Owens on a roll 4 from 4

Nice !! Bit of a change from our humble beginnings of  last season , well done boys .

Well the game was started as they always are at Suburbs blowing like a bastard and bloody cold, I think that must be BJ’S fault .
 The score was 5 -3 to Owens with a mighty effort put in by Spiders, Most of the boys turned up eventually except the always invisible Taifau who was more than likely holding up a bar somewhere in Auckland. You could always try the novel approach of playing some touch and holding up the bar with us at Suburbs ( just a thought ) . We played ok I guess considering we dropped the ball more than a blind epileptic but that aside there  were some memorable moments and here are a couple :
Joe Curtis caught the ball yep I did say caught the ball and even scored a couple run a way tries and it was just as well they were run a ways because we were all back at the other end of the field still coming to grips with the fact the JOE CAUGHT THE BALL. Then there was the spiders run away touchdown, well there was drag racing going on there and I have to say that Shan didn’t win it but the bloke who did came off the field and went straight back to his wheel chair on got back on the oxygen  ( bloody Shan )  and then there is the Darren I want to throw shit passes on the first touch Turner ( enough said ) that aside it was a great effort by all.

 Keep up the good work boys and see you all there next week .

Cheers

We all know that it was not our best performance, but to pull out a win on a bad day only shows our true depth.  
The team went toe to toe with the Vikings in the first half trading tries one for one.  The second half went much the same way until we seemed to find our feet again. Defense moved up a notch and the Vikings found attacking more difficult. With a little more communication in defense we could find a lot less tries being scored against us and more time to show the fans our true worth.  Final score 7-6 Owens which makes the tally 3 for 3 well done boys, the juggernaut that is Owens is on fire.

We seem to have the speed on most teams with the likes of Brain (the hit man Harvey) streaming down the side lines. Top marks for Shane who saw both gaps while attacking and closing them in defense. Congrads Shannon on another fine performance, you should donate yourself to science so we can find out how those rubber band legs are attached. Owie your O for awesome brother how a man with white picks can make it round the field so fast never ceases to amaze me and it’s great to have you in the team. Joe (the destructor Curtis) what can I say……………………enough said.

Another Three meat packs boys, well done. That makes it six from twelve placing us well on top of that competition as well. It would be nice Brian if you would let others have a chance but I must applaud you in your support for the club, $40 odd dollars a week on Raffles tickets is a great effort and hopefully will inspire others to get behind the fund raising and start buying as well. Joe good work on the other meat pack……………….enough said

Big thanks to the Ref, top effort and very fair and we enjoyed the way to let the game run.

Adios until next week, bring on the Win and the meat packs.

Hi Team,

The O for Awesome Owens Team had their first touch outing last Wednesday and came away with a two point win against Spiders, final score was 5-3.

Due to this being the first match of the season we were all huffing and puffing all over the place, with a special commendation to Scotty (I coughed up a lung) Collins for still playing thru when he was obviously crook.

We started with a hiss and roar to begin with and scored a couple of quick tries, with Shan and Darren controlling the early running. Tom showed up late as usual but provided an instant impact, where Owen (you will not get past me no matter what it takes) Donald was playing his first game in the team
And although his legs were white as a ghost he brought some real grunt and “PUSH” to our team.

We let them back into it in the end due to our obvious lack of fitness which I was definitely the main culprit, but still had enough in the tank to hold onto to the win.

Great start to the season guys and I definitely can’t remember the last time we had a start like this.
The other plus side was Shane and Bryan starting off where we left it last year in winning the first two meat raffles.

So keep it up guys and we all may need a bit of extra fitness training if we want to take out the roaches this year, because as usual they are still talking a good game.

See you next week
