Round 9 vs Drummoyne

After a slightly longer break since our last game, everyone should be chomping at the bit to get at the dirty reds tomorrow. Having slipped in the club championship in the past couple of weeks, the challenge is set tomorrow to return Blue Giant Stadium back into the fortress it was at the start of the season with a blue rinse over Drummoyne. Get down there early and do your bit as a blue giant clubman and stay around and drink your share; you know what they say about a hard earned thirst. Goochy’s lamb chops and meatballs are back, not to mention delicious sandwiches and of course a FREE keg of beer.

The all blacks game will be on the big (minscule) screen for those that care but there will be a whiteboard session and a presentation not to miss so stick around and enjoy all that our great clubhouse has to offer.

Woollahra Oval #2

  • Sutherland:      11:00am
  • Judd:               12:00 midday

Lads Day

With only 4 home games left this season, we thought it best to make the most of our round against the Dirty Reds at Blue Giants Stadium. Ladies Day was a huge success but whatever ladies do, the lads do better so next weekend, it’s colleagues first ever Lads day. Here’s how it works:

Each team has the following responsibilities:

• Run water for the team 2 below (i.e. Whiddon runs water for Sutherland, Burke runs water for Judd and so on, Judd will run for Burke, Barbour will run for Kentwell)
• Every player keeps his boots on for the grade above until the full time whistle
• At the full time whistle of the grade above, its footy boots off and party boots on the balcony
• Yell for the boys in blue
• Yell at the boys in red (tastefully)
• Ensure that the MVPs and club captain have their fair share of sculling at the after match speeches
• Thank the Gooch for his delicious catering
• Get to the Woollahra Hotel for the Wallabies Test against the frogs

At the full time whistle in Kentwell, the keg of endeavour beer will be cracked and the beers are on the Gooch (until it runs out)

Boom. It’s going to be good.

Kentwell tight 5 specialist Nick Watt is surprisingly good for more than just pushing in the scrums and is currently undertaking a masters thesis and needs your help. If you would please take 10 minutes out of your day to complete his survey, it would be much appreciated. Please note, it is best to do on a computer rather than mobile.

Nags Head Rugby Lunch

Hello Rugby Lovers,

This year we have stepped it up a notch at The Nags Head Hotel, we have two amazing speakers joining us for our annual Bledisloe Rugby Lunch. On Friday 15th August we have Stephen Larkham an exceptional player who had a test career that spanned over a decade. He played over 100 test matches for Australia including three World Cups – 1999, 2003 & 2007 – ten years of Bledisloe Cups and Rugby Championships. He is now the head coach of the Super 15 Brumbies team.

On Saturday 16th of August we are luckily enough to have Stirling Mortlock an amazing player who scored just under 500 points for Australia throughout his test career and is one of the highest point scorer’s in Super Rugby history. He played 80 test matches for Australia including two Rugby World Cups – 2003 & 2007 – and nine years of Bledisloe Cups and  Rugby Championships.

We are very excited about this year’s Rugby Lunch, if you would like to book a table please contact us as soon as possible as we have no doubt that this year is going to be a sell out! Contact Georgia Lawler at the Nags for further details: georgia.lawler@nagshead.com.au
