Team BGRH

    It came up in conversation recently that several forums are running successful teams so I figure we could see if BGRH can achieve something

    The Poker forum has a soccer team now, there is a cycling club and an athletics club on Boards too

    These whilst all worthy are a bit active for BGRH although I do think a BGRH Rugby team would be formidable and a sight to behold

    Any suggestions/ideas?

    A good old fashioned BGRH boat race team. :D

    I have a funny feeling this will be a team of front rows ... but I'm in.

    I've played tight head for the last 20 years ... must be time for a change.

    Eh ... who would we play against ?

    Change will be good for you

    Worry about that if anything comes of it

    There are bound to be leagues we could join or a Sevens tournament if we don't have enough bodies

    Feel free to suggest other things we would excel at such as Beer Drinking, Pork Knuckle eating etc

    I do like the idea of a BGRH Rugby team though

    I think of it as a throwback to the Pre-Professional era when men with Beer guts roamed the field

    Think of it as a team of Peter Clohessey's

    I would be more of a Back than a forward, I am too delicate for that :p

    Has anybody made a joke about who's going to be a hooker yet?

    *gets coat

    I think the Brothers should put their own stamp on this by doing it in their own way : backwards. If the poker forum has a soccer team we can't have a rugby team because that's what they'd expect! We should turn it all around and take up poker instead. The last poker tournament I was in (Good Friday) we sat around drinking all day while lovely wimmens dealt us cards, with a quick break thrown in to enjoy a smashing Chinese meal. I think it's a 'sport' the Brothers can appreciate.

    I think a darts team would be more along our lines really, beer and sport! We could call it BGRH Boards team! Geddit?:D I'm not too bad at spear chucking, did a lot when younger!

    Popey, we have been through this. We need a BGRH Red Rover team. Then we can take on orestes and his team.

    It's all planned.

    Sumo would be a good match for some of the brothers. I like Sumo.

    I can't see the actually brethen taking part in team dance competitions.

    /reaches into pocket, takes out what appears to be a remote fob and smiles at orestes and activates it.

    Aren't remote taser collars fun?

    /drags the prone form of the ex dancer to the wine cellar, where he shouldn't cause any more bother for a while.


    Darts may not be such a good idea, but I think a boat race team is certainly possible
    then again it's I sure as hell wouldn't mind playing 'touch' rugby with trout.

    Be careful trout. If he shows up in a tutu, you'll be laughing too much to do anything.

    Don't forget I am a prop ... my powers of concentration are so limited, I will only laugh for about 20 seconds, and then natural order will assert itself.

    By natural order I mean orestes probably trampled underfoot, tutu and all.

    Sorry for doubting you there.

    And as a second row, I'll give him a good raking on the way past just to make sure.

    No, sorry you are going to have to find someone else, currently he's off limits when it comes to anyone else raking and trampling him.

    Sure you can always play with Doom and Onkle.

    well at least they are having in a decent drinking establishment.

    I would have suggested Darts or Bar billiards myself, but boat race seems somehow more appropriate. I'll be a cheerleader.

    I can.
    Happy to take on the role of spectator#2 and occasional wet sponge applier. Also got a forklift truck licence if we ever need to remove any prone Brothers to the sidelines for a Beer&Pork treatment.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.
