Check out the list on the right of this page for all the latest news....... The Best of Cape Town Social Rugby.....
03 September 2008 Well it’s been a few weeks but R Dub Ya makes a reappearance on the Pink Pages. I think he is trying to challenge Stinky’s dominance.
Check out a couple of pics in the Gallery Fourths Draw It was a close match where the Fourths led most of the game and UCT 5ths equalised with 5 minutes to go. So the final result was a 3 all draw. Anyone who poked their heads out of the house and did not have it blown off by the gale force wind will know that conditions were not ideal. That said a huge thanks to everyone who came out to support us in bloody awful weather. Full match report to follow shortly
29 August 2008 Big Day Tomorrow We take on the UCT 5ths. Always a good, clean, hard game. However tomorrow promises to be a bit of a mud bath. So if watching 30 sweaty, steaming, hairy men doing a bit of mud wrestling is your thing then come on down. Kick off is a 13h30 on either the B or C fields at Villagers.
28 August 2008 Finaly we may have a plan
25 August 2008 Check out the match report from the past weekend's game against Langa on the News Page...
The boys during their extended warm-up. We played touch for about half an hour as the opposition were late.
22 August 2008 The Galetti Fourths take on Langa tomorrow (Saturday) at 2pm If he can make it through the warm-up uninjured then you may see the return to the Fourths jersey of Moby. Rumour has it that Tequila Tony may be discarding his walker in favour of a pair of rugby togs too. So all in all pretty much an Episode of Return of the Geriatrics. I know I harp on about it but I also know it is the only way to get most of you lazy bastards down. The booze is cheap. After the game the boys are then going to hang around and watch the Boks hopefully open a can of whip-mutton on those dodgy Aussies. Was pushing it with that last joke wasn’t I? Kak one, sorry. See you all tomorrow
22 August 2008 Quote of the Day Putting it in context. Last night after a muddy practice the whole team got together in a huddle. Someone piped up “Shouldn’t we be naked for this?”. Now I do not like embarrassing people in public so I will not mention his name but will give you a few subtle hints. Find the missing word. Chocolate Chip “what” The “what” Monster (large blue fellow – from Sesame Street I think) That’s the way the “what” crumbles. OK enough clues now I don’t want to give it away.
21 August 2008 What a joyous day. We have two of the stalwarts of the pink pages together in one photo. Hark the heralds. Check them out…
19 August 2008 Brief News Flash Things have been a bit quiet around here for 2 reasons. Firstly there have been a couple of weekends off from playing. Secondly my cheeky boss has actually started asking me to do some of this “work” stuff. The nerve of some people…. Shebeen Stuff Update: Shebeen Game moved to Sunday at 15h00 at UCT Anyway. So the Shebeen Boys are playing in the Quarters on the C field (furthest from the club house) up at UCT tomorrow. Head down for kick-off at 18h30 and show your support and maybe even join them for the tunnel party afterwards. Next Fourths Game The Fourths swing back into action this weekend with a home game against Langa. It is a must win game for the Boys from Brookeside if they are to make it to the playoffs. Afterwards watch the Boks play. Hopefully they have made some progress. Last week they made less progress than an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping (stolen from Black Adder). Fourths Golf Day And lastly keep your eyes open for the next Fourths golf day. We are heading back to our original venue, Simon’s Town golf course. It is much more our vibe and besides a small chance of death is a good fun course to play on. Provisionaly booked for first Sunday in October but we will keep you posted. Adios
13 August 2008 Stuff Well the 6 stop shuffle went off without too many hitches this past weekend and as soon as Stinky and I get over our technological incompatability I will post some pics. I have however finally managed to get Gazza to send me the pokeher pics........ whoops I meant poker. So check them out in the Gallery
08 August 2008 Now if we were childish we would put something up here about how we beat the Beanies to saying happy birthday to another one of their players, Sparky. Good thing we are not childish.
07 August 2008 We have another player earning their first start on the Brokeback Page. I will give you a hint: He is fairly tall and must have something wrong with the top of his head as he is never seen without a cap on.
06 August 2008 The 6 Stop Shuffle
Where will the loyalties lie? And how many Argey Jerseys will be coming out of the closet this weekend. Due to the lack of a match this coming weekend the Galetti Fourths have decided that as we are finely tjooned machines and need to stay in peak physical condition we will start Saturday off with some serious fitness combined with some team building. Thus the “6 Stop Shuffle” commences. This involves a mammoth 3.5 kilometre arduous marathon with 6 carbo (aka beer) loading stops in-between. As cross training is part of any good fitness routine lifting the carbs to our mouths will also workout our arms. This trek will be ending at Villagers Rugby Club Pub in time for the boys to get cleaned up and watch the Boks take on We invite everyone to come down and join us for the Bok game and to enjoy a couple of beers and to check if Jongi Nokwe has learnt to catch since the last time he donned the Green and Gold.
05 August 2008 Beenies take on Clarendon Our sister team the Shebeen Boys are taking on Clarendon in the UCT internal league tomorrow night (Wed 6 August). The game kicks off at 18h30 on the C field (Wynberg side). Lets head down and show our support.
04 August 2008 A Hammering to Helderberg The Galetti Fourths got their season back on track with their first away win of the season. The boys played some fantastic running rugby to come away with 37- 17 victory. Shimmy had to use all his skills not to score despite twice having an open tryline in front of him. Well done Shim Dog you managed to keep your never scoring for the Fourths record intact.
01 August 2008 The boys head out to Helderberg tomorrow to play their 5ths. Last time we played out there against this bunch we lost at the death 12 – 13. Despite the Ref’s (aka their injured Captain) best efforts to make us lose earlier. We need this win to stay in contention so let’s hope the boys can pull one off. Best of luck boys. Anyone wanting to head out to Strand tomorrow, the game kicks off out there at 3pm.
01 August 2008
Looking for a spot to kick off your Phuza Thursday then look no further than your friendly neighbourhood Oblivion. In the words of Oblivion’s generous owner Tracey it “Kicks off on Thursday 21st August, DJ sessions.....live DJ at Oblivion deep n funky house for the more adult groove 8pm till late”.
01 August 2008 Check out all the past 'Separateds' on the Separated at Birth Page.
Separated at birth Sparky and the Snail For those of you wondering about this one check out the Knysna half marathon times on Shebeen Boys site. Not sure if I mentioned it but Moby did a 1:38...
30 July 2008 Joyous Rapture. The universe has realigned, the chakras have opened, chi levels are high and my aura has been cleansed. In other words Tony is back in his white t-shirts and the world is in order again. (See post 18 July 2008)
28 July 2008 Fourths Falter in Ventersdorp (OK Durbanville really but that did not rhyme. And there was at least one guy there called Venter) The Galetti Fourths took a few lessons from the All Blacks in the game earlier on Saturday to put in a bit of a kak performance. Luckily the boys scored two late tries to at least come away with a bonus point. Final score 12 - 17 to DurBell. We drove all the way out there for that?? Well actually most of the guys went out there for the R14 double brandy and cokes (which actually looked a bit more like triples). But regardless we will need to up our game if we want to be in contention for a playoff spot. Full report to follow later.
25 July 2008 Sniffer Sniff No More
In a nasty training ground accident last night Sniffer’s nose got broken (Ironic I know given his nickname and all). His nose fought with the back of Barry’s head. Barry’s head won. On Another Note If you feel like an outing tomorrow (Saturday the 26th July) feel free to drive out to Durbanville and support the boys. Game kicks off at 4pm.
25 July 2008 Follow-up In a feeble attempt to win back favour the Shebeen Boys site posted some birthday greetings to Wazza at 17:30 yesterday evening. Bad friends! No biscuit!
24 July 2008 Happy Birthday Wazza T
Not that I am trying to cause any friction (yeah right!) but I do not see any birthday greetings on The Shebeen Boys site?? Now you know who your real mates are!
21 July 2008 The Galetti Fourths off to a Flyer The Galetti Fourths started the second have of the season with a resounding 50 - 12 victory over NNK 5ths. The game was played in great spirit and was just the start our recently returned prodigal coach needed. Welcome back Brad. Added: Read the full match report HERE.
18 July 2008 Undisputable proof that Tony does actually have a shirt that is not a white t-shirt …..
Although I suppose it could be a rental. A rare sight none the less.
15 July 2008 The Galetti Fourths Conquer Knysna
Well the Fourths took the Knysna Half Challenge with consummate ease. So much so that we are having an internal debate about whether we should even take it as a win. In our defence we did not know just how bad the Beenies were at running. I mean they look like they should be good at it. So following the “No Taking Candy From Babies” charter in the Galetti Fourths constitution we may have make this event null and void.
Naaaaa!! Only kidding of course we will take the points.
07 July 2008 News Just In!! Vella The Speed Demon will also be representing the Beenies
07 July 2008
Well the Gauntlet has been thrown and the Rubicon crossed as Wazza (the Official Shebeen Boys representative at the meeting held this Saturday) accepted the inter-club Knysna Half Marathon Challenge. It has been a while since we found something new to beat the Beenies at. Basic run down is as follows. We take the times of the top three finishes from each team and get an average time. The team with the lowest average takes it. And Beenies we don’t want any “New Recruits” to all of a sudden join you guys. So far the Galetti Fourths are represented by Dave “Wit Blits” Barber, Moby and Chuckles. The Shebeen Boys have Gazza “Slower Than He Looks” Fouche and Sparky. We were going to give Sparky extra time as he has to take twice as many steps to finish but then we remembered that it is cancelled out as Chuckles has to carry his nose for the whole 21kms. Who else do the Been Boys have? And I want to have seen the person before. If you all of a sudden have a skinny Kenyan as a member there is going to be trouble.
04 July 2008
Happy Happy to Sum-Yung Gaai (aka Dan).... Used to be our youngest member but not sure anymore.
27 June 2008 OK you got me. I posted this a day in advance so that I look like I am doing something every day. Anyway. For those keen the boys are still playing touch during the mid season break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So come down if you are keen on a run around. We have also had many questions about when the next Famous Galetti Fourths Poker Evening will be. We are thinking of having it on Friday the 1st of August (Complete with Tony's Tequila Midgets). Let us know by writing to us here on the Contact Us Page if you are keen. Include your name and contact number and we can contact you to pre-book. Spaces are limited.
26 June 2008 Stinky Stinky Stinky Whatever are we going to do with you??? Check it out
19 June 2008
Just a quick note to say that the boys at the Galetti Fourths appreciate the support of all of our biggest fans.
We are on our mid-season break now so things will be a bit quieter for the next few weeks.
13 June 2008 I Don't Want to Talk About It So if you want to know the result of the DurBell game then check out the Fixtures and Results page. Suffice to say they were better swimmers than we were. But I don't want to talk about it. How do you spell "Kaaaaaaaaak"? No really I don't want to talk about it.
12 June 2008 Some Funnies posted in the Funnies Page. As usual most of them are in poor taste.
11 June 2008 Braving The Rain and The Pain in The Ville The Galetti Fourths venture above and beyond the call of Duty tonight when they paddle out to Durbanville to take on DurBell. I unfortunately will be unable to attend as I have a fear of Brandy and Coke and Drowning. All of which I think there will be a good chance of encountering tonight. But if you are a brave soul then strap one on (or two if we are referring to water wings) and head out to DurBell rugby club tonight (Wednesday). Good Luck Boys. It is the last game of the first half of the season so give it horns!
09 June 2008 So Close but Yet so Far(kin annoying) Unlike Monica Lewinsky the Galetti Fourths came close but got no cigar. In a nail biting encounter where both sides played some great rugby, interspersed with some interesting refereeing interpretations the Fourths lost to the league topping UCT 5ths 25 – 26. It may seem right up there with “The cheque is in the mail” and “I did not have relations with that woman” in the classic fibs department but regardless “the full match report to follow shortly”.
04 June 2008 Fourths take on UCT 5ths The Galetti Fourths invite all you fans to come up to UCT this Saturday the 7th of June at 12h00. The game has been moved earlier to accommodate the Bok game at 15h00 so you will be well lubed by the time the Boks give those Welsh Mountain Goat Harassers a good lesson in animal husbandry. Check out the news flash in this regard (the game not the Goat Harassing).
03 June 2008 Hey Hey it's Sarg's Birthday He is officially three hundred and eighty two years old. And no he is not the Yeti (he is however a distant cousin).
02 June 2008 I are for breaking da interweb Was almost done updating the playa profile page but now think I have broken it. Hopefully it is not terminal (You know. Nothing a little African potatoe lightly sautéed in olive oil, garlic and lemon juice, with a bit of beetroot on the side won't cure).
28 May 2008
Check out some pics from Neighbourhood the other night in the Gallery where we had a meeting of the "I'm Thinning on Top Council". Only kidding was actually Gazza and Boep's birthday drinks. Spot the photo hog. Gazza is in all but one.
28 May 2008 We have a bye this weekend Just to let you know.
26 May 2008 Fourths Game Shed It seems Eskom is now in charge of field allocation for games in the reserve league. There was a bit of field shedding this weekend and 4 teams were scheduled to play on a space usually reserved for 2. This reduction in field capacity, which is obviously a colonial legacy, resulted in the Galetti Fourths not being able to play. Game will probably be re-scheduled but not sure for when.
19 May 2008
Fourths Flatten NNK In a rough game that saw more than a couple of injuries The Galetti Fourths saw off a hard challenge by NNK 5ths by 24 to 5. From what I hear NNK brought their boxing gloves to this one. But then again we are not playing tidly winks and a couple of well placed punches never hurt anyone….. Well I suppose except the guy getting punched. A more comprehensive match report to follow shortly. Our next 3 games are away and The Galetti Fourths would appreciate your support at these games. So who feels like going to Langa this coming weekend?
15 May 2008
Check out The Good Wingman Guide on the News page. Warning: If you are a feminist or a CB this article might get your panties in a bunch.
14 May 2008
Game on Friday Our game against the infamous NNK 5ths is officially on this Friday night the 16th of May at 19h45. The weather promises not to be completely crap and as usual the booze is cheap.
I am not sure if the rest of NNK is playing on Friday but if not you may just see the NNK 1sts/2nds playing against the mighty Galetti Fourths if their previous track record is anything to go by. Regardless it promises to be a great way to start the weekend. See you there!
Pink Pages have been updated
13 May 2008
Fourths Suffer Cranial Methane Expulsion More commonly known by it’s street name, the “brain fart”. The Galetti Fourths were 24 to nil up with a good 25 minutes to go and safely cruising home against NNK 4ths on Friday night. Then a combination of bringing on all the subs at once and the opposition actually starting to play led to a dire last spell in which the dodgy boerewors munchers managed to score 24 unanswered points. So we went from bonus point and win in the bag to a 24 all draw. Not our finest work.
That all said and done the guys are willing to learn from this and move forward. Bring on the NNK 5ths this coming weekend. We are not sure if we are playing Saturday of Friday night yet but we will keep you in the loop. Check out pics from the away game to Helderberg and the drinks after in the Gallery.
12 May 2008 Breaking News Contrary to popular belief Shimmy can actually straighten his legs. Yes folks you heard it here first!
09 May 2008
OK Sorry for the lack of updates but the useless web guy (aka me) has been deathly ill with Bollerro. A horrible disease carried by Mongolian crabs. Nasty stuff. Well at least that is what is Dr. Ungubonethruthenose told me. But on the plus side he gave me a cream that will not only get rid of the Bollerro but will also fix my small penis, marriage problems and money problems. Pretty good trick, as I am not even married. Well done to the boys from the Galetti Fourths who gave UCT 4ths a good lesson in rugby on Wednesday the 30th of April when they pummelled them 31 – 5. Regular sized fullback Mike (as opposed to Giant Fullback Mike) scored 3 tries. Tim let the side down again by missing 2 kicks. He thought he could make up for it by scoring 2 tries but I am not so sure. Watch out Tim, Milf is waiting for his chance to take over the kicking duties. Join us tonight, Friday the 9th of May at 7:45pm at NNK in Parrow (now there's a tempting offer) where we take on NNK 4ths. The boys are playing some great rugby with the extra fitness really telling. Lets keep it up.
30 April 2008 Seems Leader is ready for tonights game. This about sums up his mood.
....And Milf plans to do this to his opposite prop!
29 April 2008 See whose sister made the Hotties Page
29 April 2008 Happy Birthday Stinky I would put up a picture of you but why should I when there are so many pics of you on the Pink Pages
24 April 2008 Fourths Birthday
A big Galetti Fourths Happy Birthday to Clint “Let my Mates Down in the Cricket” Berks. Hope you have a good one.
02 April 2008
National Cleavage Day 4th of April In Anticipation of this great day we encourage all Fourths members to send in photos of their relevant others’ cleavages and send them in. We will be more than happy to post them on the Hotties page.
02 April 2008
Check out the latest Create the Caption page. Submit your caption and if it is vaguely funny (did you read that Sum-Yung? It has to be funny) then I will put the caption up.
27 March 2008 2 Oceans Results
Hey well done to the Fourths boys that ran the 2 Oceans. I don’t have all the times but here are a few. Tequila Tony – 2:25 Vella – 2:15 (Ok so he is not a Fourths man but I needed to make up the numbers) Rich Smithers – Used the withdrawal method
19 March 2008 The Fourths Take The Derby
Well the Fourths kicked their season off on a great note with a solid thumping of Hammies 4ths. Although not a league game it does bode well with some good skills shown in the backs and a solid performance up front. Final score was 43 – 12 to The Fourths. Unfortunately none of the other Village open sides could pull off a win. The Firsts though put in a valiant attempt and came close to upsetting a star studded Hammies First Side.
On a different note we want to wish those Fourths members doing the Two Oceans this weekend the best of luck. Keith and Richie are doing the half and Greens is doing the ultra (Is this the same Greens who could not play at the end of last year because he had knee trouble???)
It also seems we have some infiltrators into the heart of the Shebeen Boys camp. Sparky’s (aka Klippies, aka Mark K as apposed to Danny K…but they do look similar) sister was seen secretly giving the Fourths sign at a recent Been Boy’s event. What was that about blood being thicker than Guinness?
12 November 2007 The Coaching Legend
The Fourths coach Brad Strauss and some other guy called John or Jake White or something. |
