v YORK 3rds 16/2/02

Another week and another victory for Chappell's army, this week it was York who left the Mecca of rugby that is 'down the road' with nowt to show for a wasted Saturday afternoon. I cant wait till someone stuffs us 'cos I am bored of writing these reports now!

It started in classic Viscount style- York forgot their shirts!! So they took our blue kit and it was game on. York started best, their strong team attacking and with the 'Counts still on Planet Rugby from last week were soon on their arses with tackling practise. A little of bit cheating let York go 3 nil up, which was soon improved to 8-0, and we had a game on. We camped in their 22 and got a push over try which was disallowed. After questioning, the ref said he couldn't see the ball- which is no surprise because it was under that barrel of vodka tonic that Dux carries round!! Undeterred, we got a try through another great Spock solo and Skipp kicked a pen for a 8-8 turnaround

HALFTIME VISCOUNTS 8-8 YORK

With Beefy's hands still not working, any position we got in the ball went down for a scrum so the 2nd half started a bit shitty. But from one scrum led to a couple of rolling mauls and a try on debut for our new young prop lad, his name was either Sam or Joe. I cant remember, sorry. Anyway Skipp missed the kick and another penalty before Paul Wood was on the end of a high kick to the corner to touch down, Skipp improving from the touchline and the Viscounts looked to have done enough. But no, Beefy threw a pass straight to their quick lad who was away under the sticks. Staying calm, he slotted a dropgoal within 2 minutes, which was handy because he fucked up once more, missing a penalty kick for touch which their lad ran straight back to score. Still not enough to lose the game and the run continues.

FULLTIME VISCOUNTS 23-20 YORK

v RIPON 3rds 9/2/08

Now I am starting to get worried by the Viscounts at the moment, and also struggling to write reports that contain amusing stories of fuck-up after fuck-up, but they arnt happening at the moment!! We catch every ball (even Chilts), tackle everything that moves (even Chilts), cover each others backs (even Chilts), and make breaks ( well, apart from Chilts). So its going quite well now, and is really good fun to play in.

We tackled Ripon last saturday looking to revenge the narrow defeat when we went up there earlier this season. I didnt think we could play much better than the defeat of Wharfedale but this was pretty damn good. After being 3-0 down thanks to Beefy's indisipline, the 'Counts went up field and stayed there until the last minute of the half when Ripon kicked their 2nd penalty. In the time in the Ripon half, tries from our try machine Andy Ellis, wanker Chilts, Spocky, Nico and a hat trick from Will Darby put them to the sword. Skipp kicked 6 of his 7 shots to amass a huge win for the lads. The pick off the tries was either Spock's, which made him look like he was 18 again as he sped around about 8 tacklers and went in under the posts, or Nico's which was a length of the field job that went down the line and back up it and he went from 50 meters to the corner.

Superb games from everyone in the team, in my opinion the pick being Nico, Richi, Andy Ellis and Darbs didnt let the squaddy filled Ripon lads have a sniff in this game. The teams were a bit more evenly matched than the scoreline suggests, it was the sheer performance from the Viscounts and the rich vein of form that we are in that got us this result.

Quality work lads, roll on York

TRAINING

Now that our nutty flanker has completed his trial on pastry and admitted defeat in his battle to pile on the pounds, it came as a pleasent suprise to hear that he is trying other options to gain both weight and strength in his quest to mix it with the big boys. His performances over the last 3 games have been of high quality and his ability to punch above his weight have made little Nico probably the form player in the Viscounts at the current time. Now, the blogger heard he was training hard at the gym 5 nights a week and as this is unacceptable behavior from ANY Viscount, the blogger went in search of evidence.

To his utter horror, the rumours were found to be true. So sneaky photographs were needed for a blog 'name and shame' campaign.

Here is the twat Nico in gym shocker!!!!

Then to top it off, he was only doing an unofficial Viscounts Photograph Session where he has taking money of people who had grafted all week just for a picture of them with their heroes. To my utter disbelief, ANOTHER VISCOUNT HAD HIS PICTURE TAKEN WITH NICO!! I could not belief my eyes. I know that he is a sporting icon back in Athens, and Greek rugby player of the year, but Costas and Nico this is unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLECKHEATON PHOTOS

Thanks to Big Richi's better half, a few shots from our game at Cleck the other week. Anybody with any others send them to viscounts@hotmail.co.uk

v WHARFEDALE 26/01/08

Mad Mick's lot came down to CG lookin to dick us once again but yet again, Skipp and his troops 'fronted up' and got a well deserved, and a long time coming victory. Having been nilled up at Thresh earlier in the season, and not having beat them in about 4 seasons, this was a great result for the Viscounts.

Again in what seem sto be a frequent occurance, The Viscounts started strongly and took a deserved lead when try machine Andy Ellis went off on a mazy run, kicked it round the full back and regathered to score, Skipp with the kick. Excellent defence from the Viscounts held the Green machine at bay till ahlf time.

HALFTIME VISCOUNTS 5-0 WHARFEDALE

The 2nd half started with the Viscounts playing territory with a good wind behind them, Charlie kicking the corners and letting the pack do the work in the Wharfe half. This tatic was working well but whenever Wharfe broke out, super cover tackling by especially little pastry puff Nico, Skipp and Boothy kept them at bay. The pressure was tackling it toll on 'Dale, and from a line out and drive, Boothy came up with the ball and a 5 pointer. Skipp's kick drifted wide.
Wharfe came back with a big effort to get back into the game, but the pack wouldnt let them have a sniff. It all lead to a 5 meter penalty for Viscounts and with everybody expecting Sam on a crash ball, Beefy threw it long to RokoChilton who amazingly caught it and scored for a convincing win.

Certainly the best win we have had for a good few seasons. To beat Mad Micks lot is probably our hardest task in the season and it certainly made up for all the dicking we have taken over the last few years!! To celebrate this acheivement, pastry boy Nico stayed out all saturday night, got out of Leeds at 10 in the morning. He then bought 8 cans and watched some random sunday morning footy before going out round Otley till last orders on sunday night! For a skinny twat the blogger salutes a fine session of pre-tour training!!


One final piece, when the game was replayed on the big screen, here is Director of Sarcasm Nixo showing his pleasure at RokoChiltons match winning try!! Enjoy!!
