The magnificent 7 rode again resulting in another win for the team with the wind at their backs. A solid game of touch last night saw the Nasty spirit alive and well. Once again the nasties have put on a solid team performance in the name of a free beer after touch rugby.

Some majestic play saw the wind blessed team take the lead through the long striding Mita {Pictured}. Skip McGrath was on fire

Mita - Looking great
with flick passes being thrown left, right and centre sometimes they even found a team mate.

All the time the team playing into the headwind were being kept in the match by the re emergence of the hand thief. Mike King might be an award winning Nasty but that has not stopped him becoming the latest victim of theft. No matter where he went on the pitch the ball but not his hands would follow.

Spurred on by such events the wind disadvantaged team came back into the match mostly on the back of more inspired play from both Adam's. The high quality play of Boyo and the rejuventated Justin Burgess who took on more responsibility with the ball and his team reaped the rewards.

Mark Hodgson responded like an officer and gentlemen to last weeks stinging criticism with a high energy performance which involved a large amount of lateral running in his magnificantly tight shorts. well done Mark.

However, intermitantly the wind blessed team would score the odd Try to keep the lead. Well marshalled by Sean P the wind blessed team would eventually run out winners.

It would be remiss of the writer not too mention some devastatingly low skilled touches by a couple of players, for the fourth match in a row Pup walsh has successfully operated as a turnstyle for the opposition to cross for a try. Matty Read broke the world record for having the shortest stride length in a 10 metre run, when he took 1004 steps to make the distance and finally well done to Mick Watts for having the courage to ask for the hair cut and secondly to back it up with one of his wife's tops.

Gents in true Nasty spirit - lets support Mark Hodgson on saturday by buying up big at his Xmas tree stall at the bottom of Newport hill.

Onwards and Upwards with The Newport Nasties.
