The Ups and Downs of Last Week End's Rugby!

The Ups
So, England get to their 2nd consecutive Rugby World Cup Final! Did we have fun celebrating that on Saturday? The Bat was alive with song!............Are there anymore French drinks that Paul Harding can try to consume.........is he still alive?! Will Fishcake make it to the toilet if England win next week?!

And now we play South Africa. Is anyone confident of predicting a final result? Will Walshie be brave enough to watch it in the Pub? Will my lucky England Rugby Shirt be washed in time?

The Downs
Sadly, the Mighty Leigh had their first taste of defeat this season at the hands of New Ash Green. Starting with only ten and a much cobbled together front row, Leigh managed to forge an early lead, but as their numbers dropped with injuries (down to 12 by the end, possibly 11 if the referee hadn't intervened with an early whistle!) New Ash Green got the upper hand. A brave effort though, from all those left standing!

So.......will you be in the Bat on Saturday at 20:00. I hope you will. Extra TVs to be installed (slightly Heath Robinbson) in the Saloon Bar. Come and enjoy the atmosphere and party with us after a tremendous victory (does that count as a prediction)!
