Match Report:
 
The cheeseman is on fire! With as near a full strength squad as you would like. The Laceman combatted the fierce drinking and outrageuos pranks with two day of dazzling rugby lead by the awesome Ollie Hyand. Both Honiton 7's sides made it through to the final with side 2 losing to a single try to the cheating sods from Plymouth who managed to get away with playing a ringee in the final despite protests from Honiton. Well if they're that desparate! Hyland was the pick othe bunch with a dazzling display of running rugby and power play. The Laceman then visited Wadebridge and showed just how far they have progressed this season and with a near full squad blew their hosts apart from the start. Dominatnt forward play allowed Meadows the time his weak passing needs to release the array of talent in the Honiton back line. The Cheesman once again showed why he is a real contender for MVP thid year.

Tour Rules
There are very few rules because touring is all about having fun as a squad and playing a bit of rugby.

1.Decision of the ‘responsible adults’ (Jason Fahy, Andy Pawley Dave Donovan and Andy Clark) shall be final and uncontested.
2.Fines/punishment shall be decided by the Judge and Jury, only, and presented by the Prosecution. If you feel aggrieved then talk to the defence, but it had better be good!
3.What goes on, on tour, stays on tour.
4.No females unless prior entry to tour party has been agreed. Fines will be severe and will include phone calls/texts during peak tour hours.
5.Treat the accommodation and our hosts with respect as we will likely return in future years and are representing the Club. Also helps getting served.
6.The other half of the hotel will be occupied by a hen party so please treat these other guests as you would wish to be treated yourself.

Essential Kit
Poncho, Sombrero, moustache, rugby boots, condoms, Honiton RFC socks, shorts (fines for non-compliance), spare shorts & socks for 7’s, sick bags, black sack for muddy kit, wash gear. [A pair of marigolds and clothes peg, if sharing with Meadows (see 4 below). An umbrella if sharing with Small (see 2 below)].

Other Helpful Touring Information
1. Never room with Small (sorry Davy, too late)
2. If you do room with Small; keep your pants on when sleeping; ensure sufficient room between beds and that he knows what side the sick bowl is on. Or….get an umbrella!
3. Norman and Rice are a bad combination. Lock doors and windows when you go to bed.
4. If you hear Meadows shouting for his bum to be wiped he will be on the bog and drunk. Call his Dad as he knows the drill 07866164547 and can talk you through the process.
5. Bhut Jolokia are the world’s hottest chillies. They originate in Assam, India and should be used in punishments moderation. Their searing, citrusy flavour is great for hot sauces, Bengali dishes and super-hot pastes. One tiny pinch is enough to blow your taste buds away. Handle with caution. Wash hands after use. Keep away from Children. Please also note that Andy and Lee Clark hate spicy food.
6. Do not leave food unguarded around Baily, Clements and Dalton – they are not our front-row through ability.
7. It is usually pointless arguing fines/punishment because as is the way with British justice Judges will be more lenient on offenders that admit their crime. You can make a short reasonable plea to the Judge personally or through the Defence representative (Dave Donovan).
8. It is suicide not to do the punishment/fine if awarded.
9. Learn some rugby songs. Football chants will not be tolerated.
10. If you have any questions at anytime during the tour ring Jerry Rice 07971995048.
11. Don’t spew in the sink. The lumps sink to the bottom and block the plug hole leaving liquid in the sink. Very unpleasant getting your hand in the next morning.
12. Meadows is a kit thief and steals off of his mates. If he is caught he will be severely punished, but as a precaution do not leave anything lying around.

News Flash - the four late payers who will miss the mini-bus and travel by car are Price, Falkner, Mugford and Meadows. Strictly no eating or drinking in the car; all clothes on and music will be either Elvis or the Carpenters. Should be great fun!

Passengers in the car for the return leg to be decided!
