Thank you, and i know everyone at the club would appreciate the comments. Its easy to rad results in the paper and see how far off we were, but everyone worked their guts out and fought as hard as they could, sure was still a massive loss but we really felt like we improved on other games and our intensity and hunger was there all day.
Also might i say what a man mountain of a ruckman you have in the A grade, centre clearances is where the quick goals came from IMO.[/quote]
I watched Ingle Farm on the weekend and i must say they gained a bit of respect in my book after what i saw from them on and off the field.
Facts are they haven't got the cattle, and speculation on here from a few weeks ago are that things are not all that good off the field either. What i saw on saturday is a side that threw everything they had at Plympton all day, and never resorted to the biff, which would be the easy loser way out that we see a lot of meat head teams do.
After the game i saw a lot of green and white shirts around the bar which was a great sight, especially with the positions our two clubs are geographically, to stop in and have a beer was awesome. I also spent a bit of time at the bar with your skip, said hi and listened to a few things he had to say about where his club was, is, and where he wants it to go. I umpired Ingle Farms a bit last year in the A Grade and wanted to have a chat with him about the club. That man is an absolute asset to your club, his leadership on the field apears as if it transcends off the field also, and if there were more leaders like that around the place the world would be in good stead.
Maybe i've got a soft spot because Plympton were in that position only 4 years ago, a winless season in D4 and financial struggles off field, i played a few in the A's that year and we got belted to oblivion. Anyway, i hope everyone at IF rallies together and looks at the bigger picture, you certainly have a lot of players and spectators respect here at plympton.

Thanks for the kind words mate. Your right about our captain Hawks he is an absalute asset to the club, this is only my second year at the club but it is quite clear to see who the leaders are that man goes after the ball like there is a million dollars attached to it and would you belive that he is over 40. I had a word with your number 3 after the game , he did mention that it has taken you blokes 3 years to get where you are which is a great insentive to kepp on keepen on

Keep whacking away boys..
To see some of the positive comments about you guys from opposition clubs on this forum is where it all starts to begin again.
Respect from opposition clubs is half the battle to walking tall..
The rest will come in time.
Let me assure you, the boys from the "other main code of your club" are behind you.
It a club that all will be proud to be associated with win, lose or draw.
