Dinner-Dance - many thanks to Barbara Osborn who arranged this year's Dinner-Dance, once again it was a complete sell-out and a good time was had by all - I think, well I can't remember much so it must have been good. For those of you also bless with alcohol induced amnesia the winners of the awards were :

  • Players' Player - J. Druce
  • 1st XV Player - J. Druce
  • 2nd XV Player - T. Exley
  • 3rd XV Player - B. Ralston
  • Vets Player - A Claypole
  • Vets Players' Player - A Claypole
  • Clubman - J. Kinghorn
  • Young Player - N. Jackson
  • Most Improved - J. Greenwood
  • President's Award - G. Forster/P. Knowles
Volunteer Awards went to P. Mackie, J. Lockwood, G. Forster & P. Knowles.

Blog Alert ! - apparently, the President's Blog has run out of bandwith - as with many of you we have absolutely no idea what this means (well actually we do but we don't like to be bigheaded) - but it means you will not be a ble to read any words of wisdom from the President (not that there were any words of wisdom there anyway !). Please bear with us and we'll ensure that normal service is returned as soon as possible.

Last Hurrah - the final games of the season saw the Vets lose 32-25 to Roundhegians Vets. Paul Exley, Ted Lester and Pete Booth wer amongst the scorers.The 3rd XV also ended on a low note with a 24-15 loss to Burley II. Ben Ralston, Granville Sellars and Tony Exley crossed the whitewash.
The Club AGM is on Monday at 7.30 pm, followed, next Friday by the Dinner-Dance and Awards Ceremony

Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahh!!!! - after twenty two years of the Aire-Wharfe Cup, Aireborough finally got their name on the trophy with a superb win against Old Otliensians in the final at Chaffers Field. Aire went behind to an early try from 'Ensians but struck back with a Nathan Smith try and a James Druce try which he converted to give them a 12-10 half time lead.
Two early penalties from Druce pulled Aire away before Matt Osborn scored the try of the match, converted by Druce, to open up a 25-13 lead. 'Ensians rallied and came back with a late try before Druce sealed victory with a late penalty, making the final score 28-20 to Aire. The win was not without cost as hooker Nick Jackson was stretchered off with concussion and Graham Turner, who moved into hooker, left the park with a broken nose. However, it was skipper Craig Stanley who lifted the trophy from Skipton Properties Representative Greg Marchbank
