Fortress Hughenden

Rewind to a week past Saturday and all was going well, then away again, to Dunfermline, on Saturday and the win slips away…
Home to Ardrossan the boys played well, not a great turn out from the Hughenden massive, scared of the liquid sunshine maybes, but a good show put on for those who did appear, with the 1st XV winning 45-7 on the big pitch and the Hippos winning by lots on the back pitch. Unfortunately it did mostly rain so the newsteam, being soluble, and wearing flipflops, had to stay on the relative safety of the concrete under a big umbrella and could only view the Hippos game from afar.
The best umbrella on show was a nice big rainbow coloured number sported by A. Lady.
It was quite a long time ago now so I can’t remember many specific events, but newish hooker Hazzy was chosen one of the week, he had a good game showing off his fitness in support, good pace and positioning in the loose, and good hands getting the ball moving quickly, keeping Ardrossan on the back foot.
Also notable was return of Stuart Rose from the US of A, looking as tanned and healthy as only a ginger can, who came off the bench in the second half to great cheers, and the odd wolf-whistle from the Hughenden crowd. Good to see him back.
Keith was visibly overjoyed with the boys win.
Other notable performances were from Ally Jamieson, who despite his advancing years is still pretty quick, and has been putting on a pretty good show. Cammy Kerr looking solid as ever in the back row, has been looking particularly trim and dynamic in the first few games. Back in the Captain slot this year, here’s hoping he can do something to rally the troops away from home.
Saturday sees the boys 1XV and 2XV back at Fortress Hughenden to play Garnock, good luck for that, hoping the crowds turn out to watch.
Saturday night sees the inaugural Little Miss Hughenden event- a show not to be missed, which is shrouded in a world of mystery…so get yourselves down to Hughenden, on Saturday, at some unspecified time, with as much cash as you can carry for there are sure to be fantabulous “Ladies” to spend it on.
Carry the festivities over to Sunday when the ladies host Murrayfield Wanderers at home, hoping to kick the season off with a win, with a few new faces and changes in the team it should be an exciting game, they could do with some vocal home support. Guest host Cahoon is in charge as Kitch is donning his Lederhosen for a trip to the Sound of Music in London, because his daughter wants to go. Apparently.
Shouts of, “Daddy, I don’t want to watch the singing church lady again!” are heard echoing across the fields of Lenzie from time to time.
But we believe you Kitch, really we do.

    After to have seen the party of Hillhead Versus Ardrossan, in Hughenden, I had the luck to go to see the second divided in Glasgow Stuart Rose. I was seated places next to the bank of substitutes of Hillhead, and Is fascinated with. He has a very sweet glance. After to have investigated… its name, the equipment in which plays, reaches the conclusion that not only is very pretty, but also that he is very good player. Not if leera, or if podre to contact with him mail way to me, but in short, were a pleasure it to have had so close. A kiss, Gi

    Stuart Rose is a fascinating creature, I can see why you were so taken by him. He has this gingery glow, like a halo…but more orange.
