BOXING DAY

I am looking forward to the annual game when the Young guns take on the Old heads once again. I have heard on the grapevine that the Oldies are confident of gaining revenge this year, if my wheelchair had 4WD I would be tempted to play myself, I couldn't be much slower than Chris (niffy) Brace!

I had some good times playing. I remember Jeremy (longy) Rossitter striding in from 25 yards like a scarred giraffe. Or Chris (mayor of Saundersfoot) Williams getting a brace of tries, when we returned to the club someone asked me how did he finish them, I replied Very Slowly! And who could forget Gerald (nez) Brace tackle, the fact that the guy was walking to take drop out, hardly seems to matter. When you play rugby, sure you try to win, but more importantly its about making good memories and good friends. And the boxing day match seems to sum up that sentiment perfectly.

I have had MND for over five years now. Its a pretty cruel illness, but the help and support I have received has made mine and the families life so much easier. I always amazed by peoples generosity, and of course very grateful. Unlikely as it sounds I consider myself lucky, I have a truly beautiful wife, fantastic kids, great family and friends. Anyway now a days I always get a seat, and put a compost bin over my wheelchair and I am ready for any fancy dress party as a Dalec!

The boxing day game is a great event, with many people giving up there time and effort, come along walk off that dinner! Enjoy the feast of running rugby, with the past and future of Tenby club going head to head.
