Purple & Gold Reflections

Yahoo.

Good fun run at a beautiful location. Just regenerating a few observations & thoughts.

1. Thanks to all board members for providing our home with awning, food & beverage. 

2. Cheers to DC for bringing 3 outstanding athletes to have our first 2 periods be at 35+ pace & then jumping off to build youth rugby. 

3. Thanks to all that stayed for 3 & 4th period which were at 50+ pace. With beer carrying 5th period.

4. CSOB members turn out well with a few new lads. BUT where were everyone else? I guess the answer is playing at a dead club's far north location,  post RMR season, and weak communication by me to club old boys contacts.

5. Where were the north team's old boys. Zero Flamingos, Marauders or Boulder. I thought hosting a game at NW Open Space was a welcoming invitation for north/not Denver teams to jump in. 

6. Very weak turn out by metro. Quins/Rush had Mimi cup Sat & GODs were in Albuquerque. 

***2025 has ended. I hope reflecting builds for 2026 & beyond.

Cheers. 

ps. Thanks to all for allowing me to stupidly play like I had yellow shorts & do tag cause of the arm break. (Don't tell the my doctor or my wife). Loved every minute except the cranium kissing in scrum with prop DC.

A strong echo to Bill's comments.

 

Thanks to Teddy and Sal for manning the chow line.  Thanks to Keith for hauling the trailer and its contents.

 

A big thank you to CSOBs and all involved for letting me referee your games.

 

ANYTIME!!
