Looking Good (14 August 2010)
No-one wants to blow the trumpet before the season starts, but the omens from pre-season look quite good. We've had 30 or so senior players training each week plus another 15-20 Colts and Junior Colts. That's included 3 or 4 newcomers and another half a dozen former first teamers who have returned to the club from elsewhere or injury.
Anyone who needs to know more should go to Goole on Tuesday night or come down to Percy Road on Saturday against Alnwick to see for themselves.
press@pock
Looking forward to the season (12 August 2010)
How's the team looking at training? any newcomers to look out for?

Info (5 August 2010)
Hi Timbo
The current list of players on here is very out of date and needs updating. It is probably the 1st team from about 3 years ago
info@pock
Timbo Skeggs (5 August 2010)
My point is, the website should show the current position. I saw most of the home games last season and never saw Nick Hobbs or Rob jackson. Players that seem to be missing from last season are, Both of the Holborough brothers, Stringer (I hear he's injured now), Taff, Durkin, Pickard and Britland, just to name a few. Have they all been dropped from this seasons squad?
Just wondering
Hi Tim (4 August 2010)
Looking at the list everyone played for the 1st team last season apart from Sandy who had a number of run outs with the 2nd team.
Did you have any names in mind and I will give details?
I think they did
Timbo Skeggs (4 August 2010)
Hi folks, as a fairly new supporter of Pock, I was looking at the claimed details of the 1st Team. I seem to be missing something here, I've never seen some of those listed as this seasons 1st. Are some of these names new players? I watched many of last seasons games and many of those I saw on the pitch are not there.
timothy.skeggs@sky.com
Strings (4 August 2010)
Morning Troops.
For those of you who aren't on Facebook, during the Alnwick game there will be a "family fun day" at the club.
Bouncy Castle, Bucking Bronco and a Hog Roast will add to the excitement of watching the squad give our Northern amigos a good spanking on the pitch.
Make sure you bring the WAGS and kids and family,(especially you Peters, bring your Mum down) for a day of beautiful fast flowing rugby and some nicely cooked Pig.
Love to you all.
Keep training hard.

Birchy (12 July 2010)
Just to say well done to all those who took part in the walk on Saturday it was a great day for it, had to use plenty of vas for the chafing. For all those who didn't have a valid excuse for not turning up, especially the players, then you should be ashamed of yourselves. Only three players took part Henry, Willow & myself & im not even training at the club right now but I still put the commitment in for PRUFC. If you weren't there then you should put a few quid towards the funds.

Newquay Update (9 July 2010)

FT (8 June 2010)
Gentlemen,
The annual golf day is still one team short of having a full roster, so our director of rugby has asked me to see if we can put together a team to represent the playing contingent of the club.
Stings and I are already in a team with Daddy Stringer and Andy Bowden, so we are looking for four players to sign up for a day of booze, golf and a little more booze!
I have no idea of any details other than it is on Friday 26th June at the KP Club and that last year it involved bacon sandwiches and plenty of steam. If your interested bang a note on here or give TC or Stringer a bell.
Golf ability is non essential... just ask Stringer!

Junior Sevens (1 April 2010)
Pocklington Junior Charity Sevens
Pocklington RUFCs junior section joins Pocklington’s Easter seven-a-side rugby party on Sunday when it stages its annual Junior Charity Sevens Festival for Under 13, 14 and 15 age levels.
The tournament, sponsored by local company, Agriyork 400, is also aiming to raise money for the Martin House Childrens Hospice.
In addition to host club Pocklington, entries have come in from East Yorkshire rivals Beverley, Bridlington, Hull Ionians, Goole and Malton & Norton, with North and West Riding interest from York, Harrogate, Ripon and old Brodleians, and an out of county challenge from Tynedale.
The action for all three age groups gets underway at 10.30 am on both pitches at Percy Road, and will continue into the afternoon with the finals scheduled for 3 pm.
There is no mini rugby for Pocklington’s younger players this Sunday to enable them to support the event, and there is a barbecue and refreshments available throughout the day.

Karl (25 March 2010)
On Saturday after the match it was said that one of the main reasons we lost is that we are getting poor numbers at training. From the squad that went to Goole on Saturday there were only six of us training on Tuesday. Please can people in both the first team and second team make more of an effort to train so we can finish the season on a high?!

Dear Harry, (20 March 2010)
Whilst the Yapham Bagers, who will be making an appearance this year at the 7's, would dearly love to have your company on and off the field of play, the recession has hit us pretty hard and so we are having to cut costs.

I would like to apologise that I cannot attend 7s this year, but I would bear any burden, endure any weather, and pay any price for a beer. This spell of bad weather can't continue forever...The crowds will return. It wasn't too long ago that 7s was a sunny affair, I think it was maybe the year 2000.
ps. If Yapham Badgers pay my airfare, I will attend.
pps. Haven't you realised that Pocklington's success at 7s has a direct link to the selection of Benny Taylor in the squad? Just a thought for the coaches this year...

Gents,
Work on your free passes for this Saturday as the plan after the Goole game is to make our way into York to watch the England game; accompanied by beer and cheesy chips of course! All are welcome, but there is only one rule.... leave the wifes & girlfriends (or boyfriends?!) at home! Oh, and tell them not to wait up.....
scott@lettersofdistinction.co.uk
Jackson Rog (17 March 2010)
First of all it is highly unlikely that any "deals" will be done for the sevens. secondly Young Mister Rowley has never before spoken so much sense, in both his messages, if indeed the second one was really him, thirdly I have, like Scotty, got in an ad in my e address. Fourthly, if the people who do not come to support the sevens because of price of beer then that is their perogative. whatever we do for the sevens will never please everyone, but we do the very best we can, and may I remind everyone reading this that those of us who do get involved with the set up etc... do it all for free, no pay, gratis, love or call it what you will. The club comes first. Rant over.

Question (17 March 2010)
Or you could just ID the 'spastic 15 year olds'?
toanon@pock
Anon. (16 March 2010)
Surely the biggest consideration if there was a price drop would have to be the one given to all the spastic 15 year old kids the club and police would have to deal with if selected bottles were going at £1.50
Anon@Anon
David Gold (16 March 2010)
When considering a price drop, you have to consider the following?
Buying price?
What market will you get?
How do you sell the other products?
Stock management?
If this doesn't work how can you ever put your prices back up in future years?Expectations.
What Margins will the club make?
Will you affend the clients that have been coming to 7's who have been willing to spend good money as they know it supports the clubs finances for the year?
Will these clients ever return due to that fact?
Will that extra volume generate the same turnover?
Will that turnover be extra labour?(free labour but hard work for no-more return?)
How many people is there drinking in the pubs on good friday, what spend will that generate?
Answer these questions and you may be on to something?
Or alternatively will the brewer/wholesaler or product agent support a promotion?
Create Incentives for the people who are there to spend more through Merchandising, give-aways brand positioning all supported by the product agent? Its easily done with the right contacts? And fee's!!
Let me know what you think and I'l sort it! Fees!
stewartrowley@matthewclark.co.uk
suggestion (16 March 2010)
Now that sevens is fast approaching may i make a suggestion.... many people that i know for the last couple of years have not bothered coming to sevens due to the weather. Instead they spent their day knocking back pints in the many watering holes in Pock. They all said if the drink was cheeper at the club they would have braved the wintery conditions. This year could we try a little experiment and have a cheaper option (selected bottles for £1.50 maybe?) This if advertised well may attract more people?

Rowley (16 March 2010)
Now Ladies,
I was on this morning looking to see if there were any pics of the ball for new year, and I read the now deleted stuff on unity within the club and K Strangepipes!
I was upset to see that this guy had put in something about when we were really bad after the pearce era? Now after going for a shower, shit and w**k and thought about it I am frustrated even more.
I put my body on the line week in week out with only 4 of us in that team ever playing Yorks 1 then 2 before? This era wasn't because we were rubbish it was because we had to rebuild with what Fat lad pearce left us with? Now this is way in the past and we did rebuild and Scotty and Co will remember what a great time we had getting out of Yorks 3 and in the mix for seasons after pushing for promotion back Yorks 1!
I miss these days and this club massively, and I really wish to play again one day. I am also sure that everybody who puts on that shirt on a Saturday has pride and butterflies in there stomachs and heart before going on to play any team with no fear!
Remember these guy's too are rebuilding with a young team and I am sure they'l be a dominence in Yorks 2 once again!
Though on a sore point I was dissapointed with the Craic last time I was at the club, and maybe those suggestions on unity aren't far from the truth? Rebuild as a team on and off the pitch!
Plus if you do that I won't get stranded with Webbs all night next time!
Love to all, even you Webbs but not Knighty!

Scotty (16 March 2010)
I would love to be fighting for my position within the first team, as these younger players gain power, pace and experience in senior rugby. But until then I will continue to train hard every night throughout the week, give it my all during the games and hurt like hell on a Sunday morning, knowing I played my hardest not only for myself but for my team mates and the club that I’m so passionate about.
Apologies in advance for my absence this evening chaps.. Although the Doc confirmed my ribs aren’t fractured, I may be out a couple of weeks healing my wounds. (gutted)

Dont point the finger (4 March 2010)
A saw thumb might not neccessarily be a sore thumb, dont some Eastern countries saw the thumbs off people convicted of dishonesty? Talk to John Hindwell how dangerous it can be clashing on the rugby pitch with players who have reduced appendages. Market Rasen used to have a one armed centre who gave Hindy the most painful sort of hand off with his stump.

Pointless, good point, well made. Keep turning up week, week out and show your support. Opinion shows interest; keep it positive! (Is a saw thumb the same as a sore thumb!!??)
onteabreak@work
Pointless (4 March 2010)
I totaly agree that listing our choice of team on here is pointless, however it is obvious to those of us who come watch week in week out who puts in the effort in and puts their body on the line every week and those who dont stand out like a saw thumb (no names mentioned).
selection@pock
GK (3 March 2010)
Picking the team on here is great fun but ultimately pointless. The coaching/management team have a tough job and select the team on a number of criteria. Incidentally, I wouldn't expect anybody would expect to get picked on anything other than form (including VC or captain).

New Pock Sponsors (21 February 2010)
Anyone who was not at the game yesterday would not have seen the programme notes which explained the background of the sponsors, and bunch of ex-players and alikadoos organised by John West. Below is the relevant paragraph from the programme.
Welcome back to today’s match sponsors. They were also in attendance before Christmas as ‘The Sponsors with No Name’, using that title primarily because their leader, John West, couldn’t think of one. The group is a sort of son of PRATS (Pocklington Rugby Aged Travelling Supporters) with a smidgen of six o’clock club and skerrick of Barmby Moor mafia thrown in. This afternoon they are here under the provisional new nomenclature of ‘The Diogenes Club’ at the suggestion of that noted classicist and literary scholar, Pete Stringer, who wrote to John explaining: “The fictional Diogenes Club was an organization that Sherlock Holmes’ brother, Mycroft, belongs to in Conan Doyles’ The Greek Interpreter. It is called such as its members are educated, yet untalkative and have a dislike of socializing.
“Diogenes’ name has also been applied to the behavioural disorder ‘Diogenes Syndrome’ (also known as Senile Squalor Syndrome) which afflicts the elderly and is characterized by involuntary self neglect, domestic squalor, social withdrawal, apathy, lack of shame and a tendency to hoard rubbishâ€. The club is open to anyone who can evidence the above criteria and applications for membership can be made to Westy throughout the afternoon.

Pock U11s through to Yorkshire Cup Final (8 February 2010)
Pocklington U11s went to Sandal for the semi final of the Yorkshire Cup. They played a well drilled competitive Sandal side.
The result:- Sandal 19 Pocklington 21
Comments from the opposition:-
"congratulations and appreciation to the players and parents. Pock played a hard and skilful game and were worthy winners. The final score line flattered Sandal and we wish you all the very best for the final. The supportive parents I thought were magnificent and gave both sides encouragement and I am sure will cheer your boys to victory in March. We are due to play again in a few weeks and that should set you up nicely for the final."
All the best Phil and well done again.

Pock v Driff (17 January 2010)
We lost 57-12 but it was a good work out. Pocklington took the 1st team without Holbrough x 2, JP and Henry, plus half the 2nd team whose game with Beverley was off. Driffield had a straight 1st team as there seconds were playing on the next pitch.
We did loads of defending in the first quarter but then shipped three tries, we then attacked for much of the second quarter without turning pressure into points and a Driff breakaway made it 26-0 at the break.
It was end to end second half, with Pock getting tries from Andy Wilson and Mark Stringer and Nick Bennett kicking a conversion.
But Driffield, as you would expect from a team riding high two leagues above us, were that bit bigger and always had the edge in terms of speed of support and to thye breakdown and also had a bit more firepower out wide.

Senior & junior weekend fixtures (30 December 2009)
Many clubs have postponed league matches scheduled for Saturday, but as some of Pocklington's league opponents have two games to catch up on, Pocklington 1st XV have organized a local derby friendly at Percy Road, kick off 2.00 pm. The team management is keen that the players keep in match practice, and have named the following squad, with the likelihood of a couple more players being added by the weekend. At the moment Percy Road if definately playable, and if conditions deteriorate, all possibilities will be investigated to get the game on, including checking on the pitches at Driffield.
Pocklington (v Driffield, home) Morton, Wilson A, Kelly, Fell.,
Tilley, Biggin, Whitton. Durkin, Wilson D, JL Holbrough, Britland, Rees, Mitchell, Stringer, Rook, JP Holbrough, Bennett, Higgins, Pickard, Lucas. Meet 12.30 ko 2.00.
Junior fixture secretary, Paul Burn, has been a busy man fielding a
number of confirmations then cancellations to Sunday's junior
programme. The current junior position is detailed below but is subject
to further change.
Pocklington U6 - U11 (training) meet 10.15.
Pocklington U12 (at Otley,) meet 9 am
Pocklington U13 (training) meet 10.15
Pocklington U14 (training) meet 10.15
Pocklington U15 (training) meet 10.15

Team correction (16 December 2009)
Sorry guys, Pat has just brought to my attention the fact that Ive made a mistake on the team sheet - it says Barnsley at home for the firsts where its obviously Ripon away (the Panthers would go on strike if they were not at home to Goole, their last home game was in October). I'll email Tim Bolton to change it on the website, but as he might be in Sweden or might be on his way to Japan for Christmas, Im not sure he will get the message promptly.

Phoenix Retraction (15 November 2009)
Sorry for any errors in my preview notes, thank you for putting the record straight and well played yesterday you deserved your comfortable victory.
However, while your post on this Guestbook emphasises that you are merely tenants of Doncaster Knights, the Doncaster RFC website gives much more of an impression that you are part of that organisation.
Your details appear under the Doncaster Knights More Rugby section, it states that you are allied to Doncaster Knights, and says that you cater for players who do not wish or are not ready to pursue full-time professional rugby, with attracting former Doncaster Colts being fundemental to your future.
Perhaps a reworded mission statement, or indeed a separate website would help to stop clubs slipping into the trap of misconception.
press@pock
Phoenix (14 November 2009)
Good morning Pocklington,
Having just read your 'preview' of todays game at Castle Park, i was a little annoyed to find that you seemed to have slipped into the trap so many others do in asuming that we (Doncaster Phoenix) have some sort of deal with the knights regarding the use of 'unwanted' players. It may seem petty and uneccessary but id like to set the record straight. In no way, shape or form do DPRUFC benefit, in terms of players, from the proffesional team at Castle park. We are lucky enough to share their great facilities, for which we pay rent, however we are an entirely independant club. If this wasnt the case we would not be allowed to compete in any RFU league. Our squad is made up of young local lads, the majority of the squad has been together since our days in Yorkshire 4, we have no 'superstars' and we are very much a amateur club akin to Pocklington.
Anyway rant over, see you all later out on the pitch and for a beer or two afterwards.

Work hard to achieve your goals (11 November 2009)
I have just read the comments re the low numbers at training. Even though I haven't been to see many games this year I have received match reports on all the games and this is arguably Pock's best chance of climbing out of this league since we missed out on points difference to Heath a few years ago. The results each week show that on any given day, everyone in Yorks 2 can beat each other therefore making it more important that if you can string a run of 4, 5, 6 wins together then you will be in pole position come the end of January. There are no Old Brods, Sheffield Tigers or Wheatley Hills this year.
From a coaches point of view, Tim and Pat will prepare each session expecting high numbers and it makes it very difficult to develop as a team if numbers are not there as many of the drills are dropped or simplified.
This is your chance to achieve what I know you all will have set out to do, on the playing fields at Pock School in July. You'll have heard the saying from the top coaches that 80% of winning matches is down to what you do in training. Support Tim, Pat and more imporantly, each other for the next 16 games. The beer will taste much better.

For this, I need to do some primary research - so, I am looking for any Yorkshire people who vote for the BNP who would be willing to fill out a questionnaire I have designed.

Hello all, as most of you know my ganparents Ted & Joan are regulars on the touchline every saturday come rain or shine. One of Teds many hobbies is photography, he brings his camera to pretty much every game and gets plenty of photos which other players never get to see. Although he is recovering form a detached retina and is temporarily blind in one eye he still is trying his best to keep it up. So i am in the process of creating him a web page were he can upload match photos every week for you all to see, I am hoping to have it done for this saturdays game against YMCA so i will post the link on here as soon as it is finished. ta.

Long shot at the moment (20 October 2009)
Like so many England regulars/contenders Rob is currently injured. His form this seson as Wasps first choice hooker had put him in the England frame, and he put in another outstanding performance against current England hooker Dylan Hartley in the Wsps v Northampton game on 4 October which won him the man of the match award. However, he injured his knee ten minutes before the end and has been in a brace for a fortnight. The Wasps website says he is recovering well from a moderate medial ligament tear and could possibly return to training in two weeks, but that would be cutting it fine for the autumn internationals.

Many thanks to all vice-presidents who came to the lunch and the game last saturday. Those who whinged about the cost (even if it was only under your breath) will be pleased to hear that the club made a profit of over £200 on the day, without extra bar profits etc. Grateful thanks indeed.
The other good thing is that none of you were anywhere near guessing the correct number of points scored in Yorkshire 2 that day, so the Puisseguin St Emilion is back in my cellar! Better luck next time!

Morning gentlemen/Ladies (Stringer),
Was wondering whether anybody had an old samsung phone charger or old O2 handset, that they could kindly donate me?!
It seems that in a drunken state i may have mistaken my phone for the TV remote and thrown it at the wall in a rage when it failed to turn the TV on!!!
Booze eh!

hi all
glad to see the guestbook is back. just a heads up there are a few dos being organised at the club at the moment, please have a look around the club.
for all those that are not aware we are trying to raise money to rebuild the changing rooms and update the club. we desperately need your help to raise this money. the easiest way do to this is buy a brick. this costs £150 and can be paid over 15 months, yes only £10 a month.
i will be at the club tonight to get you all signed up. if you are not available top train tonight or this week please e-mail me and we can sort it out.
please find out more about the fundraising going on and if each peron buys a brick and gets one other family member or friend outside the club we will be well on the way to raising these funds.
please please please help as we can not do it with out the club members.
see you all tonight.

Guestbook - welcome back my old friend. For those of us who don't Facebook - or are not allowed to by their kids, this forum is the only place I can keep in touch so if you can't say it positive please don't say it and please - funny names and e-mails are great for funny posts but lets keep up with the Name and e-mail address convention especially if you are making a serious point.
Its a good job we were practising our 70 yard counter attacking last week - it came in handy. Nice kick Nick

Webber for England (27 September 2009)
There is a big piece in todays Sunday Times tipping Rob Webber to be Englands hooker for the 2011 World Cup and to tour with the British Lions in 2012. It also gives Gwens Sunday lunches at Pock a plug.

Last gasp winner (27 September 2009)
We somehow stole a 19-18 win. We were 18-12 down and pinned in our own half but with the last play of the day launched a 70 yard move to get Sam Butcher away on the wing and he crossed in the corner and ran halfway round to the posts. Nick Bennett kicked the conversion and the final whistle went.
Earlier Ben Rees and Matt Atkinson had scored tries and Bennett kicked a conversion, but a catalogue of mistakes let Mootoen back into it even though they had a man sent off three minutes into the second half.

I thought I'd check to see what the gossip was at the moment and the book was blank! So can I start the new book off with a request to the 1st team - let's have a convincing win this weekend - you are better than this. A win is great but points will make the difference in April.
