MOSELEY RUGBY CLUB
*****PRESS RELEASE******

“Moseley v Plymouth – A purist’s encounter both on and off the field!”
RFU Championship Saturday Sept 22nd @ 3pm. Billesley Common, Birmingham B13 0PT

Saturday’s potentially thrilling encounter this Saturday between Moseley and a resurgent Plymouth Albion at Billesley Common will be one for the purists.

Moseley will be buoyant by the win in the Channel Islands last weekend but Plymouth will be equally confident having defeated Leeds by 32-31 on the same day to go third in the embryonic league table.

Steadily improving performances in a more expansive style of play suggest that the best is yet to come from Moseley and with two teams committed to running rugby, this game should be one for both sets of supporters and neutrals to savour.

The home crowd will look forward to seeing last weekend’s hat trick hero Charlie Haytor (centre), deadly kicker Ollie Thomas and stand out flanker Ben Pons while for Plymouth, new head coach Nat Saumi has brought in an impressive international second row pairing of Brett Beukeboom (Canada) and Rupeni Nasiga (Fiji).

Five Real Ales for the purist
There were five fixtures between the clubs last season and to complement this there will be a choice of five Real Ales available: Ruddles Best, Greene King IPA, Old Golden Hen, Greene King IPA Gold and Moorland Original.

Corporate hospitality boxes are available for this (and future matches) at a very reasonable £599 which includes (for 12 people) admission, quality hot buffet, preferred parking, match day programmes, waiter service bar facility – and a great view. More details on all the above on the club website www.moseleyrugby.co.uk

What is wrong with our local suppliers of real beer?

Wye Valley and Purity provide an excellent product sourced from local suppliers.
I know the rep from Wye Valley who was so chuffed to get in at MRFC. I know how Greene KIng operate inferior product sold to you cheaply.
I understand profit margins have to be maximised but letting the National brewers in is bad news!!

It is sad, but the financial stability of the club has to be supported. It's a done deal now, and there's no allowance for guest beers like Purity or Wye Valley. Some of the GK ales are actually pretty good, though I shall continue to stock up on bottles of Mad Goose at home.

Great to see Greg back. Was worried that his injury was much more serious. Shame that Mike Powell isn't available. Be very interesting to see how Lockley and Lawrence fare. And Dave Hilton on bench ... what's happenend to Ethan Waller?

Mail: Moseley demand better performance to back up Jersey victory against Plymouth Albion

[CJB1]

Has somebody jumped up and down on Simon Hunt and Craig Voisey and squashed them? ;D

Isn't Dave Hilton our new forwards coach who is aged about 52 and a half? Joking aside it reflects the worry some of us have about our strength in depth. Nevertheless being a 'Scotsman' I'm sure if called upon he will be outstanding.

On another matter many thanks to Steve and all the others who keep finding and posting snippets, highlights and articles from newspapers and other media. I and I'm sure others greatly appreciate it.

I must say I struggle to understand why there were apparently only 852 in attendance. It seemed a lot more to me.
