Late publishing of this is entirely down to the tech team, this time. Mea Culpa.

I can't believe it is Friday already. Admittedly most of my week has been spent hunkered down in my sett with Badger-flu. It's very similar to man flu except no one gives a t*ss when I ring the little bell for sympathy. However, as my father always said "if you're looking for sympathy, you will find it somewhere between sh!t and syphilis"
Hmmmm - anyway - onto the weekend.

The 1st XV this weekend travel away to Shelford for a 2pm kick off - looking to keep up the pressure on league leaders Tonbridge Juddians!
The 2nd XV also travel this weekend - with Shelford being their opponents.
Team sheets below.
The 3rd XV and the strollers have a weekend off and are expected on parade in the Hand in Hand for 4pm drinking and fine sessions.

On Sunday we see the Dons only home fixture with the Ladies XV playing Drybrooke. Support is actively encouraged.

Good luck to all our teams playing and to Rory from the Strollers who will once again lose his shirt... probably.

Right that's all from me. I shall now return to my miserable flu-ridden existence. Please remember, if anyone from the government or the Farmer's Union asks, it is definitely Badger-flu and in no way is it Bovine TB - I am not kidding about this!

Have a good one.

Big Love

Badger
