My old club is now called Leicester Lions who are fighting for survival in Nat 1 having played Moseley twice and lost both of them this season. Leicester Lions was formed when Westleigh and Wigston joined in 1998 to form the Lions. I played for Wigston in the 1970's, I think we played against Dixonians as well, name rings a bell, though it could have been a "pool" match, where if you remember, clubs/teams without a fixture went into the pool and names were put together for a match. If memory serves me right Moseley's 2nds were called "United" in those days.

Still getting over night frosts up here, so I hope they all still asleep just now.

In what was a bit of a damp squib as far as the Tigers were concerned, Gloucester won the final of the Premier Cup last night and well done to them, they have in the past come very close and won no silverware, so congratulations. However they visit Welford Road this weekend for the opening game of the latter part of the league season, so chance for revenge.

A family is eating dinner, son won't eat his sprouts, so Dad whispers in his ear and he eats the lot up and then leaves the table. Wife asks "what did you say to him? he replies " I told him his willy won't grow big if he doesn't eat his brussels" Wife smacks husband round the ear........................................................."what was that for" he asks ......................................................"for not eating your sprouts when you were a kid"

You are forgetting the "merit tables" where you didn't get awarded points for winning as that was seen as professional, so you had a percentage, then there was the John Player Cup which added a lot more to the interest at the top of the game. There were also the "County" games, which were seen as a stepping stone to an international call up and finally there were the regional games who came together as a scratch side to play touring Southern Hemisphere sides. At the other end of the game where I played, we had fixtures against second teams of the likes of Leicester, Northampton and Moseley as well as those arranged by our fixture secretary. I was told by ours that if we offered a decent meal after the game we got better fixtures, the fact we often won our County Cup and provided players for the county team, it didn't matter so much as to what beer or food we had on offer.

I went to Eton...............................................................................just for the day, my mates band were playing there, we had to arrive in the morning for an evening gig, we had a tour, then we were fed before the gig, the building was nice, the kids were ok, the staff were rather pompous and the food was rather average, better than the greasy spoon we went in later, but my mums was better.
