Dalziel 1st XV 11 v 6 Whitecraigs

[Dalziel PostBot]

It had been billed as a tight game and some of the Whitecraigs players, with their choice of playing attire, took it quite literally. Prior to kick off there was a minutes silence in memory of Bill McLaren, all at Dalziel have fond memories of the legendary commentator.



When the game kicked off on the dull, damp, afternoon the Dalziel support new that their team had not taken the field in over six ...Read More

yeh Ross - I love that one too.

Andy, is that when you realise that you're gonna make the line and it all comes into focus. Up to that point you're just looking for a speedy gonzales support runner to take on the burden.

the wave as he bursts over the line is total andy though. you'd have thought it were a game of touch - not a top-of-the-table clash!

There was only three points between Scottish Hydro National 1 league leaders Dalziel and Whitecraigs when they met at Aurs Road earlier in the season and second in the table 'Craigs came close again at Dalziel Park but the leaders managed to stretch their lead at the top.
Two Robert Simpson penalties to one by Ally Stevenson saw Dalziel 6-3 ahead at the break but it was lock Andy Hill's interception and eighty yard burst for the only try of the game which clinched it for Dalziel.

Stevenson slotted an injury time penalty for Whitecraigs to snatch a losing bonus but Dalziel now have to be odds on to take the National 1 title.

Eddie I was always going 2 make it even if someone caught me it would have been a fend and over. I made it by a country mile pulled away from there 10. Once i get going im no slouch. I reckon i would give any of the backs from Saturdays game a run for their money bar Big Ross and Rab.

I dont know wot i need to do, I could have single handedly beat whitecraigs but i let we rab slot a few, can someone xplain 2 me why Richie Gray and not Andy Hill? Robinson needs his head looked at.

Here's the first entry for Cammy's caption competition for Andy's try scoring picture

I think Andy is saying -

" I really must stop fannying around and get closer to the posts "

Andy , my boy , score it first then celebrate . If you had dropped that ball you would have become a Dalziel legend for all the wrong reasons - might have taken the pressure off a certain back row buddie of mine though.......

[AndyHill]

Dad, you of all people should know a man of my talents would never drop that ball. It was always going to be taken to the house!

Bobby - now we know where all the match balls are
