Match Report Stobswell 17 Bannockburn 21
We warmed up really well got ourselves ready to play then started as if we had done neither.
Took a while to get into the game as they pushed us back through playing the ball in close and getting their big men running at our smaller men.
Why did we stand back and let them run at us?
They scored a nice try in about 20 minutes kick over the top, by last week's ref, gathered by their 15, we were caught out of position to be honest. It was also converted by our friend.
We then started to get into the game pushing them back but still struggling at the breakdown.
Ian scored a good try right off the training ground, always knew it would work, but injured his shoulder and was off for the rest of the match.
They scored a bulldozing try, close in, again converted.
Then we witnessed what had been described as the best try scored by the team in about 12 seasons, ball went through many pairs of hands before Chas outpaced everyone to score under the sticks. Zydrunas converted.
Half Time Stobswell 12 - Bannockburn 14
We dominated the second half but unfortunately we lost too much lineout ball and bizarrely too many scrums against the head WTF!!!
Lots of poor decision making then ensued kept it tight when we were punishing them in wide areas coughed up the ball in contact and failed to make simple passes.
They scored late in the half following a fairly blatant forward pass again converted by our friend.
We scored on the stroke of full time but missed the conversion.
Think we left about 10 points on the park they took every point available to them.
Some good performances Dick our new scrum half played really well, now has a broken wrist unfortunately, Chas was always dangerous and Chris, "give us a platform" Hems looked at home in the centre.

Time for everyone to step up we have 3 weekends off now and will train Monday at Baldragon 6pm and Wednesday at Mayfield 6pm.

Match Report Arbroath 24 Stobswell 7
Without the slightest hint of exaggeration this was the worst game of rugby I've ever seen.
We suffered a number of late call offs and no shows (nothing new there then!!)
The wind was blowing at 60mph the rain was horizontal and we were about 2 stone per man in the forwards.
Game had to be played tight who do you think that suited??
Our lineout, usually strong,won no clean ball our scrum went backwards and too many players decided they would rather watch the match than participate.
They scored 2 tries late in the first half with the wind behind them.
We made a couple of decent breaks in the midfield but ran out of supporting players.
Half Time Arbroath 12 Stobswell 0
They scored again early in the second half and then 10 minutes from the end.
We finally changed the point of attack and scored a good try by Chris under the sticks Zydrunas converting.
We switched off and let them get their bonus point try.
Coach's man of the match Chas for giving all he had in spite of his inexperience.
Final note; I know we have an issue with refs but what about this comment from him before the match
The ref is a Bannockburn player and they are now below us in the league as they had points deducted.
"If you lose today and we, Bannockburn, beat you next week we'll go above you in the league"
It might not be the gunman on the Grasy Knoll but for f+%&£ sake that's all we need!0 Comments 386 days

Match Report Stobswell RFC 0 Fife Southern 22
Had our usual slow start, mistake from the first kick off!!
Came into the game strongly played a lot of time in their half but conceded 2 break away tries which were very preventable.
Dominated the lineouts including their throw, competed well in the scrums against a massive pack, did well in the loose although tended to be a bit too one dimensional we need to vary the point of attack.
Lost big Mick after 30 minutes, casual vomit is never a pleasant experience.
Never managed to use the strong wind we had at out back to peg them back.
Turned around 17-0 down they scored another within 10 minutes of the restart then we started to dominate.
Had one drive which took us 80 metres down the pitch to under their posts then got isolated they blootered the ball 60 metres and the chance was gone.
Need a bit more cutting edge in midfield and wider areas but they were worried and were hugely impressed by the quality of play and attitude of our team.
We are getting respect in defeat its time to take the next step and for us to be magnanimous in victory.

guys try and get to training wednesday 6pm at forthill,think after saturday heavy defeat we need to get there.kevins trying hard for you,you now need to respect him and the club and get to training,please be there we need it badly.
Right Guys,
Most/All of you should have got the text from coach about joining our new website on Pitchero.
Can I ask that everyone who has already joined Stobswell on it please go on and remove themselves from the club, the re-apply to be a player as for some reason everyone is appearing as Kevin Rattray.
I know what the problem is so if everyone can go do that, it would be brilliant. (Johnny H - your okay, you dont have to do it.)
www.pitchero.com/clubs/stobswellrfc
Get to it boys and girls.
We must play for 80 minutes guys and maybe we'll have a good chance of a win next week against Pannie
hems read the page....try the fixtures and social events listed opposite!!!!!!
im trying hard to keep it up to date so the least you can do is read it!!!!!!
Whens the bridge run this year people? I fancy getting my bunny ears on again....
good effort in 2nd half today guys but we must start games much quicker.
hi guys steve here I now I was not with you long but the time I was I really felt like part of the family.Not hearing very good thing about some of the guys not going to traning. You really need to start make the effort. If it was not so much money me to get back from OZ Iwould be thay'er. When you are at traning or a game if you think you have given it allyou can just dig deep down in your harts and shout out as load as you can COME ON THE STOBBIE or take a spoon full of cement and harden the fuck up. I hope that when i come back to Scotland for a holiday I can get a game if that is ok.
DIG DEEP BOYS I NOW THAT YOU CAN IF YOUR HART IS INIT
miss you guys and good luck with the rest of the season
STEVEN In reply to: "Pre-Season has Started, Make the effort and we can win more than one game this season!!!!!!" by Stobswell RFC
thanks for all your effort in trying to get players from the colts johnny,keep it going mate,also lads we need you to pay or start paying your club subs,please see timmy asap.thanks wayne.
Hi Guys.
Been speaking to a few of the dundee colts players, their team has folded this year cuz they were struggling for numbers at training!!
One of the colts Craig shearer played for us on saturday against Alloa, he's interested in playing the rest of the season with us...
Will try to get more to come upto the club, but boys HAVE to put in more effort to come training!!! 6/7 boys at training is a fucking joke and these guys wont hang around if this keeps happening
updates to fixtures and social dates have been made!!!!
with regard to social dates please give me an idea of who will be going from now on so i can call the nights off if turn out is going to be like the Start of Season dance, I think those who were there enjoyed their night, however the 20 or so where also rather annoyed that they were the only people who made an effort.
we are a small club and need to rise funds to carry on has a club and move forward, because of this we need to fundrase, this is just has important has training and playing games and needs support.
No Love coz of lats night
PS
this is the tame version of how i feel....your lucky colin would let me on bebo last night!!!!!!
