Bath Rugby

And we have to say you are a funny lot!  Our recent caption competition had us all giggling in the office.  We asked you to put a caption to the following picture of Matt Stevens:

The winning entry from Aaron Hardy was;

"Oh no!  We were so close to winning the piggy back race!"

Other entries included:

Eleanor Poole, 9, "Please release me let me go" (Englebert Hunperdink song)

Cole Osborne, 9, "Lets all do the conga...."

Stephen Trenchard, 13, "Wait Simon Cowell! I can change. I can...rap too! Just please can I get that record deal?"

Calogero Pace, 10, "AAAGGGHHHH scratch my back, left a bit, right a bit, a bit lower, that's it there, scratch a bit harder, that's it, aaaaaaahhhhh. that's better!"

James Howell, 9, "Bling Bling!"

Hello!  My name is Cole Osborne.  I was a Bath Rugby Front Row member back in 2000 when I appeared in a photo in the Bath v Wasps progrmme as the youngest ever member, (my dad had a lot to do with it back then!).

I have been playing rugby for 3 years now for Supermarine RFC in Swindon.  I was lucky enough to play at Twickenham last year in between the matches for the London double header.  There was supposed to be 40,000 people in the crowd, but I didn't notice them as I was so excited.

My favourite player is Matt Stevens as he plays in the same position as me, prop.  This is my first year of contested scrum, so I am finding it very hard work at the moment.  I am hoping to bump into Matt sometime at the Rec and ask for any tips to improve my game.

My other favourute is Martin Johnston as he is the king of rugby.  I hope England do well with him as the manager.  I also like Jonny Wilkinson and I still watch the 2003 final on DVD.

Com'on Bath!
