I have just been informed that the U13s are unable to provide bodies for 0900 – 1200 on Tuesday for Bag Packing in Asda to help raise funds for the club! Can anyone please help, even if only for an hour or two so that we don’t let ASDA down . They have been good to us in giving us this opportunity and not fulfilling it may jeopardise our favoured status with them in the future. We need at least 12 bodies Please call / email me with offers ASAP and we’ll try and rescue this situation

Interesting Pullover Contest - Winners
Many thanks to all competitors for making this event a huge success. It brought out the artistic inner person in many, especially the three prize winners, Chubs, Elwyn and Lemon. There were 12 competitors which raised £60.00 in entrance fees. A further £40.00 was donated to the contest by non competitors, to who we are most grateful. It was agreed that 50% of the entrance fees plus other donations was to go to the Alder Hay Children's Hospital and 50% divided between the three best Interesting Pullovers. The three prize winners generously returned their winnings to go into the Alder Hay Fund. This provided us with a total of £100.00. That's not bad for a bit of after match fun on a Saturday evening. Thanks Mark, Elwyn and Dave for your kind gesture. Finally, thanks to Llanidloes first XV captain and his team mates for judging the event. As we say, without a referee we can't have a contest, your selection of prize winners was endorsed by all. We will have to think of something equally as silly for next year. Best wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year. There, that's saved me a fortune in cards and stamps!

Interesting Pullover Contest
The contest will take place this Saturday, 6 December 2008. We have 15 contestants so far, and are looking for at least a further 5. The list is in the club house, on the wall, by the kitchen entrance. The contest rules are in a box below the list. It is envisages that the judging will take place about 5.00 pm - 5.30 pm. All contestants are therefore asked to be wearing their "Interesting Pullovers" by 5.00 pm at the latest. (The earlier you start wearing them the better, it will give the judges more time to examine form before making their official selection) If you have not already done so, get your name on the list and join in the fun.

Re: Aled note re Training tops, great idea, shame that some individuals have still not paid annual subs but are prepared to pay for tops.

Lads, those of you who've ordered a training top through me. The tops are now ordered and paid for, will be arriving this week and should be embroidered by the weekend with club badge and player initials. I'll need the £20 for the tops at training either tonight (Monday) or on Wednesday. If you can't make training this week drop me a line on 07734259554 and we can sort some other arrangements. No cash no top gents.

I'm very sorry to see that Ian Morris is no longer Refereeing  in North Wales or at all.   He was someone I looked up to as a  team mate and was a great servant to the  1st team and senior sides,  As a Referee  he commanded the pitch and was always fair and well respected, As he mentioned he still trained with senior sides when he could make it, And was always willing to explain rules and give guidance to the players. So as a player and clubman I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Ian, And wish him all the best for the future.

CBRFC Annual Golf Day 2008
A belated thank you to all who turned up on what was probably the worst weather throughout a very bad summer. There were 16 players in total making up four, four ball matches. Congratulations to Arwel Edwards on winning the competition with a very respectable 32 points. (I think it had something to do with his expensive waterproof clothing!!). Considering the conditions, any score that day was very good including John Stobbs' 5. At least you stayed the course John, not like some, who's names I won't mention.  
Terry has booked the course for 12 September 2009 for next year's competition. However, as it is desirable to have the competition when the 1st XV are playing at home, I have asked the golf professional at Rhos if we can have some flexibility over this date. He has agreed the following: CBRFC receives the fixtures for 2009/10 season early July 2009, If CBRFC 1st is playing at home on either 5 or 19 September 2009, so long as the course is not booked for either of these dates, he is willing to change the date from the 12 Sep 09. If we are playing at home on the 12 Sep 09, all well and good.  
I know this is a long way off, but better to get dates into diaries sooner rather than later. For the time being it is 12 Sep 09. I hope it will not cause too much inconvenience if this is changed later.

Interesting Pullover Competition
A further reminder about the Interesting Pullover Competition. We said that this would take place at the home fixture nearest to Christmas. According to the fixture list, this will be Llanidloes on 6 December 08. Not quite as near as to Christmas as we would like, but we may as well get the celebrations going early. The format of the competition will be as follows: It will cost £5.00 to enter; each person entering the competition will be given a number; all competitors will parade on the stage at the club wearing their pullover and displaying their number; (a bit like the Miss World contest). Our visitors, Llanidloes, will be the competition judges. The prize money will be the total of all entry fees. It will be divided thus; 50% to CBRFC current charity; 25% to the winner, 15% to second place and 10% to third place. 
We can make this a great fun event. The more who enter the competition, the more money we will raise for charity and the bigger the pot will be for the three successful placings. So, dig out those old pullovers. I'll bet some of your parents and grandparents have some really interesting pullovers stashed away. If you can't find one, get knitting!!!

Ian Morris

'As you are no doubt aware I have moved to Shropshire and as a result have been unavailable to referee.  

I have decided that I will not be available to officiate in Wales for the remainder of the season. This decision is based on a number of factors such as the family move and associated issues and also some degree of disillusionment with the North Wales Society. Following (in my opinion) a personal verbal attack by a high ranking society member, other officials decided to support his side of the argument having initially given me their unequivocal support. This has left me with a really bitter taste in the mouth and although they may deny it I have subsequently not been graced with the usual level of prime fixtures organised by that society. Also as an aspiring referee (still) surely one would have been expected to receive some referee coaching; sadly last season I was not seen on a single occasion by the coaching team. However I was given some excellent feedback from other assessors around Wales and especially Alan Davies. Therefore I have decided to hang up my whistle in Wales for this season and review how I feel next calendar year. 

I would also like to thank the players, coaching staff and officials at Colwyn Bay RFC who have kindly allowed me to stay fit and occasionally join their Saturday match activities. You are a great club and will surely one day obtain the silverware that you deserve. I have received nothing but support from the club and if anyone asks me to recommend a club in North Wales I will always point them in your direction'

A final reminder to all those who wish to take part in the annual golf day on Saturday 6 September 2008. Firstly let me thank those who have sent in their entry forms and paid their fees. Also a further thanks to those who have contributed towards the cost of prizes. I know there will be a number of you who will turn up on the day and pay the entry fee then. However, it does make life easier for everybody if you get your entry forms in before the day of the competition. We can then inform the golf club how many will be attending. This helps them to prepare the bacon rolls, tea and coffee accordingly. It also helps to let the rugby club steward know how many are attending, so as she can prepare sufficient food for the lunch time buffet. So, if you are entering this year's competition please hand your entry form and fee to a member of the bar staff during the course of the next week. Or mail them to:

It was good to see the AGM well supported and refreshing to have so many playing members in attendance. Better still, seeing younger members volunteering their services on the club committee shows an enthusiasm for the club's future. This enthusiasm has no doubt come as a result of excellent team performances, at all levels, over the past few seasons and club facilities that are envied throughout all of Wales. After serving the committee, in various posts, over a 20-year period, I am pleased to see that the younger generation is taking an active interest in the management of the club. We old arses eventually need to be put out to grass, and allow you "young guns" to take the helm. However, be guided by the old hands in your early days as committee members; there is still some life in the old dogs. Remember, any constructive suggestions you believe will benefit the club will be fully discussed at committee and, if financially and practically viable, will happen. The proof of this is self evident in the innovative way in which the club has been managed to date, by providing the excellent facilities we all now enjoy. Finally; some wise words to reflect upon "We must keep our minds subtle and active, and never let ourselves be hypnotised by traditions, we must criticize ourselves, and criticize our criticisms; we must experiment and explore" (Major General J F C Fuller 1925). Best of luck for 2008/09

THE FINAL
 
Business as usual for the squad. A great season can now be defined with a tenacious performance next Bank Holiday Monday at Mold RFC.
All of the hard work on and off the field by the players, coaching staff and the army of committee members and 'Bay Faithful' has firmly put this club on the rugby map.
I know that every player will give 100% intensity of effort and not one will leave the pitch having not given their absolute best performance.
Enter this final knowing that you fully deserve to be there. Enter this final safe in the knowldege that you have the talent, game structure and will to win. Enter this final and battle for every scrap of ball, make every tackle count, make yourselves proud with a performance that defines your season.
I am immensely proud of all that has been achieved this season and I can honestly say that Colwyn Bay Rugby Club is one of the most progressive, attentive and player focused clubs I have ever coached for. My very best wishes for the final boys, go out there and unleash every last drop of effort you have.

It has always been a pleasure to referee Colwyn bay whether at home or away. As a club you have taken some big steps towards your goal over the past few seasons and becoming the top rugby in North Wales. Keep it up. I intend to take a total rest from active involvement in rugby during next season and be a spectators before returning to follow in your footsteps and help referees develop, so on your best behaviour please.

Another magnificent performance at the end of a gruelling two week period. Well done to all members of the playing squad your commitment throughout the season but over the last fortnight in particular has been outstanding particularly in view of the loss of key players through injury etc. Have a break but keep fit for the Final you can win it this year by playing to your full potential.

You will recall my post it on 28 January 2008 regarding an Interesting Pullover Contest to be held at CBRFC after the 1st XV home game nearest to Christmas 08, (see details on my post it below dated 28 January 2008). At the time of informing you about this spectacular event I said I would remind you ever three months. This is your first reminder. You will be surprised how long it takes to knit an Interesting Pullover; so if you haven’t already done so, get those needles out and start knitting!!!

After our outstanding performance and win against Caernarvon on Tuesday night Colwyn Bay have been confirmed as runners up in the league with 1 match to spare. Regardless of the result against Dolgellau we cannot be overtaken. We will of course endeavour to collect maximum points from this final game. I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the lads, coaching staff and backroom boys involved in the squad this year. To lose 3 out of our first 4 games and achieve what we have is fantastic. It has taken a lot of commitment and hard work and is yet another step on our journey to become as successful as we can. Our building process is sound in all areas of the club both on and off the pitch and bodes well for the future. Special mention to Pete Rice, Rhys Williams and Mark ' The Man' Lewin who have been magnificent again this year. We now need to clear the last hurdles and provide our supporters with another great game on Monday in the Cup.

An excellent result against Caernarfon only club in North Wales to score over 20 points against them this season and that is in 2 games. Lets finish the season with runners up spot and I hope a win in semi final of the Nth Wales Cup against Nant Conway
A big thank you to the coaching staff and all the players for their excellent commitment throughout the season.
Lets ensure that we all turn up on Monday vs Nant as a CLUB to support the 1st XV that is all the CLUB from the Juniors and Senior members

Ann Tilakawardane Well done to the U18 Mermaids for your outstanding performance in the tournament at Northwich on Sunday, winning 2 out of 3 matches. The last one was a tough one but you all showed amazing discipline and kept up the pressure until the final whistle. Llanddulas

I have found out today, from a very reliable source, that after the last match in Pwllheli my match report was not very well received by the Pwllheli chairman, referring to the comments about intimidation, provocation and foul play. I only report on what I see during the game and I have never made anything up to harm the reputation of any rugby club, obviously individuals have differing opinions of what they see during the game, but when a group of people witness exactly the same incident and draw up the same conclusions there must be a valid case for reporting the truth.

Steve Davidson I agree with Beagle. We do not consistently have enough surplus senior players to warrant the time and effort of setting up a 3rd team. Energies should be focused on the transitional period between our fantastic junior section and our 1st team. This seasons successful 1st and 2nd teams are built around a core of ex CBRFC youth team players who are reaching maturity ( rugby maturity ) together. Bae Colwyn
14/04/08 Ann Tilakawardane A big thank you to the U17 Mermaids for making the end of season tour such a success - you were a pleasure to be with and were a credit to the club. Llanddulas

Regarding the 2XV game against Abergele. We recorded our third successive big win (and second clean sheet) away from home. It was to have been a home game but our pitch was deemed unfit.  
More importantly 30 players turned up demanding to play. We managed to get them all on in the end and without disrupting our performance.  
On this basis there has been talk of running a third senior side but I think we would be overstretching ourselves at this juncture. What is more important for the future of the club is to get more Youth team games and players.

Regarding the game against Ruthin - Firstly I would like to congratulate Ruthin on their win, I thought their defence was outstanding and Jon's try was very well worked and finished.  
In truth the defeat was hard to swallow for myself and the team having worked so hard to get into a challenging position. All is not lost however and hopefully this defeat will give us the impetuous to push on and win our remaining games - a feat that we know we are very capable of achieving if we put our minds to it. We still have a massive interest in the cup and although the league is a far tougher prospect we must keep up the pressure on the leaders.  
We have a massive 3 weeks ahead and everyone has a big part to play - keep up the good work.

A very big thank you to all concerned who put in a marvellous effort over the weekend. I am still trying to recover after standing on my feet for some 24 hours over the 2 days, getting too old?? at a tender age of 61
The effort re changing rooms was unbelievable especially as they were in a worst position on Sunday than Sat.
YET again a BIG BIG thank you to you all

Kieran Sinnott Just a brief word to say a very big thank you for all your hospitality last Saturday. What a marvellous bunch of people you all are up there in Colwyn Bay. We had a fantastic time and have some great memories. Apologies about the alcohol incident, we didn't mean to cause a stir, just some over exuberant dad overstepping the mark. If you're ever in this neck of the woods don't hesitate to get in touch. Your boys are a credit to you and your club, please pass on our compliments to them all. South Woodham Ferres

Excellent result boys, score line reflects the defensive qualities of both teams. Very tough game and won by the slimmest of margins but testimony to your character under pressure and capability to win any game put in front of you if you just dig deep and believe it can be won.  
Lets focus our collective energy on the upcoming fixture at home, attend training in numbers and sharpen our attack and defence ready for a good, old fashioned local derby.  
Very proud of your efforts this season boys, lets keep on track until the whole thing is done and dusted.

Interesting Pullover Contest – Christmas 2008 - I know this is very early notice, but it will give you plenty of time to start knitting!! Over the past few years one of our senior members, Mike Williams, has sported an “interesting pullover” over the Christmas period. Graham Davies and I though it may be a bit of fun to hold an “Interesting Pullover Contest” at Christmas 2008. The contest rules will look something like this: The contest will take place after the home game nearest to Christmas 2008. All competitors will pay a £5.00 contest entrance fee. Half of the total entrance fees will be donated to the Club’s 2008 chosen charity. The remaining half will be prize money. All none competitors and the opposition team players will have one vote each for the pullover they think is the most interesting. The votes will be counted and there will be three prizes. Half of the prize money will go to the winner. ¾ of the balance will be second prize and the remaining ¼ will be third prize. These rules may change before the event, but you will be given plenty of notice. You will be reminded of this contest at three month intervals between now the date of the event. So, get knitting!!!!!

The Steel Men stole it in the last second of the game. Let's make up for it our 2 games against top of the table Wrexham. Well stuck at it by all the 2nd teamers. Praise for Barry Cravetto and Lemon who add great quality, good to see them fighting for 1st team selection. Well done to the 1st's who had a great win in the absence of Chris Hughes

Well done to the first team for their win against Bala...Special thanks to the first team that supported us against Shotton, with Shotton edging the game with a last kick of the game drop goal (gutted). It was good to see the second team assemble a large squad of talented individuals, also with other talented individuals injured/not available it bodes well for Colwyn Bay RFC...unfortunately we did not gel as a team, we were beaten by a team on Saturday with more hunger/desire, confidence, better fitness levels, knowledge of the game and handling skills - whether it's attending training, better preparation before a match or believing in your own abilities each one of us needs to reflect on Saturday's performance and previous matches against Llandudno, Mold, Shotton (away) and Denbigh (away) and rectify any issues highlighted above.
