 Nasties Rugby 4 Nasties defied logic by playing 20 minutes before our match for the opposition. Well done those blokes. And it happened... The Newport Nasties over 35's rugby team hit the park at 1:04pm today. Skip Mcgrath led the team onto the park, chest out, arms  Newport Nasties Rugby The Nasties played hard against a far more experienced team from Avoca and should have taken the points if it wasn't for a very dubious refeering decision after 10 minutes. The Nasties took this blow well and kindly handed the opposition two tries. Sadly this meant the Nasties opened their account with a loss. Unfortunately the second match went the same way... Special mention needs to be made of Jeremy "Boyo" Beynon. Boyo, scored the Nasties first ever try. Fitting to such a good looking bloke, all nasties acknowledged that a forward couldn't have scored the try. There is no truth in the rumour that "Stavros, the Greek god of goal kicking" tried to trip him up on the way to the line. As the battle ebbed and flowed, Skip Mcgrath showed some great form and fantastic angry faces, he did enough face pulling to earn the 3 points and the barrel of heineken. Well done Skip. Moment of the day was provided by our magnificent number 8 Tim Bentley, Whilst the Nasties had struggled to create much and all points had been scored via interceptions our "belle" of the ball Bentley took things to another level. Faced with open ground from 65 metres out he decided to run for the line, all outside backs decided that his selfishness deserved penance and boy did he get it. On the 65 metere mark, Bentley broke the world record for the most strides on the one blade of grass. Well done Tim a gig on Lord of the Dance with Michael Flately awaits you. Much beer and frivolity was had after. Special awards by way of the website committee (me) have been handed out as follows:
