On Sunday 25th Oct 2009 John Wright who the seasoned Carrickfergus Tourists among us will remember as John the night porter from Dobbins Inn sadly passed away.
John who for many a year would let the boys back in to Dobbins at all hours then serve up liquid refreshments sometimes even right up until breakfast time without as much as a grumble, a true gentlemen in every respect.He will be sadly missed.
I would like to take this opportunity to pass on my own and the clubs condolences to Johns family and friends.

| A Poem to Ponder Before Captains Day Libations | | 05-Jun-2009 10:26
|
| By Robert Burns |
In honest Bacons ingle –neuk
Here Maun I sit and think,
Sick o’ the warld and warld’s folk,
An’ sick, damn’d sick, o’ drink.
I see I see there is nae help,
But still doun I Maun sink,
Till some day laigh enough I yelp:-
‘Wae worth that cursed drink!’
Yestreen, alas! I was sae fu’
I could but yist and wink;
And now, this day, sair I rue
The weary weary drink.
Satan, I fear thy sooty claws,
I hate thy brunstane stink,
And aye I curse the luckless cause,
The wicked soup o’ drink.
In vain I would forget my woes
In idle rhyming clink,
For, past redemption damn’d in prose,
I can do nought but drink.
To you my trusty well try’d friend,
May heaven on you still blink,
And may your life flow to the end,
Sweet as a dry man’s drink.
(To William Stewart by Robert Burns)

|
| April Fool |
It has been decided by the National 2nd XV League Administrator that due to fixture congestion and the need to complete our league games by 11th April that Saturdays fixtures are as follows
11am at Forrester - Forrester 2nd XV v Heriots 3rd XV
3pm at The Gyle - Forrester 2nd XV v Stew Mel 3rd XV
I have argued the point that this is unfair but have been informed that the decision stands.

| 2nd XV LEAGUE MATTERS | | 07-Feb-2009 09:00
|
| A message from the Chairman of the 2nd XV League. |
"As chair of your organisation can I point out that there have been one or two results this season where the result, to a neutral, could be considered surprising.
All clubs are reminded that, in the spirit of the game of rugby and of acting with integrity, where there is no 1st XV game no player who started the previous 1st XV game, no matter how long ago, may play save with the clear agreement of the opposition prior to KO.All players too must be registered with the club.
This issue keeps cropping up and is at once the strength and the weakness of our leagues.Club officials and team managers must ensure that all players are eligible."

Guys
This is a little invite for everyone, partners and kids included, to join Myself,
Caroline and Baby Lana for a few drinks at the Boroughmuir Rugby Club on Sunday
the 9th from around 2pm. I have met most of the players now and some partners and
thought it would be a good chance to meet some more and also for some to meet Caroline
and maybe 'Wet' llittle Lana's head too.
For the players we rarely get a chance to watch other teams play, as we all generally
play on a saturday and this sunday BMuir play Stirling and we will get a good view
of the game from the upstairs room that i have hired out. There will be an option
to go pitch side to take in the action but they may ask for an entrance fee (i will
try sort cheap rates for anyone on the day).
There will be a few Beers, Wines, Juices and Snacks for everyone and we would love
it if you can make it even for a short time. If you can let me know on thursday
or saturday so i can work out numbers, that would be great. Feel free to invite
other friends as the more the merrier and everyone is welcome (even Wee Al and Shunty)
Cheers M'Deers
