Issue 60 (Who would have thought it?)

Ulster 16 Edinburgh 10

The night started off well with a free pint from Youngman - could it get any better?

Ulster came out and tried to play rugby in a miserable night. More importantly the forwards looked interested and only Ferris appeared to loiter about in the backs (to good effect), the rest getting stuck in.

Paddy Wallace gave us a glimpse of how good he should be with a scintillating break from his own 22, Tommy Bowe took it on to the halfway line where he offloaded to Maxi who streaked home.

The weather literally put a damper on the rest of the match. Edinburgh's Scott Murray drove over from close range but three Wallace penalties kept Ulster in front and they didn't look comfortable for the last 20 minutes.

FRU Man of the Match goes to Tommy Bowe who looked comfortable at fullback and always looked dangerous on the ball.


After the game Dewi Barnes had the absolute pleasure to present the FRU "Honoury Chairman" Justin Fitzpatrick with a Ballpark Painting of the Ulster 03 Front Row featuring Fitzy, Matt Sexton and Robbie "The Rev" Kempson.

Fitzy's heading of shortly for the Barbarians jolly tour to Tunisia and Spain so you never know we might persuade him to give us a few lines on how the tour's progressing!

The FRU will also have a presence in Argentina for the Irish Tour so hopefully our computer illiterate reporters manage to take a few photos while they are there!

Below are some pictures from the Edinburgh match after match drinkies. Good to see Pervy back on form and a dee-lighted Fruette literally gets the shirt of Steiny's back - who says stalking doesn't pay.!

Finished the night off with Besty calling me a pratt - does it get any better than this?

INTISTA Predictions League Week 35

The Hound jumps Ardmhic and second place is up for grabs going into the last week.

Kimble as expected wins the overall title - due to his good form in the Magners League. There's some consolation for Ardmhic as he's this years Heineken Champion and the Six Nations is tied with Bruised Plums and Setanta the Kings of the International scene.

We are, honestly, trying to organise an Awards Evening in August and hope to get a couple of players to turn up to present the awards so check back here or the usual messageboards throughout the summer.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part this year and look forward to another competition next year.

Letters to the Editor.


Dear Sir,

On perusing your organ I noticed a remarkable resemblance between erstwhile movie star Wallace of Wallace and Gromit fame and the fat grinning media tart Dewi Barnes.

Are they by any chance related?

As Holywood Mike would say, "the Ulster public has a rite to know!"

Yours etc.,

Stormin Norman.
Ed - Hmm!
