buy face paste. I know there are men who swear by creams but I am one of the old school. We banish fine lines with sandpaper and shave with broken glass.

The draw has been made for the Fox Cup (Metro over 35).

Nine teams have entered and they have been put in to three groups of three teams, each playing each other once in the group stage. The three group winners will qualify for the semi-finals along with runner-up.

On April 3rd Bective will be away to Swords and on April 10th face Suttonians at home. both matches are scheduled for a 6pm kick-off.

The semi-finals will take place Thursday April 17th and the final will take place Thursday April 24th.
