Well hello again, and firstly my apologies for no blog updates this season. This is due to an internal issue over image rights that has now been settled out of court, and the green light has been issued from my solicitor, blogclaims4u.com, to resume blogging. A full range of exclusive blog gifts, which would make perfect christmas presents for all you blog fans, will be available soon!!
Now that's the intro done, now the real deal of Viscount rugby. Since the absence of this fine column, games that spring to mind being played have been Keighley at CG, won. Harrogate away, won. Old Mods away, lost. And that's all i can remember, unlucky. Having spoke our supreme leader Skipp, the Blogger learnt that the Viscounts went to that soon-to-be housing estate Claro Road and turned over those Harrogate tarts 7-5. Quite impressive from the boys who are some what depleted this season so far due to unavailability, injury, or the poaching prowess of ex-DoR David Somers. Harrogate returned to the fortress Pool Road fields on saturday clearly seeking a revenge mission. This was confirmed by the 'Counts when the Pythons, who play league rugby in Yorks 5, starting warming up, with 6 subs, in spanking new kit. You get the picture. The 12 Viscounts feared the worst. A scrounge next door at Ensians got us Lofty and Brett Tenniswood to make 14, but the Python nobjockeys didnt want to lend us a player so it was 14 stick.
The 1st half was a typical rough and tough affair, with great defence from the 'Counts led by Big Richi who was having a top game. Also, in his 1st mention since his Bosman move over the summer, was Tebs having a great game- his throwing -in proves we now actually have a hooker. The picture is off the man himself during the warmup!! The Puffthons eventually scored just before HT to lead 7-0.
HALFTIME 'COUNTS 0-7 PUFFTHONS
Skipp missed a penalty chance during a 15 min of pressure that ultimately led to nothing before Big Richi went off with an ankle injury, with it seemed the hopes of getting anything from the game. A random Punk appeared in the pack, before Harrogate scored 4 more tries in the last 15 minutes of the game as the shattered 'Counts lost a bit of interest. A few choice words by Bionic Ads seemed to wind up the Puffthons to score a few more points but the defence held firm for the final whistle. Thats go to Lofty, Brett and the Punk for helping from Ensians. So it was a troop back to the changing rooms to get the hands on the Skipps birthday port. Rumour has it its the Otley derby next week
FULLTIME VISCOUNTS 0 -26 HARROGATE PYTHONS
