Saturday 5th November 2011Intermediate Cup Round 3
Old Laurentian RFC v Newark RUFC
Programme£3
Welcome to Fenley Field Welcome to Fenley Field for our first game in this year’s RFU Intermediate Cup (Midlands). Today we are delighted to welcome Newark RUFC for what we believe is their first ever visit to Fenley Field. We hope that their players, officials and supporters enjoy the day with us. We are also pleased to welcome match referee, Ron Hobbs, on an exchange visit from the North
Midlands Society. We met Ron earlier in the season when he took charge of our game at Kidderminster. Today’s game is in the 3rd Round of the Intermediate Cup, the round of the last 16 in the Midlands. And we have got that far without playing a match! We were awarded a bye in the 1st round and then drawn out of the hat with the winners of the Huntingdon and District/Belgrave 1st round tie. Huntingdon beat Belgrave by 22‐11 in that game, but both clubs were found to have fielded un‐registered players – so both were disqualified! In the 2nd round, Newark lost their tie to Peterborough Lions, going down by 15‐39. But then Peterborough Lions were found to have fielded an ineligible player and they too were disqualified! So here we are in the 3rd round and both teams have reached this stage without winning a game, as Newark also had a bye in the 1st round. We were obviously disappointed to go down to Newbold in the league two weeks ago but all eyes are now on the return fixture here on 4th February. The game at Parkfield Road was close and home advantage will probably see us as favourites to reverse the earlier result, given a full strength side. We got back to winning ways last Saturday at Pershore and by the time we play current leaders Barkers Butts here on December 3rd, they and Newbold will have met two weeks earlier and the shape of the league will be starting to firm up. Along the way, grab the chance if you can to have a look at our 2nds, who currently lead Warwickshire 1. They are playing some superb rugby and well worth your support.

Today’s Visitors
Newark RUFC Newark can make a justifiable claim to be one of the leading junior clubs in Notts, Lincs and Derbyshire. The first recorded game involving a Newark XV took place in 1891 although what we now know as Newark RUFC didn’t formally come into existence until 1919.
The club acquired its own ground for the first time in 1947 and still play at the same site in Kelham Road, and it was Leicester who provided the opposition for its official opening in 1950.
At Kelham Road, the club boasts four full sized pitches, two equipped with floodlights, a feature which has often made Newark the choice for representative matches played by the Three Counties. In addition there is a full range of pitches for Newark’s thriving Mini and Junior set up.
Over the years, Magnus Grammar School, Newark, has provided a stream of high quality players for the club. Pre‐eminent amongst them is Dusty Hare, who moved on to Nottingham before making his name with Leicester, England and the British Lions. Following a similar route was John Wells, now a leading member of Martin Johnson’s England coaching team.
Newark arrive here today with a 100% league record in Midlands 2 East (North) this season. Last Saturday they passed their sternest league test yet when beating second placed Bakewell Mannerians by 31‐15 to open up an eight point lead over them at the top of the table. So we can expect a tough examination of our credentials today!

1st XV Match Report Midlands 2 West South – Saturday 29th October
Pershore 10 ‐ Old Laurentians 31 Laurentians had this game sewn up by half time but were made to fight hard by a stubborn and competitive Pershore side in the second half before they finally secured a try bonus point with the last play of the game.
That score was the last of Simon Bayliss’s four tries in another virtuoso performance, making it nine tries for OL’s left wing in the five league games he has played this season. OLs had the best of the early exchanges but it was the home side who took the lead with a penalty by Woodhouse after ten minutes. OLs continued to dominate both territory and possession and were duly rewarded after twenty minutes when Bayliss came off his wing to scythe through under the posts after Iain Wallis and Dom Hammond had set up the position. Danny Orr converted and OLs were 7‐3 up. After twenty minutes play, Orr and Wallis combined cleverly in midfield to set up Bayliss for his second, Orr adding the conversion for 14‐3. OLs backs were displaying much more menace than their opposite numbers and looking for opportunities to give Bayliss his head. The next arose after a strong run down the right by Danny Murch before the ball was transferred smartly down the line for Bayliss to go over. Orr converted and OLs were 21‐3 ahead at the break. When Orr added a penalty early in the second half, OLs were virtually out of sight. But the big Pershore pack then took over, employing a pick and drive game that tested OL’s defence for much of the half. But the home side couldn’t find any chinks in OL’s defence until the twenty fifth minute when Shaw muscled over, Woodhouse converting to reduce the margin to 24‐10.
When OLs countered, a powerful break by Chris le Poidevin was carried on by Ben Anderson who transferred to Orr near the Pershore line, but scrambling defence just got back to deny OL’s fly half the try. OLs forced a 5 metre scrum but Pershore’s blind side snaffled the ball from a position that looked suspiciously offside and set up a counter attack that was just held.
Next Greg Loydall, on as a replacement for his league debut, was denied a try when the home touch judge decided he had put a foot in touch on his way to the line, a decision that bemused nearby spectators!
OLs were still on the back foot for long periods as the home pack continued their assault but broke out again to win a scrum outside the Pershore 22. Possession was quick and the ball went swiftly down the line for Bayliss to finish and claim the bonus point that had almost eluded OLs, Orr converting with his fifth successful kick from five attempts. Team: Ben Wiles; Grant Inch, Danny Murch, Iain Wallis, Simon Bayliss; Danny Orr, Ricky Reed; Ollie Cowley, Dom Hammond. Chris le Poidevin, Paul Willis (capt.), Ben Anderson, James Orbinson, Ben O’Riordan, Carl Adams.

Sundry Stuff Family Affairs Is this unique? Last Saturday, the 3rd team that played Southam 2s included three father and son combos – unusual, if not unique, in OL’s history, surely. Turning out for the team were Peter and Liam Rigg, Dave and Craig Middleton and Adie and Ryan Cleaver. The team clearly wasn’t weakened by their inclusion (the dads, we mean!) as they won! The burning question is – can Daz Price make it through to turn out with son Danny, one of the bright stars in OL’s minis? We await Tim Chambers’ report on the match with particular interest! How did that happen? In the absence of Arwel Jones in New Zealand, pitch line‐marking responsibilities have been taken on by a number of well meaning, but less than gifted, amateurs (by Arwel’s standards!) There were two home games scheduled for last Saturday and both pitches needed marking up. So Mike Warwick and Keith Baxter agreed with your correspondent that all three would meet up at 9.00 on the Saturday morning to do the needful. But Mike managed to get down to Fenley Field on Friday afternoon, intending to make a start, and
shortly after arriving made a phone call to the writer proclaiming ‘it’s a miracle!’ Struggling to make any sense of his breathless utterings, I eventually got him to explain that the ‘miracle’ was the fact that the pitches were already beautifully marked out! On further investigation it became clear that, despite only returning from New Zealand late on Wednesday, Arwel had made it up to the club on Friday morning and white lined the pitches. Now is that not the ultimate in dedication!? Flag of Covenience! Talking of Arwel’s dedication, such was his desire not to miss any of Wales’ games at the RWC, and to catch as many others as possible, that he went so far as to join the England Rugby Supporters Club to make sure he could get all the tickets he wanted! So that’s why he jumped! Aficionados of Facebook should go to Sian Jenkins page (Mrs PJ) to see a photo of her posing with Steve Thompson and Manu Tuilagi on a ferry bound for Auckland, after England’s exit from the World Cup. We know what happened next!

The Midlands Two Scene After 6 league games, Barkers Butts are now the only side with a 100% record in Midlands 2 West (S), Newbold surprisingly losing theirs in a 25‐8 reverse at Silhilians last Saturday. Sils had been progressing nicely, losing just two so far, but nothing in their record to date suggested the sort of upset they pulled off against Bold. Berkswell & Balsall have already moved up to fourth bottom, despite the 15 point penalty they brought into the season. They have a W5, L1 record and would be in fourth but for the points deduction. Relegated Banbury are having an indifferent season so far, going down by a surprisingly large margin, 3‐45, at home to Leamington last week. Ditto for Droitwich, who have won just two from six so far and, with Banbury, appear already to be losing touch with the leading group. Upton on Severn, who came up with Newbold this season having beaten them to the championship of Midlands 3 W (S), recorded their first win last weekend, a 46‐5 hammering of Cheltenham North, who are winless at the bottom of the table with just one bonus point to their name. Our fixtures have so far lagged Newbold’s by a week or two and that continues when we both meet Barkers within two weeks of each other in late November/early December. Those games will be critical for all three as the halfway mark of the season is approached.
Local Club News Rugby Lions continue to dominate National 3 Midlands but clearly struggled to impose themselves on lowly Newport last Saturday, pulling away to win 26‐6 with two second half tries. They have yet to meet any of the other sides in the top five – it will be interesting to see how they go when that happens. Broadstreet recorded just their second win two weeks ago but are still in the bottom three in the same league. There is an interesting local derby scheduled today when Newbold entertain Long Buckby in the Intermediate Cup. They clashed at a similar stage in the Senior Vase last season, Bold taking the honours then. Both were promoted from Midlands 3 last season but Buckby are feeling the strain with just one win from six and bottom in Midlands 2 East (S). Third in the same league are Lutterworth, who are also going well in the Intermediate Cup and today face Tamworth in the 3rd round. Now climbing the table in Midlands 3 East (S) are Rugby St Andrews, winning their last three, a sequence which included a surprisingly large win over the then leaders, Northampton BBOB. Rugby Welsh are just about holding their own in Midlands 4 West, having won two from five so far and now out of the bottom three. Kenilworth have fallen on really hard times and, having been relegated to Midlands 1 West for this season, are now bottom of that league. They did record their second win from nine games last week, edging Camp Hill by 33‐32 but are still a point behind that side. The previous week they gave Bedworth just their second win when going down by 30‐50, a remarkable score line. Promoted with Bedworth were Dunlop, and after two successive promotions the Coventry club are finding it tough in this league. Dunlop also have just two wins against their name and a large, negative points difference of 204. Sutton Coldfield and Bournville lead the way in the league, each with a 100% record.
