Can someone tell all of the Mrs Nasties that it was Douggie the Pizza Boy's fault for us all being home late from training !
Training with Mark T focused on protecting the ball during the ruck and maul, avoiding over commitment during the breakdown - max 3 players committed (which for the forwards means 1 another 1 then 1 more) and developing multiple phases of play. It was a cracking workout which certainly got the blood pumping and the sweat dripping (more for some than others eh Mark H). The session was so well received that all the boys were more than happy to slash the touch footy playing time down so that the exercises could run that bit longer. Good effort boys. Touch footy was as ever keenly contested. Noteable performances were from the link up play from Scotty, Mita and Ado. Speed king Sean was on fire with frequent bursts through. While Skip and Peter dominated the midfield play.Bulldog Tim catching the ball at full pelt allowing him to burst through the flat defensive line ran through for one of the scores of the night, much to the delight of the junior bulldog players watching from the sidelines. Congratulations to Colin for winning the coveted Golden Boyo for his excellent chase down from one end of the field to the other saving his team from certain defeat. The hardcore training session really began when the majority of the committee members assembled in the clubhouse with a couple of rank and file members. The deltoids, biceps and triceps all received a comprehensive workout as multiple reps of raising heavy tins of VB soon brought about a requirement to increase the energy levels. Skip, obviously looking out for the guys, promptly ordered appropriate carb supplements and 30 mins later half a dozen pizza’s arrived. With energy levels replaced the guys continued with their workout even finding time to give a few of the lads, who unfortunately were stuck in their lazy-boy armchairs, a friendly phone call serenade. Ever devoted to their training the lads managed to find the energy to keep going late into the evening!! |
