YELLOWBELLIES HOSTING
Waihi and Tu Akau at Weka Street

Many thanks to all those who made the day a great event, special mention
to Lou and Eddie for all the work getting the Hangi ready and to all the people who provided food and entertainment for the day.

Eddie with some of the boys from Waihi, it was a day when everyone pitched in to help out all the teams
	The Waihi team doing a Jerry Collins
The team from Tu Akau having a break they came up for the Counties game and had a very long night
	Some action, Yellowbellies and Waihi in a maul, I think they all need to get a bit lower, they all must have had a late night
They must be waiting for the ball or the final whistle
	Tu Akau had a very long night or a short game of rugby, the photographer must have gone walkabout as we have no action shots of these
I don’t know if this lot are helping with the Hangi preparation or having a post game feed
	The fun part of the day begins, the Tu Akau supporters starting a great afternoon of drinking, eating and singing
The boys on the balcony
	The band gets ready to play
Yes the guys in the red tea cosy does play for us

YELLOWBELLIES AT THAMES

A great turnout for an away game, we had to get a team photo as returning to play for us against Thames was Steve “STOMPER” Duncan

Yellowbellies V Puturaru

OUR FIRST GAME AT HOME AND THE BOYS ARE SLOWLY
GETTING INTO THEIR STRIDE

A BIT OF ACTION, IT LOOKS LIKE NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE
GOING OR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. IT WAS OUR FIRST GAME

FINALLY THE FORWARDS IN ACTION “SORT OF”A BIT OF A MESS, LOOK AT THOSE
FLASH BOOTS THAT MUST BE A FINE, FORWARDS DON’T WEAR THOSE BOOTS.

YELLOW BELLIES ON THE MOVE, FRITS MAKING A BREAK SOMEONE
FROM PUTAUURU READING THE SUNDAY PAPER BY THE LOOK OF HIM

PUTARURU ON THE MOVE THIS TIME FRITS IN PERSUIT AND HOW MANY TIMES DOES EARL aka “ROUSY” HAVE TO BE TOLD TO TAKE THE MAN WITH THE BALL.

YES WE DO HAVE SOME LINEOUTS IN OUR GAMES, I THINK BARRY
IS EVEN JUMPING BUT IT COULD BE AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

YELLOWBELLIES AT Tu AKAU TOURNAMENT
