This was billed as a top of the table clash with Coach Jenkins claiming Ourimbah were the bench mark for 2013. Although Ourimbah had been beaten by Gosford Jenkins on weekly sports show talked up the Razorbacks as tough opponents. Once again he was right and our job was made all that harder with late pull outs by Sherry & Jimmy due to illness and injury.

JD retained his position at full back despite many claiming his wife had put undue pressure on Jenkins to retain him. Fight your own battles JD !

Speedy went to outside centre with the evergreen and referee lover David Maryska coming onto the wing.

An early injury to starting prop Buncie Mitchell saw the resurrection of the late but great Hoani Rimene who came on to steady the scrum and provide many ball running opportunities in midfield. Despite taking on a major role in the Tod Wadey campaign H’s contribution to the game was well received. Immediately after the game H was seen in earnest discussions with backs coach and brother in law Fuz. Rumour has it they were discussing H’s development of the goose step and his desire to play second five !

Captain Stretch led from the front and despite being asked by the referee to go rest his tonsils for 10 minutes he was dominant in all plays. Oatie once again provided the go forward when the tough stuff needed to be done

All the talk was about how strong Mitch Graham was in repelling Ourimbah attackers.

He was seen smashing into tackles and running hard and straight up the middle. Rumour has it that as he went in for the first hit he was heard to shout “I am not a f&&&&ing poodle” !

Pat Jenkins was injured early which saw the introduction of ex Randwick player Tim Maxwell to the game.

Would be Gaulist Julian Baicalupo continued his fine form with a try whilst making himself a pest around the scrum base.

Some forwards found his constant whistling of the Marsellie somewhat distracting. But as Brubby confided to this scribe “ You need to try everything not only in football !”

In all the forwards toughened up bringing praise from all the Avoca supporters.

Speedy compiled a personal 11 points and showed his kicking game was back on song

A great win for the club !

Next week it is the filth at The Haven something we all look forward to

See you there
