On a cold, wet blustery night the Newport Nasty players turned up in droves with the promise of gourmet food, beer and this seasons new and improved playing jersey. However an ambush was set by 'Coach' Trollope who had over 20 Nasties training in the pouring rain for over 45 minutes.

"Bugger that!!!" Tink was heard to whisper to Skip as they made a beeline for the 'Doggies' Clubhouse. With Dim Sim in Residence a few Nasties made an early start before being joined by the revelry of soaked players at the hallowed Bar.

After a beer, chat and some delicious prawns, steak and sausages one of the highlights of the Nasties Season was upon them - The 2010 Jersey Presentation. As tradition now dictates, the current Clubman Of The Year, Justin 'The  Hoff' Burgess would present the players with their coveted jersey. For the first time in their history the Nasties will be wearing cotton jerseys onto the field. ".....they are good enough to wear out to dinner" Flynnie told the teams style icon Cowboy.

2010 Barstad Of Nasties 

This year the much admired pink is gone with the jersey being white with thin blue bands and blue collar. Only 4 Sponsors appear with Platinum Sponsor 'Frontline' (Darren Flynn) once again on the front with Gold Sponsor 'Belle Properies' (Tim Bentley) on both sleeves. The other Gold Sponsors, 'Empire Marinas' (Darren Vaux) and 'Holmeport Marinas' (Campbell Holmes) appearing on the back of the jersey.

Afterwards, more beer was drunk, some laughter before Irish started a tradition that all new players will have to adhere to - singing. An amazing performance that would see the nuggety breakaway not look out of place on the Australian Idol stage. Well done ROOSTER! We now all look forward to the trip to T.G. Milner Field to play the Eastwood Charcoals on Sunday - weather permitting. Well done all.
