The Newport Nasties Rugby team gathered for training last night that attracted virtually all contracted players. The brainchild of Skip McGrath, training this week, in what was suppose to be the lead-up to the Eastwood Gala Day, was held at Carlo's Pizza Restaurant at Clareville. A suggestion to arrive at 6pm and do a road run was only taken up by two enthusiastic Nasties, Paul Staunton and Chirs Bottero who returned to find a bastad of Nasties enjoying Carlo's fare and a drink or two. All Nasties were required to wear a jersey with Sean Garner stitching something together from various favoured jerseys but his effort was not quite good enough to win best for the night. That prestigous honour going to Sin-Bin or Sinbinsky as he is known in Moscow for his orangey/pinkey striped jumper and headwear. "I feel very proud...." Sin-Bin told teammates.

With the weekend's game postponed due to the inclement weather, the night was a great bonding session for the team and an introduction to some of the new Nasties players, Lincoln and Quasi who supplied much of the drink for the night. '.....at least I'm useful for something" Quasi noted. One of the last to arrive for the night was the quietly spoken Dundee who, before even getting a bite of pizza quickly made a beeline for the Tequila bottle and rarely left it for the rest of the night. For this Dundee was named the Golden Boylo winner iof the nights training. Thanks to all who enjoyed the night and Gunner for his ever inspiring organisation of the year's events. Thanks also to Carlo's Pizza for putting up with the ramblings of the group on a thouroughly enjoyable night.
