Orangecone
Greg reminds us about our boy "Orangecone" - That player 'orange cone' in the 2005 pic- he was the best!! He always stayed out on the wing- but was pretty crap at passing and catching.A quote from Moses - "Yeah, I remember having to mark him out wide when I was playing for Bedok, it always seemed like you guys had an extra man on the pitch, I could never really figure out why."
Anyway good old Orangecone moved on from Singapore to take up a posting in the Big Apple, New York. He sent us a photo recently of him and his mates on the streets of New York. Nice one Oc.

STL Match Report Round 7
Mens Open
OMD Pukekos faced off in a top of the table clash with the young SRC six pack lads. The game was fast paced and full of intensity. Great spirit showed by both teams however OMD Pukeko struck first with an easy draw and pass play on a lazy winger - Dr Somers making the perfect scoring pass to the Bowser to open the account. The OMD Pukekos were fired up for this one ! Some big hits were involved and hard touches effected where the ref had to send off one of the six pack...
A few rushed chances by the Pukies were taken on the line and opportunities werent quite finished off with a few loose passes going to ground. However , with tough flying defence in the face of the opposition and pressure counting against the six packs - Captain Cliff made a second sweet pass to Mo on the wing to score a huge try at the midway point of the 1st half.
The 3rd try came from a hard drag-dump and split from Dev and the Doctor swooping in to shoot from half and find Dev back on the cut for a sweet diving try and a 3 - 0 lead.
2nd half found OMD Pukekos up 3-1 and the final score would be 5-3 with great defense throughout the 2nd half and both teams running to a standstill. Danny boy made a huge intercept to keep the foot on the throat and run 70m for a big try.
The entire team had a well focused effort and they prepare for a 1 vs 2 match up against Bro-town in the coming weeks. Big contributions from Bus, Timmy, Jonesy with the driving platform.
Man of the match award : Greg Somers (Thankfully there were no old men on the opposition team as they normally chase him down.)
Try Scorers: Bao, Moses, Dev, Greg, Dan
