Game 5 v Arana

As kick-off rolled round it appeared that the high and mighty Arana XV were a no show due to their heads being located too far up their rectums.  Keen to play footy we got on the blower to the Arana Dean and quizzed him on his teams whereabouts. He informed us that the whole team aspires to be a fucking brain surgeon and were at a health sci test and that they would be late. Classic Ar-rana, arrogant pricks. When they did finally show, they were among some of the biggest and darkest social rugby players Logan Park had ever seen who tackled around the collar, rather than the bootlaces and were probably more excited about the possibility of throwing a handful of knuckles rather than dotting down. As per usual, scrappy and exhilarating footy prevailed with the Verses triumphing over the hot-headed fresher’s 5 tries to three. Fuck Arana! 

MVP: Will Ward

2 Points: Mason - dotted down

LVP Bill Rabbitt for living in the past

The Dental Ba Ba’s and fellow breathers provided fuck all competition for a frothing fourth round Verses line-up eager to post their first win of 2013. A bias representation of our indigenous brothers took to the field for the Barbarians, which can only really be justified by the quota system. Vintage Verses footy made some good viewing with Big Wilbur continuing his Stella form and making some blockbusting runs down the sideline and Wellsy peeling of over a kilometer of yards with pill in hand. It didn’t take long for Chesney Fitzgibbon to zero in on the smallest dentist he could find, making a mockery of his rugby playing ability and probably put him of playing in the OUSA competition ever again. At one point Chesney was so disgusted by this kids lack of talent he seen fit to through the gherkin at his head and give him a classic Fitzgibbon barreling which I’m sure more than most of you reading this are well accustomed too. Shit lids provided stability in the back line putting Monsta Mitchell in countless holes, helping the lads to notch up the first win of the season, yeye!

Congratulations to Samuel Maynard and Camper Harvey for playing 50 games.

MVP:  Cheeeeeeeeese Wells

2 Points: Wilbur Young – Fuck he is in form

LVP:  Drozdak – for his McAlister like drop goal attempt

Game 3 v Maka Mad Boys

A sunny Dunedin morning set the stage for the highly anticipated Satanic v Maka clash. A thirty plus contingent of Verses fronted, eager to shaft the bong hitting, Remuera dwelling jafa’s, who quite frankly would be better suited spending their Saturday morning sipping a flat white at the Good Oil rather than tossing a pig skin around Logan Park.  As it would happen however, this marginal pack of humans pieced together not a bad version of the 15 man code, making life difficult for us at the break down and near impossible to win a fucking line out.  As the match panned out it appeared that this wasn’t just any old Saturday morning hack around, but rather an epic battle between the humble Stag loving lads from the City of Dreams and the flamboyant pinga heads from AK city. Trailing by 3 going in to the final quarter, it was time for a show of some Devil Red goodness to fire up the troops. With only minutes left on the clock, the Verses hot on attack, Dirty Mike spotted an unmarked man in a red jumper hanging out wide. Cool under pressure Dirty went to his favoured right boot sending the pill sideways and completely catching the Maka’s of guard. Lambeth made light work of an ugly bounce before shuffling the egg onto a balding Roodie who ran in what has been dubbed the greatest 5 pointer ever to be scored in the Satanic jersey. The boys went bananas, not only had we just witness a moment of sporting greatness, but the Verses were in the lead, 12-10.  Too bad the ref decided to play 6 minutes of over-time allowing the Maka’s to run in a couple of soft tries and come away with a very controversial 20-12 victory taking with them the John Kirwan Trophy.  What a complete and utter fuck up. The boys were destroyed, but in true Verses fashion we kept our heads up and headed back to the Pen for beers, durries and speed rounds. We’ll get em next year lads.
