Bush League at its finest (Well nearly)

[Quigs]

'ere you go one and all.

Bush league at its finest.

But firstly I must apologise for the Oldies outfits, I know its pathetic but it was above and beyond my control.

Ever wanted to know what a day of league in the bush was all about before big dollars farkkkked the game. Where townsfolk just got together for a game, a family funday, a pissup, and to raise a bit of dough for charity.

14 years now we have been doing this. First weekend after the GF.

Every player signs an indemnity book - if they get hurt its their own fault.
Oldies -v- youngies - we end up with around 60 players.

There is also an ironman race. (see pics) Up two hills around the oval and at the top of each, drink a can and have a very cold snag roll. This year $300 prize money, and the winner donated half back to the charity.

Pic above is the local walloper (our policeman) getting stiffed armed by a youngie...

The game is played with a take no prisoner mentallity

Even the local councillor had a scrum blue with his eldest son and lost half a tooth. it was Short sharp right.

A great day and the oldies gave the youngies another touch up 30 - 16.
Raised $3,500 for the local cancer council branch and the local school made $1,100 from the canteen.

Real Roogbee, bush style.

And that Mr. Quigley is how it should be.

Shame about the strip for the Oldies though.

Did that stiff arm go on report?

No match review here Reefman.

350 odd days to the next rematch. Grudges and payback is most welcomed and anticipated.

We had racial slurs, blatant late intentional tackles, fisticups, flare-ups, sideline abuse, corrupt refereeing, incorrect player replacements, crikey we had everything that good rugby league should have.

And the crowd loved it. Shame its all missing from the big league these days.

By the looks of the photos Quigs boots were not required so don't go dashing your dreams just yet.

Maybe boots should be stamped out of the game as without them Mr Gallen may not have had his cordial discussion with Mr Paea.
