Western Suburbs RFC Today

30 October 2008

from Cap'n Tim Bucher:
All, be at Panzer Pitch at 9:30 am Saturday morning.

We will be scrimmaging so we need as many people out as possible. Playoffs are only a week away and we need to get a good run in Saturday followed up by a solid week of practice. Call your buddies and make your best effort to be out the rest of the season.

Directions to Panzer Pitch can be found here.

Directions to the "Panzer Pitch":
The map below describes a soccer-sized field near Fred J. Panzer's house.
These directions are a little easier to understand:
1. from Centreville, take Rt. 28 South to Rt. 29 North.
2. take a right on Pickwick Road (at O'Toole's Restaurant).
3. Go straight thru light over Braddock Road.
4. Continue thru a neighborhood -- you'll now be on Little Rocky Run Circle.
5. at stop sign go straight.
6. take immediate right into community center parking lot (or better yet, park along the road).
7. follow pavement footpath at far end of parking lot thru woods until get to New Braddock Road.
8. You want to walk across New Braddock Road (you can hear the traffic from the rec center parking lot) and head to your right a little.
Look for a trail in the grass (NOT a pavement footpath) along the tree line that leads to the pitch, which is located under those high power lines.
It's about a quarter-mile walk. The walk and playing Frogger with the traffic is a part of the whole practice experience.
9. This is an HOA field and we need to respect the community.

from Cap'n Tim Bucher: "Good work this weekend boys. It was a solid win with good contributions by all. With the bye this weekend and how little light we have these days, there will be no practice on Thursday. Instead we will be venturing into DC for some "team building". We'll meet at 6:30 at Fado. We'll then head over for dinner at Nando's in Chinatown. It's right off the Gallery Place Metro on 7th and H. After eating we can head back to Fado for a nightcap. Next week we will continue practice on Tuesday, but keep checking the message board for other practice times as they will most likely be changing.

from O.D. concerning Saturday's upcoming OLD BOYS match: "There has been some (limited) response on the match 10/4 at Lough Field versus the Wild Geese - this is a real, regular Old Boys' match, and we need bodies to be competitive! The OFIT (Old French International Team) side that pretty handily whipped our Club B side this weekend was beaten by the Geese the weekend before 3 tries to 1. The Geese are a very competitive side! This is a side many of us have played for and traveled with - let's give them a good hard match and enjoy the afternoon's rugby! Post up! It's now or never. I want to field a competitive side against the Geese and challenge the OFIT club to another match this fall.

Hit the message board, call your friends, let's get this side together! For the balance of the season, I am waiting on word of a Sunday slot for the Poltroons in October and we will have the mini-tournament sometime in November, but for now we have an appointment with the GEESE THIS SATURDAY! There will be enough playing time available for everyone - the current forecast is perfect for rugby... get your mouthguard into the Listerine, dust off the boots and throw a little polish on 'em, set your jaws and let's get ready to play ball!! This is a great group of guys and it should be a great game - let's put it on! Check the web site for directions. Club A side versus Warrenton As for the matrix match lead off followed by SOBs vs. Geese, and Club Bs for the final match of the afternoon - there should be plenty of rugby for everyone.

All are welcome to get in a run Thursday night at Panzer Pitch - watch the web site for further details/developments.

See you on the pitch!"
