Avoca Beach Golden Oldies Rugby Team
played at Lovedale in the Hunter
Valley last weekend in a tournament that saw teams from Nelson
Bay to Eastwood do battle on a day.
On a day, more typical to English weather, the White Pointers showed some great form to win 4 out of their 4 games of Rugby. The day saw players emerge from washed out 1st & 2nd division games in the Hunter play for their Oldies against some of the Best Golden Oldies teams in NSW.
Our secret weapon Sara had a man of the match performance as she slammed and smashed opposition players leaving them muddy and dazed on the pitch. Sara has represented Country in the all girls Rugby Union recently and now has found a well earned position in the team at breakaway. The crowd went wild when Sara, single handedly, smashed a 6 ft Ogre and rolled him in what seemed more like a Cumberland throw. The ladies in the crowd went troppo.
Good solid games by Mort, Paul Harries and Steve Clay with good performances by Barry (Baz) and Johnny Easy. Billy, Mick and Buzz Bury and Matt played strong.
Thanks to the Seagulls who helped on the day who also form a part of our team when touring.

April - Abermain goes off.
The team took on the Abermain boys
in April and after being well and truly 'catered for' by the
publican Roger the night before, it was soon learnt the next day that he was
also the Captain Coach for the Abermain team. A big Saturday night had by all
with a huge performance by Lovey dancing on the bar. Sure enough there were a
few sore heads taking to the field the next day after a late change in plans saw
the game start at 10am instead of the much more desirable time of midday.
Injuries: Nil.
Abermain Pictures unveiled.
