Ball got thrown by Uppies over the beck but sadly for them, there were downies on the other side who threw it straight back.

by nicole.regan 4/18/2014 7:04:13 PM
It means there are soggy uppies wandering around, as they waded through the muddy beck in anticipation of the ball going up

Nothing's happening - Paul Clark's looking for some water. Ball hasn't moved - stuck near Navvies Bridge

There was a drone flying about above the game.

Uppies managed to get the ball over the beck, caught by Downies then an Uppie got it to run towards Opera Bingo and the scrum is on the ground opposite Wilkos car park.

Uppies in a commanding position, players now near bowling club. Ball thrown twice in quick succession by downie but Uppies taking control

by nicole.regan 4/18/2014 7:22:58 PM
Ball been out of scrum eight times in last three minutes.... John says "now this is getting really exciting"

by Chris 4/18/2014 7:28:14 PM
The next game is on Tuesday and the last game of the series is on the following Saturday, Chris.

by nicole.regan 4/18/2014 7:29:08 PM
Decent surge by uppies, near the beck now, four Uppies and Downies in water with reeds to check the depth of water, they've passed the message back to the scrum that it's knee deep. Rumours that less dedicated players are playing pooh sticks on Navvies Bridge are unconfirmed

by nicole.regan 4/18/2014 7:31:02 PM
Cheers for that Nicole, as I was just wondering

by Chris 4/18/2014 7:31:12 PM

by jacko 4/18/2014 7:36:28 PM
Slightly worried that my firend Sam Sandham is there - she was due to give birth eight days ago - don't get too near the scrum, Sam, they may think the ball is up your jumper!

by nicole.regan 4/18/2014 7:37:37 PM
