Welcome back.
On Saturday the Eagles travel to Addlestone to play Old Georgians (OG). St. George’s is a Catholic Public School founded in 1869. It has a rather unusual motto – Amora et Labore – Love and Work! OG play their matches at the school which is in Weybridge Road. OG would consider themselves primarily as a hockey club. They run numerous teams and could justly be one of the top ten clubs in the country. Along with Surbiton and maybe Richmond the area is rich in hockey clubs!
OG are one of the stronger rugby outfits in our league. Last year they beat us at the beginning of the season but we gained revenge with a narrow win later on. If the Eagles can field a strong 15 we could be in for a very exciting match. On the other hand if some of our fickle players are on walkabout it could make for a difficult afternoon (FICKLE: changeable, inconsistent, uncertain, unreliable).
Kick off time will be advised with the team sheet on Friday.
