For those who were not in town or in Thailand last week-end,  be aware that the Bangers RETAIN the Soi 33 Cup after having beaten the southerners 17-13.
 
Down by 13 points with 20 mn to play, Bangers finally find out where the line was and scored 3 late tries to get their first victory in the TRU competition. Later on, the Colts game vs the Navy at RBSC have been cancelled so everybody could enjoyed the party (not the lions game..) at Bistro 33. Well done and big thanks to all of you, including the supporters, sponsors etc., who make this great day happened.
 
Mind my accent and my absence.

And so it was time yet again to take the annual pilgrimage to Phuket.

This year being older and wiser we decided to send a reconnaissance  party ahead of the main group to find suitable training facilities for the team and organize tours of the local Wats as a cultural pick me up.
Time spend in reconnaissance is seldom wasted and the four strong recon party soon had everything in hand and suitable sites observed.

It is with great sadness that we learned that Pascal passed away. Pascal was a member of our first and second full overseas tours to Brisbane and Limerick. Pascal was the life of any party and always had a grin on his face. He will be very fondly remembered. Rest in peace, mate.
