Well, the new season is almost apon us, so it's time to spring clean the website...over the next few weeks I'll be updating various sections...if you've got any pictures of the squad last year, please scan them and send them to info@davidbaldwin.net Please return
soon to find out all the details for training and matches for
the season 2003/04...ta muchly...
Once again, apologies for the lack of updates...sadly 3rd year brings lots of work... Well, we now have a strip!! And what a strip it is...pictures will be coming online soon, but thanks goes to Mark, Andrew and Ben for designing a most tremendous piece of clothing...makes us look like real pros!! (but we are aren't we?!) Anyhow...keep an eye out on this site for news of next season...sadly I'm graduating this year, so i'll not be around to see us win the league...it's been great lads...I'll never forget it!! snif...
Well, it's been ages since I updated the site...really cause I've been doing my dissertation and didn't have time... Well that's the first ever season for Crayola Rugby done and dusted, and for a first season we really didn't do too badly...it's looking very promising for next year...though i'll not be here...sob... TEAM KIT: Mark et al have done a great job on the team shirts, they're look top knotch...can't wait to see them for real, so here's a wee sneek preview: [click here] The kit will cost £38 each, with a £5 deposit to be paid to Mark asap...please also email Mark with your size and number requirements (that team number!)
Happy New Year one and all...welcome back...hope exams are going well! LATEST NEWS: We have a game on Wednesday 29th January against Armstrong RFC at Close House. This is NOT the Cup game. The cup will start in the second week in February (I think it's the 12th). We will have our first training session next Sunday (26th) at Henderson Hall (most probably the school fields). FROM THE GAFFER: I am starting to get the new kit in motion but I really need to know some numbers as I don't want to over/under order. Another thing that has been brought up is whether we duplicate numbers, i.e. whether say Dave, James, and Hutch all have number 9. I am happy for people to have the same numbers, but Crayola is a democratic organisation so I will leave the decision to you guys. PUB CRAWL:
The 'Braveheart' night date is not known at the moment but i'll
let you know at a later date. Regarding the awards dinner we'll
wait until our cup run is over! But i'll let you know that aswell. Finally, it's my birthday today (Dave) and I'm feeling old as I'm 23...here's to my pension...
Well, we finished the term third from bottom, a pretty good start for Crayola Rugby, we can all be proud!! All that's left for me to say is 'HAPPY CHRISTMAS' and 'HAPPY NEW YEAR'...I hope you all get drunk and party hard into the next year...I for one will be soaking up the, em...alcohol...in Edinburgh, I may see some of you there...take it easy... Oh, and remember to order your kilts for the William Wallace pub crawl in early January...I'd recommend Moss Bros on Northumberland Street or a wee shop in Old Eldon Sq. opposite the war memorial, and remember your sporans(!)...til then...
Another loss for Crayola, but not a bad game really, just a better side and a crap ref. (did I say crap? I meant fecking wank). More details coming soon... Hogmanay 2002/03: Not sure what you guys are doing for New Year, but I have a few spare tickets for Edinburgh's Hogmanay Party. It's by far the biggest in Europe and second in size only to Times Square, NY (second to none for quality!). This is the place to be at New Year!! If anyone wants a ticket then I'll give them away on a first-come-first-served basis...please only take one if you can make it as they are in short supply...more info here: www.edinburghshogmanay.org - for a ticket email me: d.f.baldwin@ncl.ac.uk.
Well, it's happened again...another glorious win for Crayola Rugby, and another try for Mark Holmes...captaining the team in style! Crayola were all over the Henderson Hall team, and should have scored a great deal more after long periods encamped in the Henderson twenty-two, but wet conditions made handling tricky and running 'boggy'...more details here...score: 8-5
We are planning to have an end of season presentation dinner (probably some curry house somewhere!), where awards will be given,etc...in short, a bloody good piss-up....details to follow soon...
Well, the number 13 may be unlucky to some, but for the Crayola boys it brought luck in the shape of a WIN!! Yes, you read correctly, the Crayloians recorded their first ever win on 13.11.02...a date that will remain enshrined in history. Read about it here.
Another loss, but out best loss yet, with only 34 points scored against us (3 for)!! Next match is Agrics II at Heaton...watch this space for details...
Well, this week's game is against the Cheeky Ladies at Close House. Meet at 12.30pm outside the Daysh Building as usual. KIT UPDATE: The kit is being sorted, but will only be available for those who have paid their 20 quid (so payup now!) END OF SEASON TRIP: We are thinking of organising an end of season trip to either Scotland or Ireland. We'll hopefully play a wee spot of rugby against local teams and get in a bit of drinking time too. The price would probably be somewhere in the region of £85 per head (depending on destination, duration etc)...If you're interested please let Mark know asap so we can work out if we need bother organise it!! AND FINALY: If anyone can get us games after the inter-mural season has finished, i.e. March, April, May, could they let Mark know (Games versus old schools, clubs, etc.) | m.d.holmes@ncl.ac.uk
If you're bored of an evening, why not visit www.project3.fsnet.co.uk and listen to some melodic masterpieces brought to you by Dave B's band, or if you're in a more reflective mood, why not surf to a little know website belonging to our resident poet, Ben Layton: www.alittleknownpoet.co.uk.
We scored points!! Two great tries by Mark and Jorin put the first points on the board for Crayola. Despite yet another loss, the game was really positive with loads to take from it...read about it here. I've added a new links section, so if you have any random links you want adding, just email me...links. Also,
Hutchy beware...your attempts to avoid the gimp suit have been
noticed...your trial awaits...
