31/12/06 13:08pm	Goose	Thanks for all those who came down to take part in the Xmas game. And to those who didn't without proper reason, pull yourselves together. I would like to add that from a neutrals point of view, the Wales side dominated and played by far the better rugby. However credit where credit is due, somebody on the rest of the world team had the foresight to bribe the ref.......... Shocking!!! Altogether now.... Oh I wish I was a mushy mushy pea................................... Happy new year knuckle heads!!	Rhos On Sea
24/12/06 20:51pm	Elwyn Thomas	Well done lads. A really gritty performance against the "old enemy" yesterday and yet again the last 10 mins!!! We need to say no more. There were some massive performances yesterday and it would be unfair to single out one person but I feel that I must commend Early for his leadership and discipline. Let's keep up this tempo against the Covis and redress the first game of the season. Best wishes for 07 to everyone Elwyn	Rhos On Sea
23/12/06 20:48pm	Adam Vallor	Great result boys, congratulations. Happy Holidays!	Ontario, Canada
23/12/06 11:11am	Goose	Could anyone with anything else to say on my behalf please post it by the 38th December. Many thanks and a happy Christmas to you all. p.s. I can not wait for the Xmas game as I am certainly looking forward to putting the boot in on a few of my "mates". Also seen as how quotes appear to be the order of the month, I have a special one for a truly special person, the one and only Mr Chris Hughes - 'revenge is a dish best served with a fishcake pal!!' Good luck today against Llandudno u helms!!	Rhos On Sea
22/12/06 20:44pm	Sion Morris	Good luck tomorrow boys - just give it them!	Holywell
22/12/06 02:50am	Steve Davidson	Adam, I 'work' nights.	Colwyn Bay
21/12/06 17:47pm	Adam Vallor	Steve, I see you have nothing better to do than sit up till 1am researching famous quotes, good stuff! that's commitment! great result Saturday from the 1sts, is there any danger of the seconds ever getting a game? it sounds like they are putting in some truly committed performances, and I'm sure the results will follow. with that, I'll leave you with something from the great David Brent.. "Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy. Turn the knob of mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day in the average office." ciao	Ontario, Canada
21/12/06 00:56am	Steve Davidson	With regards to our loss and then win against Bala within 7 days; I think it was King Harold II who said "What does not kill us, can only make us stronger" He died soon afterwards at The Battle of Hastings in 1066. A lesson there for all of us.	Colwyn Bay
21/12/06 00:40am	Steve Davidson	Much has been written about the benefits of Judo training in the modern rugby age. The All Blacks being the most obvious of supporters of Judo training. I also note the Welsh team has been ordered to start Judo training. Colwyn Bay Judo club is based at the local Leisure Centre and currently has three CBRFC members who all love it. Perfect for off season training.	Colwyn Bay
21/12/06 00:31am	Steve Davidson	I watched the 1st's avenge their defeat against Bala on Saturday. It was a bruising encounter, blood, injuries, Sion sin binned....It was nice to see the Bay pack answer their critics and 'front up' against the aggressive Bala pack. In particular I admired the work rate and courage of Chris Hughes. Week in week out he is the quiet backbone of the bay Back, putting in the unseen graft. His previous captaincy was too much too soon, but I feel the future beckons for this young lad. We won't be losing him to Uni or such whimsical distractions. I hope one day in the near future we will see him again in a suitable leading role.	Colwyn Bay
20/12/06 12:20pm	Neil Pickering	I never knew there were so many intellectual members in the Bay, I enjoyed reading the comments below. I'll be watching the Llandudno game on Sat and look forward to turning out for 'Wales' against the 'Rest of the World'.	Stoke on Trent (Longton RUFC)
19/12/06 16:44pm	Peter Rice	Regarding the previous "one liners". The one attributed to Brian Moore is very true, remember it on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!	Old Colwyn
19/12/06 16:14pm	Phil Roberts	Some one liners for you - thanks of "Past times" That session was as tough as you'll ever get considering the conditions. We put in 46 scrums in 42 minutes, but it was absolutely necessary if we are to succeed - Anon South African rugby has a virile image; they like to breed massive sturdy men and I guess someone like me knocking them over creates an identity crisis - Scott Gibbs The backs preen themselves and the forwards drink - Dean Richards No one is unstoppable - Tony Underwood on Jonah Lomu They always lose when it matters - Bernard Laporte on England One of the things that a forward finds difficult is to run and think at the same time Scott Quinnell You play the ref on the day, if he says black is white then for eighty minutes black is indeed white Brian Moore The relationship between the Welsh and English players is based on trust and understanding. We don't trust them and they don't understand us With that a merry crimbo to you all and lets do the biz on Sat.	Rhos On Sea
18/12/06 15:48pm	Phil Roberts	Can I start by saying, that the post-its forum is a little gem. I thought I would crack this e-mail in support of Jon Shaw who is doing a great job. Remember, ' the most wasted of all days is one without laughter ' as Johnny Cash once said	Rhos On Sea
15/12/06 16:41pm	Richie Evans	Good luck to the firsts in the cup tomorrow, keep focussed and you will put this last week behind you!! You know you can do it!	Old Colwyn
15/12/06 12:55pm	Jon Shaw	Merry Christmas Phil!! I didn't think it was you as you obviously haven't got a sense of humour! Ho Ho Ho - Good luck 1sts this weekend!	Colwyn Bay
15/12/06 12:43pm	The REAL Phil Roberts - or is it???	Regarding the comments I supposedly made on the website quoting chuck Norris and Mickey Rooney, ha ha very funny. However I am aware that these comments get vetted before they are posted and as what I am about to say concerns the man who vets them I doubt this will get posted. Anyway here goes. Dear Jon Shaw, I thought that it would be quite obvious that the people whose names are being attached to these comments are not the people posting them. To have received three comments posted from 1st team players in the space of a week quoting some famous and some not so famous people, would sort of give the game away to anyone with half a brain. That is of course unless the person posting them is merely a puppet on a string. By that I mean that a certain individual is, as he has done before ringing yourself up to make sure his comments get posted. So to either Dave Brown, Chris Hughes or Bryn Williams, very well done a very original concept. I'm sure your families will be so very proud of you!! And to John Shaw, think on, if it sounds like a joke it probably is.	Rhos On Sea
13/12/06 17:18pm	Mark Lewin	Some interesting points made re the Bala game last Saturday. However, the opportunity to front up and compete from the off is available to Bay and I sincerely hope that the boys put in a display worthy of the efforts put forth on the training ground. Injuries to any player are inevitable in a collision sport and sledging and banter from both touch lines is an inevitable aspect of the game. I trust that 'un-named Bala' supporter has the good grace to realise that the actions of a few supporters in the heat of the moment are not indicative of an entire club, team and supporter base. Bala got the result through sheer hard work and to lose a key player whose distribution provided the platform for a solid attrition based attack is a great shame. Lets have more of the same and a great game of rugby with a score line to even up. Of course, in Colwyn Bay's favour!!!	Mold
13/12/06 15:45pm	Peter Rice	In reply to the unnamed Bala supporter I apologise for the comments made regarding the injury to their scrum half these were unfortunately heat of the moment comments but should not have been made. After the game I personally spoke to those responsible to remind them that such actions were not condoned and that they reflected poorly against CBRFC and that under no circumstances will they be tolerated, hopefully all will be well this Saturday. At least I have put my name to this apology.	Old Colwyn
12/12/06 17:51pm	Richie Evans	just like to thank the 13 players who were able to turn up on Saturday to play against Benllech and also to max and Dave Jones it was a really gutsy performance and once again we attacked them from the off. won good lineout ball pushed them all over the park and forwards/backs worked in harmony. Training Wednesday for big game against Rhos Wrexham dont forget, keep focused and keep the fire in your stomachs	Old Colwyn
12/12/06 15:05pm	Ben Ginge	Just to back up what Mark Earl said in training (Mon11/12/06), we must move on after Saturday. 'You can't turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again', as Nick Finch once famously said. We are building something good down at the club but it takes time, or as Figaro put it 'little by little one travels far '. Chin up boys.	Llandudno
12/12/06 08:40am	Unnamed Bala Supporter	Re: Sat,09/12/06. Very disappointed in attitude of Bay supporters re comments made re the serious injury (broken collarbone) to our scrum half-shocking behaviour.	Bala
11/12/06 19:15pm	Jon Shaw	I would suggest that the 1st XV (or some of them!) stop quoting movie stars and concentrate on playing good rugby as we all know your capabilities. Very disappointing result last week. Lets see if we can re group and play with fire in your hearts this weekend. Its very important that all players are available to confront the Bala pack and get possession of ball to the outstanding backs we have.	Colwyn Bay
11/12/06 16:54pm	Peter Rice	Saturday 09/12/06 - sorry words fail me!!!!	Old Colwyn
11/12/06 16:38pm	Chris Hughes	The game on Saturday came as a massive disappointment, both individually and as a team. We need to re-group and re-focus quickly before next sat. One of the main things we need to look at is, our discipline. I think it was Chuck Norris who said ' Men are like steel. When they lose their temper they lose their worth'. Having said that, we should still keep our belief in reaching the goals we recently set ourselves. Those being, to challenge at the top of the league and have a good cup run. After all, wasn't it Mickey Rooney's saying that 'You always pass failure on the way to success'. Also remember, we win as a team and lose as a team. A point that at times gets over looked! See you all training this week.	Rhos On Sea
10/12/06 09:41pm	Steve Davidson	If Carlsberg made away fixtures............... I'm still looking back in disbelief on yesterdays 2nd team fixture away to Benllech. We arrived short of players, and they loaned us THEIR TWO BEST PLAYERS! One of which proceeded to score a hat trick and be awarded Man of the Match. If only all clubs were as friendly and hospitable as Benllech. As at this grassroots level there really is no need for macho competition. The sport of Rugby should always be the winner.	Colwyn Bay
7/12/06 17:36pm	Phil Roberts	Massive game Saturday, but one in which we all know is well within our capabilities. The victories against Ruthin, Mold and Nant Conwy where fantastic achievements but mean nothing on their own. We all know the work that has been done both on and off the field to get to where we are today, but it's now that the hard work really starts. It's time to stand up and be counted, it's time to give those who have not only invested their own time and money into the club but who have believed in us and stuck by us through thick and thin something to finally cheer about. The great Ali once said that 'The measure of a man is how hard he hits, how fast he moves and how quick he thinks but the measure of a champion is much purer, the measure of a champion is his heart. To know he is beaten yet refuse to yield, to have nothing left to give and from somewhere find the strength to give it, to stare defeat in the face and tell it that if your taking me today, you sure as hell aint taking me alive' So lets fight till we can't fight no more and bring the good old days back to Colwyn Bay Rugby Club!!	Old Colwyn
4/12/06 12:48pm	Geoff Taylor	Congratulations to Brian Roberts on his award from all the Mermaids.	Penrhynside
2/12/06 20:02pm	Tony Lumby	Would like to add my congratulations to Ray Caldwell for his Race night (thanks also to the customers at THE PARK). A fantastic contribution to funds. Sorry I wasn't there to support the event. More support from the rest of the club please. These youngsters we are introducing to Rugby are CBRFC's next generation of senior players - tours are expensive but they're a great way to cement the children's interest in rugby & get some true rugby type comradeship going.	Old Colwyn
27/11/06 19:50pm	Ann Tilakawardane	Well done to the Under 14 Mermaids for Sunday's fantastic effort. I was very proud of you all, especially when you came back fighting in the last minute to win against the odds! Keep up the good work.	Llanddulas
27/11/06 12:58pm	Geoff Taylor	Congratulations to Issy Jones of the U17 Mermaids on her selection to the Welsh Students squad and to wish her good luck against British Colleges on Sunday.	Penrhynside
27/11/06 9:59am	Geoff Taylor	Congratulations to the U-14 Mermaids team, their coaches and manager for a great game winning away at Nant. The support for the girls was fantastic, thanks to all who attended.	Penrhynside
21/11/06 21:19pm	Tame Heke	Yes please Steve it's the 2nd right after the 3rd right..WELL DONE BOYS KEEP IT UP	Tauranga New Zealand
21/11/06 15:54pm	Elwyn Thomas	Well done Dave and all the squad - your performance on Sat. was out of the top drawer - your defence was second to none and when opportunities came you took them well. But above all you showed superb fitness. Well done the 2 Marks for fitness and tactics. More of the same please.	Rhos on Sea
20/11/06 12:29pm	Emma Jones	Yet another (cold) but exciting Saturday afternoon watching Marks boys perform another great win I'm sure I speak on behalf of Mark when I say I'm rather proud and couldn't think of a better way to spend my Saturday afternoons (other than Mark takes the credit Card off Me???!!!) What will I do when Mark retires? Well done Boyz!	Rhos on Sea
19/11/06 08:56am	Stevie Davidson	Well done to 1st team, would be nice for this fantastic time of strength to cascade throughout the club. The 2nds again lost heavily, going to Denbigh with no replacements. Other clubs seem to turn out 2 very strong senior teams easily. Lets use our great 1st team strength to create sustainable growth and develop a stronger 2nd team. Well done to 2nds lads who kept going against all odds yesterday.	Colwyn Bay
18/11/06 22:48pm	Peter Rice	What a performance against Ruthin great character and excellent team effort well done everybody including the replacements who weren't used but you are still part of the team so don't feel left out you are just as important as the 15 players on the pitch. Keep up these sort of performances great commitment.	Colwyn Bay
18/11/06 20:18pm	Mark Lewin	What can I say...? Fantastic display today at Ruthin. A tough venue, a very experienced team and a Bay side with a significant series of changes positionally. However, it became clear within the first ten minutes that bay were going to play the game their way; cool, clinical and concise. With the exception of a lapse in focus and concentration for the final 15mins of the first half which permitted Ruthin to mix things up and gain possession, Bay's determination and teamwork prevailed, denying Ruthin the ball and defending any short series of opposition possession with great effect. As a coach, I can think of no greater feeling than watching, with great pride, a squad gel together, train hard and embark on a mission to play their own brand of rugby and succeed in taking some notable scalps at home and away. Believe it boys, you are a squad capable of living at the upper end of the table. Very, very well done indeed. :)	Mold
16/11/06 12:11pm	Dave Edwards	Thanks Steve. If you can recommend a good surgeon who can do a quick knee replacement operation with a guaranteed recovery time to full fitness by 27 Dec 06, count me in.	Colwyn Bay
16/11/06 08:41am	Stevie Davidson	Hi Dave Edwards, yes I dont expect many of the 1st XV to play, far too precious. ha-ha. last year in all, 45 players played during the game. this year I expect you to be one of them.	Colwyn Bay
14/11/06 17:53pm	Adam Vallor	will there be any live streaming of the game on TV?? I dont want to miss something as big as Wales V the rest of the world! keep up the good work boys. how's Tommy?? Americans are shit at drinking.	Boston USA
14/11/06 13:18pm	Dave Edwards	Remember that the 1st XV has a North Wales Cup game at Home against Bala on Saturday 30 Dec 06. (We are trying to get this moved to 16 Dec 06 - but so far it is still booked for the 30th)	Colwyn Bay
13/11/06 07:06am	Stevie Davidson	Xmas Fun match Wales vs. Rest Of World XV has been pencilled in for Wednesday Dec 27th, day after Boxing Day. Gill has already put the Turkey Curry on slow cook. Tame I'll pick you and Bubba up if you want mate, is it turn right at Hong Kong?	Colwyn Bay
12/11/06 21:26pm	Tame Heke	Lucky I'm not there this year for Wales against the Rest of the World match...nah jokes. Hope you guys have fun!!	Tauranga New Zealand
12/11/06 04:23am	Stevie Davidson	Last year I changed the Xmas overs / unders game to a WALES v REST OF THE WORLD XV format. I'm hoping to do this again this year? It was far more competitive than the overs / unders game, with Wales eventually winning 36-34. Also we managed to attract a large number of players for it. Please start building the hype, so we can attract lots of players again this Xmas, and hopefully you non Welsh guys may be able to give us a game this year - ha ha.	Colwyn Bay
8/11/06 14:34pm	Luke Thomas	Hay, was just looking through the website and I noticed the player profiles for some of the senior players, I was just wondering whether this could be a good idea for the juniors and youth players. This could make website viewers see that we are a club the doesn't just hold the importance on senior players, but also takes time with the younger players too. I think this would benefit the club as a whole.	Mochdre
30/10/06 11:34am	Dave Edwards	A reality check!! A great start to the season, let's call the Denbigh game a hiccup. You had the beating of them in the first 15 minutes, so, what went wrong? The coaching team no exactly the issues that need addressing and I am sure that, between you all, you will get back on song for the Ruthin game in November. As Stato has said, you have a couple of weeks to reflect on Saturday's game, to recoup and regroup and give us some more of what we saw at Nant and Bethesda. There is a game at Bangor Normal on Monday evening 6 November 06. I would suggest a mixture of 1st & 2nd for this. Well done 2nds!! Flint are no slouches; it was a first class win. Keep it up!!	Colwyn Bay
29/10/06 20:46pm	Tame Heke	Hey how's it going boys? Looks like you guys are having a very good season without us (we may have been the problem, silly Kiwis) but I hope you boys keep it up for the season and like Peter and Richie are saying keep going to training...yeah that's about it for now keep up the good work...laters	Tauranga New Zealand
29/10/06 12:47pm	Richie Evans	I would just like to thank everybody who was involved in the second teams victory against Flint 1st XV. Just shows that when we work as a team and show no fear we will not be taken for granted, and that includes the subs well done boys!!!! lets keep the numbers up in training	Old Colwyn
28/10/06 21:52pm	Peter Rice	It was all said in the changing rooms nothing to add. Lets take this break as an opportunity to regroup and move forward for the rest of the season. On a personal note I would like to see a little more professionalism regarding attendance at training and in preparation before a game it seems to me that some think that turning up on a Saturday is sufficient, it isn't. - Pete	Colwyn Bay
26/10/06 19:41pm	Mark Lewin	Big game this Saturday boys. Always a tough side to breakdown and not a team to be taken lightly. Been a vintage season thus far, but you are still some way from showing everyone just how lethal you can be for 80mins against any team on any pitch. I am watching your development with great pride and have no doubt that you are now beginning to realise just how challenging it is to maintain winning a pattern. That said, you are demonstrating the capability to run the ball from any field position and accumulate points. Lets tighten up every aspect of the game this Saturday, dominate possession, control the tackle area and use every inch of space to pressure Denbigh's defensive line. The last few games have been fantastic to watch, if a little frenetic at times, and the net results have been very encouraging. You can and will fire on all cylinders for the full 80mins and will be one of the most difficult sides for opposition to get behind. Prior to going into this enforced break in the season, lets get everything into clear perspective this Saturday and play the game the "Bay Way" and achieve a result that puts your terrific work ethic, team spirit and determination into the front of every team in Division 4's mind. Make yourselves the team that defend, attack and create good quality rugby at every available opportunity and fully deserve to live at the upper reaches of the table throughout the season.	Mold
23/10/06 18:52pm	Adam Vallor	BOYS - first off, let me congratulate you all on an excellent start to the season, looking very sharp, and you are obviously looking like the flair team of the league!! Well, I have been in the States for about 4 months now, and all that football (soccer to the bloody locals) is not good for any one, so I decided enough was enough, and started looking for a way to cram a game of rugby into my hectic (3 hours of work a day) schedule!! I stumbled across a team in the South Boston area (good will hunting) called Old Gold. After getting in contact and telling them I had represented the might seahorses, I was told to turn up Saturday and I would play..... looking at the website I noticed that they named the countries of their international players, so obviously, I had to get in touch and ask, if I played Saturday, would they please add "Wales" to that list. In reply to this I was told that they could do me a deal, if I scored a try, the welsh FLAG gets put on the website.... well, obviously, what with me and my bad habit of scoring debut tries (1st team debut V Gorseinon!), I went a bagged a beauty!!! so with that, I'll ask you to check out www.oldgoldrugby.com and know that it the try (and the victory) is dedicated to Colwyn Bay Rugby Club. Regards - Adam Vallor (history maker!)	Boston USA
21/10/06 18:51pm	Peter Rice	What an excellent result against Bethesda must have been great to watch pity I couldn't make it. Should put you all in good heart for Dinbych next Saturday but lets not underestimate them it will be a tough game as they always are but one we can win. Well done everybody. A much happier old fart than last week. Pete.	Colwyn Bay
19/10/06 13:29pm	Ian Morris	Congratulations on the historic win last Saturday. The club is really on a high and there is a great spirit amongst the boys. However please don't allow this to be tainted with public criticism of the match official. It's a tough enough job as it is without being called an 'idiot' online. People make mistakes, we all do (especially props!!). Rest assured an issue like Saturdays will be resolved by the Union. keep up the good work Ian Morris	Colwyn Bay
17/10/06 10:44am	John Beagley	There is a lot in the old adage that games are won in the forwards and only the margin determined in the backs. We did particularly well in the scrummage, such that I could find no excuse to sneak on for an undeserved share in the glory. Shame we couldn't revel in sticking it to them, owing to the official with the whistle.	Rhos On Sea
17/10/06 10:16am	Ron Burke	It was the extreme effort of the forwards who kept Nant pinned on their own line for ages paving the way for a sensational victory. Ron Burke ( very happy old fart )	Penrhyn Bay
16/10/06 20:21pm	John Evans	Last Saturday I felt it a privilege to have been at the game against Nant. The sprit that the lads showed was an example to some of the more prominent welsh teams in the south. To come back from a 17 point deficit to win by 3 points showed great fighting sprit that made me feel proud to be a Bay supporter and member. If we can just continue in this style of play for the next few games it will put us in great sprit for the next derby against Llandudno. Keep up the good work. From John Evans.	Colwyn Bay
15/10/06 21:55pm	Dave Brown	Thanks for all the support members have been giving the team . It does help seeing so many travel and cheer the Boys on. The support on Saturday at Nant was Fantastic! And we will do our best to keep the results rolling in. Many thanks again - Dave Brown	Colwyn Bay
