Nadoes #10
The Nadoes flyhalf was recently snapped by the Nadoes papparazzi celebrating his 6 month relationship by trying on his girlfriend’s clothes. One feels that his eye is off the ball and this may be Loxton’s year to take back his rightful place in the starting line up.
A blast from the past as we gear up for CT 10’s…
A tale of the magic that is Nadoeland.
It is the Land of the Gods. It is a Special place full of beauty and splendor. A place where dreams come true and its still only R1 to the British Pound. You walk shoulder to shoulder with many of Cape Town’s biggest names and there is a second to none standard of models scattered all over the show. These models become increasingly aroused at the mere sight of a Nadoe and have been known to approach a Nadoe (these ladies often hunt in pairs) in broad daylight, quite un-boozed, and offer themselves to him. Calls of “U Cha Cha” and “NAAAAADDDDOOOEEESSS” can be heard ringing out through the air at all times of the day. The rivers flow with beer and Barcelos have free burger stands on every street corner. Drinking games begin promptly at 6 at every bar in Nadoeland, which happens to have the highest bars per capita in the whole world, and Strip clubs, of which there are 135 in total, are free for all Nadoes, and double as hostels after hours.
The Nadoes warriors are the most revered in all of the Cape. Regularly defending its borders from the threats of the Wildboys Horde and the vicious spitting cobras that inhabit the barren marshlands of the outer circle. They make frequent and scathing assaults on the Nadoes but the Red tide defend their land with the utmost ferocity and send their foes packing time and time again. You may ask why do they defend Nadoeland with such passion and gusto? What inner strength drives them to become unbeatable and It is simple, it is to keep the traditions and the establishment that is the Nadoes, built and upheld by so many Nadoes before them, alive and well.
Now, the forces within Nadoeland are building, there is a red glow emanating from Godfather Mountain. There is a vibe that is rapidly growing amongst the Nadoes, the touch games are fiercer, the singing is louder, the morning-after pill sales have doubled and there is a noticeable buzz in and around the greater Cape Town area, because when the Nadoes are strong, Cape Town is strong.

2012…the Nadoes are coming
Amidst all the prophecies about the Mayan calender and the world apparently ending towards the end of the year (lies), the Chinese have recently officially named 2012 The Year Of The Nadoe which follows 2011 as the year of the monkey. One already feels that the Chinese calender has hit the nail on the head. This year is set to be a cracker with things kicking off with the CT 10’s in 1 months time! (Squad is to be announced shortly), to the Nadoes cricket 8’s, to the official AGM on the 2012 season taking place in March (an event that will be ramped up and formalised this year), to Plett tour, to the Youth vs Experience touch championship, to the the HPL Auction, to the HPL and lastly and most importantly to winning our 10th internal league trophy.
Touch gets underway this Sunday at 16:00 on the Nadoes field!
Yours in vibe and passion.
Ucha cha
Merry Christmas to the Nadoes and their families!
Wishing all an enjoyable time over the festive season. The rugby season starts in just over a month, with touch starting mid January…Watch this space!

Control-Alt-Delete snapped by the Nadoes paparazzi…
60 days until Cape Town Tens 2012
Yes folks, you read correctly, the biggest party on the Nadoes calender is a mere 2 months away. The boys have been preparing in a big way. James Alt has already got his excuses in order for the wife. Donkey and the Great Dayne have booked themselves off work for 2 weeks after the festival ends. Gloakocoko has been in the gym twice a day for the past month. Bermuda reckons this will be his swansong in the Nadoes colours. Phil the drill has been practising his chip and chase. Raunadoe has set up a seperate bank account to pay off the damages that may/probably will occur. Theo has ordered multiple shirts just in case some get ripped. Bomma has done nothing.
The CT Tens serves as a breeding ground for Nadoes youth talent and a weekend for the experience to show their class. New signings for 2012 include the young but ever so talented Conor Ray, the most devious Tameez Vayej, amongst others who will be lining up alongside Nadoes legends such as Donkey, Control-Alt-Delete, Iron Giant, Snaith Racing and Curtis how you?
Keep a look out on the site for official touch days in the new year!

Who could it be now??
Seems the old Pinelands Squirrel has bigger plans up his sleeve than we thought?
The Nadoes brand is stronger than ever!
To quote Michael Jordan: “In my life I’ve missed over 9000 shots. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and I’ve missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. This is why I succeed.”
We’ve had an incredible season, Nadoes. A 3 year unbeaten streak is almost unheard of in any competition around the world. I truly believe that we are stronger now than ever before. Having been a part of one of the most epic fines I’ve ever had the honour of experiencing in my life, I’ve found a new understanding for what it means to be a Nadoe.
Just like Donkey said last night-we don’t play for a trophy, we play for each other, so we always win and we’re always the best. Hearing guys that have played for Cobras like big Greg Dyer, Bermuda, Stander, Bones and G-ray screaming “I’m Nadoes till I die!” serves as testimony to the fact that we are the greatest team in the world and our vibe is unmatched!
Like I said last night, winning once or twice can be seen as lucky, but winning 9 times is proof. We could leave the internal league for 7 years and still be the team with the most trophies and the best win ratio in the competitions history. That’s proof. I would not trade a single one of you for any of the Cobras players. That’s proof.
This can only make us stronger. We’ve never lost 2 in a row and we never will. 2012 we make it 10 titles.
Nadoes till I die.

Nadoes don’t lose finals…
Nadoes what a fantastic performance last night, both on the field and in the change room.
We are almost there but have one massive hurdle still to overcome.
With the final in mind we will be upping the ante at touch/practise.
This is the touch/practise schedule up until the final.
Friday 16 September 2011 – Nadoes Touch at 5pm
Sunday 18 September 2011 – Nadoes touch at 4-5:30pm AND Nadoes Practise 5:30-6:15pm
Monday 19 September 2011 – Nadoes Practise 5:30 – 6:30pm AND Nadoes Dinner at Spur 7:00pm(2 for 1)
Wednesday 21 September 2011 – Nadoes Final 8:30pm
Lets make one huge effort here guys. Attendance and enthusiasm is the key!
It’s not the winning, nor our 9 championship trophies. It’s not the unbeaten seasons, nor the stamp on our proud chests marking the Tornadoe ablaze in our hearts… but it’s the magic of our brotherhood. It’s not because we’re better, it’s because we love each other. We’re not just a team, we’re a family. Nadoesdays like these are what we dream of. Championship trophy number 10 on Wednesday night. ‘Nadoes don’t lose finals. ‘Nadoes ‘till I die.

My trophy lies over the ocean, my trophy lies over the sea, my trophy lies over the ocean, so bring back my trophy to me!
Hi guys
Our time of reckoning is fast approaching. As mentioned before, we play our semi-final on Wednesday 14 September 2011 at 18h00 vs. The Magic Lions on the B field (Green Mile).
In the build up to this most important event we will be having a super big SuperSunday touch game on Sunday at 4pm. Then we will also be having practise on Monday at 5:30pm.
Guys it goes without saying that the touch session and practise are hugely important in preparing us for our big match.
Let’s please get down on Sunday and Monday, engage, interact and enjoy the Nadoes experience. We all will be better for it!
If you have any issues such as injuries, super important commitments etc then please please let either myself, Raun, Theo or Oliver J know.
Yours in the Nadoes
Uchacha
PS: Some Nadoes will be heading up to the Green Mile this eve to watch the other semi-final. The match starts at 18h00 on the B field. If you can, let’s get up there, watch, analyse and plan the down fall of our potential final opposition.

SUPERSUNDAY IS SET TO BE A CRACKER!!
Yes gents, it is Super Sunday time. There has been plenty of chirps thrown around on bbm, twitter and facebook about the Sunday Touch games. Last week Sunday was an absolute gem apparently. The conditions were slightly wet under foot, but that didnt stop the ball from being shifted from coast to coast, or ocean to ocean as the infamous Renzo Bevillo Puccini likes to put it.
There has been two question on the Nadoes community minds recently, they are…. Will Healey have his hands present? Will Bomsber & Phil dominate the 10 channel as per usual?
More shocking news that has just been tweeted is that Theo AKA Teddy Von Aspen will be sober at touch today. Huge congratulations to him as this has not been the case since 2007. One will not see this site today!!
Some rugga news if you did not watch it on the weekend:
Bosch went down to Bishops | WP beat Pumas | Bulls walk over Leopards | Griquas pip Cheetahs | Aussie win the Tri-Nations | UCT gave a hard one up the Bay and England beat Ireland.
Nadoes, it is an absolute cracker of a day!! Let’s all make a massive effort to get down to touch at 16h00 and chuck the pigskin around!!

Kwak From Down Under
Last Sunday saw Sydney-based Nadoe Community Members Joe Dirt and AB take on the City to Surf 14km run from Sydney CBD to the shores of Bondi Beach, a race day featuring 85,000 people.
After a stringent training regime of a single 2km run in early June, Joe Dirt was obviously abit concerned of having over-trained or peaking too soon. However, his concerns were unfounded as he surprised everyone, including himself, when he trotted home in a personal best of 1h30min. AB managed to flap his way through the crowds to cross the line in 1h05mins.
The duo have now set their sights on the Sydney Half Marathon in late September, with Joe Dirt focusing on the very important rest and recuperation phase before the big day.
Good Luck to the boys back on the Nadoes Mile – BBMT!

Nadoes start business end of the season with a win
Victory celebrations Nadoes style beat Ubombu
In dark skies and stern winds the Nadoes began the second round of this year’s internal league championship defense with a convincing if not electrifying 19-0 win over our old foes Ubombu.
There was definitely plenty of rust around this year after the 8 week midyear break, with a number of uncharacteristic mistakes early on from the Nadoes team.
But with plenty of experience out there on the park, the call was given to keep it tight and settle the nerves. The result being Gloakothoco crashing over from a lineout maul set up around 10m’s out. This was shortly followed an electric pick and go score from Phil (hill) the drill, after a storming charge by big Gregg dyer.
Playing into the wind in second half, the Nadoes where restricted to one score, that being made by flyhalf Kyle Stokes, who swooped in on a loose Ubombu pass and trotted over from about 15m’s out.
With captain Theo’s inspiring after match words, “If we dominate like this playing badly imagine what we can do when we fire” ringing in the players ears, the boys set off to the Nadoes holly ground and there began consuming as much beer as possible.
Awards for the evening:
Try of the match: Phil “the drill” Quma
Meerkat: Aviwe “ I got a feeling” Mgijima
Big Lick: Guy “ Lock and Load” Loxton
Thornadoe (man of the match): Big Greg Dyer
Wining builds momentum…. Expect this momentum to keep increasing.

Plett tour wrap up and report
The Nadoes annual Tour de Plett proved to be a resounding success once again, both on and off the field. With over 30 Nadoes gracing the shores of the garden route hotspot, the locals were set for an entertaining weekend and the Nadoes did not disappoint!
With a resounding victory on Friday night that saw a great mix of youth and experience flairing together, to tearing apart Flashbacks and VIP, the Nadoes brand continues to grow higher and wider.
No doubt the focus of the weekend was placed on Friday’s match, and the men in the famous red and black ran in well over 15 tries, with a 3 try haul in the last minute.
Jon Friday was a pillar of strength at loosehead and a man who literally counts down the days a year in advance to every Plett tour. His physical approach to the game was evident in his absolute annihilation of Plett’s 8th man who unfortunately had to be carried off on a stretcher.Bomma showed his versatility once again having played everywhere in the front row during the course of the game, throwing in lineouts (somewhat straight), making countless tackles all over the park and slotting conversions that Carter himself would find tricky. His off the field comments and salsa dancing mesmerised Plett locals, but this came at a great cost that saw Shawn reeling in pain after rolling an ankle on the dance floor. Mole in the hole produced a solid performance once again in the front row, digging holes in the opponents rucks and hunting ball all day. The singing and acting out of the mole in the hole song and dance is always a treat in the post match festivities.
The lock pairing of Josh Gloakocoko and the Great Dayne continues to grow in stature and strength. A formidable mix of youth and experience that terrorises defensive lines and lineouts. Gloakocoko burst through Plett’s defense on numerous occasions with both biceps firing, and after receiving a short kick-off, ran over/through his opposite number. The Great Dayne made a surprise appearance at the game after driving straight from the office in his suit to Plett in no less than 3 hours as he was determined to bring the heat. Dayne’s work rate around the field was again impressive and poached the oppositions lineouts just like Stevie Gregan poached his sister that same evening.
The loose trio of Donkey, Minnaar and Theo was a treat to watch. Donkey proved just how hectic he really is after going absolutely ballistic before the game, winning big lick for the 32nd time, and putting on yet another inspirational showing at fines afterwards. A new addition to the starting line-up was a youthful 17 year old in the likes of Gareth Minnaar. On his debut for the Nadoes, Gary produced a near man of the match performance, making countless tackles and turnovers at the breakdown and scoring a sensational try. His highlight came towards the end of the 1st half after having received the ball in open play, he broke the line, drew the last defender and gave an unthinkable no looker behind the back pass to Gloakocoko who sprinted to score under the poles but more importantly the meerkat award for Gary on debut. His fines performance was just as impressive! One feels that as this young man gains experience and confidence, he will be a valuable force in the Nadoes loose trio. Theo proved too tough for Plett to handle after opening up the Nadoes try scoring account minutes into the game. He then went on to score another well grafted try that had his opponents reeling. Tinners lead from the front and got down and dirty in Steers after the game scooping out caramel and chocolate ice cream sauce with his bare hands.
Danie Anderson, a 3rd generation Nadoe, in only his 2nd game for the Nadoes produced an inspirational performance at 9. Cool, calm and collected under constant pressure at scrum time, Danny Cool provided Rexy with great service and delivery. I, for one, am extremely excited to see this man in Nadoes kit in years to come. Rexy Wickens in his 1st game at 10 for the Nadoes showed that he is just as good a flyhalf as he is a scrumhalf. Attacking the line with speed and determination, Rexy allowed the dangerous Nadoes backline to dart holes through the defense.
Curty how youuuuu-what can be said about this man? An absolute freak of nature on the field. Curty produced one of his best performances, running pushing it lines and angles that saw him dot down countless time during the match and also being awarded the man of the match award. Raunadoe was just as effective at 13, with an incredible amount of pace and unmatched footwork broke the line a number of times to either score or assist in a try.
Snaith Racing was given a start on the wing and he didn’t disappoint. Running with the ball in hand with the speed of Seabiscuit and taking more contact than known for, his age and experience worked in his favour throughout the game, ice ice baby. Conor Ray running on for just his 2nd cap showed that he too can play almost anywhere in the backline. Fielding high balls, stepping Ashwim Willemse lookalikes, vibing VIP in jocks, chundering during fines and scoring a try were just some of the accolades this 2nd generation Nadoe had on show for all to see. He too, will be a valuable addition to the side in years to come.
Poki, now resembling an old grandpa, showed that he’s still got it and plenty of rugby left in the oxygen tank he carries around with him. Having retired from internal league at the end of last year, the current Poki produced just as an effective performance and he did in the final last year.
Justin Willard earned his 1st cap for the ‘Does and a try to go with it, after getting stuck in and roaming around the park scoring tries like he roamed around VIP scoring chicks. Gordon Duffett also known as Luke Watson also ran on as a debutant, with R70 boots that he had bought the same day and inspirational head strapping. His nuggety and at times illegal rucking techniques turned over a lot of ball. Jake Mitchell, after having driven over 1000km’s to get to the game showed just why he is dynamite after winning a turnover that lead to a try and putting a abnormal hit on Plett’s massive 8th man steam train running at 100km per hour. Guy Mountford ran onto the field with immediate impact, throwing himself around with absolutely no regard for his physical well being, making tackle after tackle.
Iron Giant, one of the most capped Nadoes of all time, ran on for the first time since 2009. With injuries healed and a gold medal at the Olympics in the weightlifting category he fended off opponents like they were schoolboys. Brennan “Maviba” Wright was deadly in the midfield, with the pace of a winger it’s hard to believe that he is more accustomed to the flank position. Maviba is known for his hard running, big hitting, changeroom vibe and load it up passing and Friday night was no different! Stevie Ray-It is an absolute privilege to play alongside this man. So much heart and vibe for the Nadoes, his age proved to be just a number as he ran some faakin sick angles at 12 and made big hits until his “experience” caught up with him in the form of a calf strain.
Stevie Bill Gregan was an absolute treat to watch on the wing. Calm under the high ball and throwing out outrageous passes to his team mates that somehow worked was a sight to see. Thomas Vaughn, wow. Tom was determined to show that he can both coach and play rugby, and that he did, kinda. Running an S-ball on a 4 man overlap, chucking no look passes as soon as defenders approached and calling shift defense when he saw pod runners opposite him was both hilarious and effective.James “control Alt delete” Alt-you can’t say you’ve played for the Nadoes unless you’ve played alongside this man. What an inspirational human. Alty showed that married life doesn’t stop one from being just as hectic on and off the field and must be thanked and credited with an extremely successful Plett tour.
A big thank must also be given to Charlie Sanderoff, also known as Tappe Henning for the evening, for a great performance with the whistle and an even better one as fines master!
Finally, a thank you to all involved for one of the best Plett tours yet! The performances on the field and in the changeroom will be remembered forever.
Our focus now shifts to the business end of the internal league season, where we face Ubumbo, Wildboys and Spanners and then the semi and final. 2011 has been a special year to date and we are looking to add our 10th championship trophy and 3rd one in a row to the cabinet in September. It is vital that we all come down to touch as our next game is in 2 and a half weeks time when UCT starts again. Touch will resume every Wednesday, Friday (with the exception of Friday 15 July) and Sunday. Wednesdays and Fridays at 5PM and Sundays at 4PM. All are welcome.

17 more sleeps till Plett Tour
Gentlemen, the excitement and tension is building around one of the greatest weekends on the Nadoes calender. I for one can barely contain myself as I sit in my office in New York City looking out at the Statue of Ruthity, ah I mean Liberty, and I find myself pondering over some questions that will be answered in 2 weeks time.
Will Donkey run the marathon with socks on this year, or use them for other means again?
Will Bomma arrive to the match sober?
Are the rumours true surrounding the return of Curty how youuuu to the field?
Is James Alt really earning his 153rd cap in Plett?
Will Charles Sanderoff be called to bail Theo out of Knysna jail?
Questions that I’m sure have crossed all our minds, but only time will provide the answers.
With the Nadoes squad fully confirmed and set to be announced next Monday, I can tell you that it boasts a world of experience and some very exciting youth prospects for the future. Gentlemen, let’s embrace the build up, lets mentally prepare ourselves for a massive weekend, but most of all let’s come down to touch and throw a ball around!
Yours in vibe

Nadoes Plett Tour 2011
Tuna fish swim South in their droves along the Warm Mozambique current. It is also around this time of year where Plettenberg Bay on the east coast just off the tip of Africa gets an influx of prime male and female human beings. Rumour has it they come in search for a little more than just good food and weather. Rumour has it they excel in all walks of human life ranging from recreational ball games to cultural chanting and danc…ing. Rumour has it they also seem to very popular amongst the female specimen who travel many miles and risk their lives just to have the opportunity to meet these prime males whilst in plett. Locals will soon discover that this wasn’t going to be an ordinary weekend in their town. There will be an unexplainable buzz. The sun will beam down brighter than it had all year, the swells will peak at the optimal levels just off the famous wedge, the wind will be as gentle as whisper, and the main road Steers will never be this busy! All because it is that time of the year….the Nadoes are coming! (Wilko, 2009).
The annual Nadoes tour is slowly approaching, after speaking with Castleton officials today, the place to stay is definately the old favourite Castleton Suites (044 501 2000)-do not mention Nadoes, or rugby tour, or bunch of students coming to fuck shit up. The current rates are R950 per unit for 6 people, which works out to R160 per person per night. You won’t find anywhere cheaper apart from Raun’s mansion on the beachfront (Booked out).
Due to the World Cup last year, very few Nadoes decided to make the trip out. However, Plett tour will be in full force with the entire Nadoes squad set to attend. Traditionally there have been 2 matches on the Friday, with last year being the exception due to dwindling numbers.
We would like to see 2 teams being fielded on the day, one youth and experience mix (the youth in the likes of Conor Ray and the experience in the likes of the over-the-hill Jason Elley) as the curtain raiser for the Nadoes XV as the main match. THIS ALL DEPENDS ON DEMAND. We will only organise a 2nd game, if the numbers are there.
So what to do if you want to play?
Email/inbox me your name and position (joshgloak@gmail.com) Example:
Justin Mitchell-Tighthead prop.
Anyone keen is welcome to play, past Nadoes, current Nadoes and future Nadoes (Matrics etc).
This needs to be done BEFORE 23 MAY, so I can let James Alt know how many guys we have so he can organise the appropriatte number of teams.
The weekends line up:
Friday 8 July: Games vs Plett rugby club
Friday 8 July: Afterparty at VIP/Flashbacks/Dolphin’s circle on main street
Saturday 9 July: Knysna Marathon
Saturday 9 July: Nadoes official afterparty at Crabs Creek in Knysna
My team, your team, OUR team. Nadoes.

Nadoes vs Panthers match report
Nadoes get off to a winning start!
Yes, last night a very green Nadoes outfit hit the Green Mile for our opening encounter of the season against the Panthers. From the outset it was evident that this was indeed our first run out together but through perseverance and Nadoes passion we played some scintillating rugby and won 31-14, with a 5 try bonus point.
As Nadoes we set very high standards for ourselves and can feel a bit upset that some passes didn’t go to hand, some tackles were mist and some moves didn’t go to plan. But its this high standard set, that will make our next match that more exciting. We have room for improvement and if we are winning 31-14 now, imagine when the passes start sticking and the fitness levels go up!
The foundations have been set gents. We have seen we can score tries from any where on the park and its time now to sharpen those skills and come together as a team and grow.
Special mentions must go out to Bomma Dyson for winning the ‘big lick’ award. This man threw himself around the Mile last night and is example to all in terms of having a good Nadoes attitude. Great Dayne, like an old red wine is getting better with age. Stealing balls in the line out, hitting rucks and scoring tries, this man has the full package. Aviwe won the ‘Meerkat’ award for some dazzling moments on the field last night. Its so great having this man back on the park for the Nadoes and we are all looking forward to many more tries from the great man. Try of the match went to Cuty ‘How you?’, for a scoring a classic Nadoes team try. With the ball going through multiple pairs of hands and some fancy footwork, Curty finished off a great team effort.
For the guys who made the effort to come into the change room, I bet you enjoyed yourselves! We cleaned up 9 cases amongst us and the Nadoes songs reverberated around the UCT rugby club.
The change room experience is a huge part of who the Nadoes are. Lets get a better turn out in the change room next week. I understand that guys have tests and work to do, but just one beer with the team wont hurt. Lets all make an effort here gents.
As I said earlier, we have set a great foundation gents, it’s just now up to us to develop and improve. It’s starts tomorrow at Friday touch where a skilled and fun filled game of touch will be played on Lower Desert at 5pm.
Weldone to all who played and contributed to our first win. You Nadoes can be proud!
Till Friday…

Die Mongrels*
As always the Mongrels go into this year’s annual “pull a ringer out of the hat day” tournament in every bodies face, but at the same time, under the radar. Such is the guile, dexterity and deviousness of the Mongrel crew.
With joke teams such Dayne’s “Bread Money” and Tom (I’m over the hill) Vaughn’s “Wank Tanks” unfortunately still taking part in this year’s competition. It is my pleasure to let you know that the Mongrels, a team that really exemplifies the traditions of this tournament are back in action and stronger than ever.
With stalwarts such as “there’s only one Marcel Brache”, ‘Bermuda Jamaica”, “Ben the Gem”, “Wilko show and Go”, “Lock and Load”, “Olli Boom Bi Yer” and “Stevie G” joined this year with the addition of the big hitting “Theo Jewish Fro” as well as a debut for the young but promising Douglas Mallet. It appears that the Mongrels fortunes can only rise.
With the team already going through some inspirational speeches from Jackie Moon: “Suck my cock, I’ll murder your family” and our farther John Mongrel himself: “We take for what we neeed! And give nothing bek”. Be sure to see plenty of aggression and uncalled for violence during the day..
We aint.. goin nowhere.. We aint.. goin nowhere. We can’t be stopped now… Cause we Mongrels for life.

Here For The Beer
Let’s be honest: HFTB is a team of ordinary guys, playing ordinary cricket.
With barely a glove, box or pad amongst us and with most of the team believing that ‘nets’ are for fishing with and ‘bat’ is what AB gets at Tiger every Friday, it is no wonder that most teams underestimate our ability on the pitch.
We’re a mixed bunch with strength’s and weaknesses not commonly found in the middle of an oval, leading to an unorthodox approach to each game. From Kaptein’s strategic opening ball last year, which almost went for 6 without sniffing the pitch (let alone a bat), to his dismissal of the great Ben The Gem a few balls later…unpredictability is what HFTB is about -underestimate us at your peril…imjusayin.
The Team:
1. Mellon – spins more balls than Tom’s dad spins LP’s at Deco-Dance.
2. MacMillan – will be accompanied by his girlfriend to distract the opposition.
3. Kaptein – will be opening the bowling…every game.
4. Merry-Christmas – Good luck to the bowling team…if he can get both eyes open…fully…at the same time.
5. Dirty – Agile, quick, and a step that leaves most defenders horizontal – everything a good cricketer needs!
6. Muffins – will be supplying the team with bats, pads, gloves, etc.
7. Just-In-The-Gap – amazing batsmen…or bowler…yet to be confirmed at this stage.
8. AB – comfortable behind the stumps, he can also do an accurate Muralitharan impersonation with ball in hand
Manager / Pint-pourer: TePokey.
“Win or lose, we’re always Here For The Beer.”
Nadoes Cricket 8’s Sunday 20th March, Team Profile 02
THE TANKS
Winning has become synonymous with The Tanks’ brand over the years. Consistently the top team, year in, year out, 2011 will be no different. The Tanks like the challenge of going into a tournament as favourites. The Tanks like being defending champions. The Tank brand wears victory and success very well.
The 2011 squad is a cracker jacker one, with seasoned professionals and some fresh faces. This squad once again will bring attractive cricket to the Squirrels Nest on Sunday.
Gio Collusi
This man has been there, done that and gotten the polo shirt. A past Nadoes 7’s champion, multiple Western Province Cricket Association 1A league winner and SA Club Champion. With the rest of the sides bringing clowns to the tournament, The Tanks have brought cricket players.
Thomas Dawson-Squibb
The ability to train the mind is becoming more and more important in professional sport. Composure under pressure and the ability to win the tough battles are what make modern sportsmen great. Thomas eats mental toughness for breakfast. As well as being headstrong, this lanky, pale guy can swing the ball both ways and hit an absurdly long ball for a wee fellow.
Pote
One of the younger members of the team Mr. Pote adds a youthful exuberance to a very well balanced outfit. A first team charger for the Pinelands Cricket Club, this man can most certainly play. He’s been quoted as saying he’s going to spank Dayne Allenbrook into the Pinelands BP…against the wind.
Nicholas McConnachie
The present captain of the Pinelands Cricket Club, Nic knows the ovals at the PCC like the back of his hand. An all rounder of high repute, this man will get you out with the ball and hit you for a big six in the same game. Nic was quoted as saying Here For the Beer will once again be the laughing stock of the tournament.
Owais Alam Shah
Born 22 October 1978 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, is an English cricketer. A middle-order batsman, he has played for Middlesex since his youth and has represented England in all forms of the games.
Between 2001 and 2009, he played 71 ODIs and 17 Twenty20 Internationals. He also played 6 Tests, starting with a strong 88 on debut against India in 2006, however opportunities were limited and he did not make his third appearance until 2009 against the West Indies in 2008-09 he was dropped. With Michael Vaughan retired and Ian Bell dropped, Shah had the opportunity to claim the number three position for himself, however a weak series saw him dropped in favour of Ravi Bopara.
He has also represented the Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders during the 2009 and 2010 seasons before being bought by Kochi for the following two seasons, and had a short stint at the Wellington Firebirds in New Zealand.
Charles Sanderoff
The feisty all rounder returns to The Tanks, after a hiatus overseas. Like Thomas ,this athlete to can swing the ball both ways and is extremely difficult to get away. His acrobatics in the field will be something to watch out for and his sweet striking with the willow a sight to behold. This player is most highly touted to take the player of the tournament honours.
Renzo Puccini
Long white socks, long white baggies and one hell of a cricketer! This man won bowler of the tournament last year. He takes the pace off the bowl perfectly and is so accurate its ridiculous. A fine keeper behind the stumps when called upon and in fantastic form with the ladies at present. Renzo has said Graeme Barrat and Jason Elley are over the hill and far to old for this tournament. Barratt and Elley for TFC.
Warren Butler
Warren Butler’s magic, he wears a magic hat! Magic is the apt word here folks as Warren performs miracles with both Bat and ball. Look away for a second and the game will be over. With a tremendous attitude and fighting spirit, Warren will hit you into a corner and not let you out.
Super Friday Nadoes Touch-5PM Lower Desert B
After a clear 1st game dominance by the youth, the experience will be licking their wounds and gathering their thoughts on just how to come back from a rather embarrassing situation this past Sunday.
Next Touch is Friday 18 March at 5PM. It would be lovely if the likes of Bomma Dyson, Derry, Healz, Stu, Muda, the Drill, Curty how yooooou, Sha, Steggs, would find their boots and show some face on the field.
As of Friday there are 18 days till the first game. Let’s get involved!

Nadoes Cricket 8’s Sunday 20th March, Team Profile 01
YOUNG MONEY
With the bitter disappointment of last year fresh in the minds’ of Nadoes cricket’s most successful franchise, the management has put together a superb and unrivalled mix of youthful athleticism and tried and trusted exuberance. The World cricketing fraternity reaches the world over. The young money scouts left no stone unturned and avenue untravelled to find these worthy professionals of the modern game. These 8 men, (dare I say gods ?) have been chosen to represent Young Money in the 2011 campaign.
Dayne Allenbrook – The charismatic talisman is back once again to captain the Young Money franchise. His cool head under pressure and lightning quick running between the wickets have become trademarks of the modern game. This guy is a true professional and will be looking forward to the greatly anticipated match up with Tom’s Tits.
Murray King – A surprise inclusion this year after his 5 consecutive years of bad performances, but has been showing some promise this year. After a string of bad performances, Murray was sent for an eye test that revealed he was completely blind in one eye. It also revealed that his spine was made completely of titanium and he creaked in the cold, but this was unrelated. Since he has manged to curtail his drinking, he has been putting in some good performances and this coupled with his new glasses, should stand him in good stead to win another title.
Tim Florence – The Guru jnr is back to inject some pace and accuracy into the bowling line up. He has been hailed as the Micheal Holding of his era. You had better wear a helmet kids, or he’ll knockyour f**king head off!!
Scott Fraser – This guy’s presence is immense, his batting nearly carried the trophy home last year and he will be hoping to go one better this year. A live wire character that can turn his arm over to great effect, will be in line for batter of the day for sure.
Richard Barker – A most wiley competitor, he plays the game the hardest of all. Almost Merv Hughes’esque in his behaviour out on the field, a glaring eye and foul mouth are traits that this man has in abundance.
Shawn Dyson – The Rory Kleinveld stunt double joins us from Primrose this year. After taking a beating at the hands of Young money in previous years, the all rounder has seen a massive revival in his game and this has caught the eye of the selectors and has warranted his inclusion in the young money franchise for 2011.
Derry Mitchell – This lanky blonde son of WBO Lightweight champion Brian Mitchell, has attracted the attention of the scouts with some of his domestic season’s power hitting. His vibe is to hectic to even explain in words. It is rumoured that he invented the high five.
Andrew Cronje – Picked out of the cricketing wastelands, this once great power hitter has returned to full glory. His work in the off season has been inspirational and has been described by Geofrey Boycott as “the biggest hitter in cricket”. The only man ever to hit a six at Newlands over table mountain, has signed with Young money to add the Nadoes 8’s crown to his ever growing trophy cabinet.
Yours in Cricket,
Jesus

BOSCH OLD BOYS’ RUGBY TOURNAMENT
This year sees the first ever oldboys rugby tournament of its kind. The event will be held over an entire weekend, and will contest some of the capes biggest and passionate rugby old boys. The inaugural old boys tournament will feature the likes of Rondebosch, Bishops, SACS, Brackenfell, Milnerton, Tableview, Edgmead, Fairmont and Fairbairn old boys.The tournament will start on Friday the 29th October and be held at Milnerton High school. All teams will play a total of 3 group games over the weekend, and finish with the semi finals and finals Sunday 31 October. Games will be 40 minutes long, and in Old Boys tradition, the only change to the full IRB laws, will be rolling substitutes. In its early stages of development, the tournament has received backing from some of SA’s biggest brands.
Over the weekend, there will be live entertainment, beer tents, food stalls-pretty much a similar vibe to the Cape Town 10’s. We get a free case of powerade and 2 cases of beer each day and big prizes for the winner. Press and media exposure as well. We would really like to see as many Nadoes in the side as possible. This is where we can really showcase where most of us have come from to where we are today. Bosch gave us so much, and now we get an opportunity to give back and show why Bosch is so great. We get to wear those sick white old boys’ jerseys very few times over the year (3 if we lucky), so lets seize this opportunity to wear that jersey with pride and honour once again.
Important details:
Tournament is from Friday 29 Oct to Sunday 31 Oct
1 game on Friday-sometime between 16:00 and 20:00
2 games on Saturday-after 12:00
2 games on Sunday-after 12:00
As mentioned above games are only 40 minutes long. So effectively it’s only about 2 hours out of each day. We know it’s the weekend before exams, but the tournament only starts after 12:00 on Sat and Sun and even later on the Friday. This leaves more than enough time to bang some study sessions inbetween. All the tournament entry fees have already been paid.
Let’s get hectic okes, we can snatch up another trophy for us and Bosch and showcase our talent.
If you would like to play: sms Gloakocoko on 083 725 5241 or send facebook message (we need a squad of 25 minimum)ASAP!!!!!
If you know of any okes that are good and will be keen, that don’t check this site, please invite them to the facebook event or tell them to get in contact with Gloakocoko. Spread the word.

NADOES YOUTH SHOW THE EXPERIENCE HOW IT’S DONE
Sunday October 3rd marked the day for the second annual Nadoes Touch Tournament. With a quicker and improved format, the stage was set for a blistering affair. No doubt many upsets and controversies on the day. The late arrival of last year’s champions, the experience, lead by Donkey, on the back of a Blue Bulls bakkie signalled the beginning of the end for the tournament favourites. In their opening game they were hammered 9-0 by a confident, well organised, youth side (Les Bleus). Needless to say, it was all downhill for the reigning champs, who failed to qualify for the semi-finals. The battle was on for the wooden spoon, with Frodo’s side (the Leopards) keen to embarrass the former glory that was the experience. A tight match, with the Leopards squeezing out a victory.
The All blacks, lead by Oli Johnston, managed to beat an improving side throughout the tournament, lead by Matty Morris, who, with more subs possibly could’ve turned the result around. Morry and his boys played in the 3rd/4th place playoff game against a youthful schoolboy side. No doubt the highlight of the match was watching future Nadoes superstar Matty Webb inside outside/shimmy/step/embarrass an ageing David Bonnelie, to run a good 40m to score the try of the tournament. The schoolboys showed that Donkey can sleep easy at night knowing that the future is bright for the Nadoes.
The final was to be played between the All Blacks and Les Bleus (who up until the final hadn’t conceded a try). The All Blacks, missing their pivotal haka leader, lock ‘n load, did show some moments of brilliance during the game and showed that they were worthy contenders for the trophy. A tight affair with the lead changing hands multiple times, but ultimately Les Bleus managed to win the game 4-2 and along with it the trophy.
Congrats to the winning team consisting of: Stu von Blitzenstein©, Gloakocoko, Shafiekfiek he’s fuckin kweek, Tameez , Jet, Brrrrrrrrrrrr Winter, Dean Grant, Rob McLagan, Stokes.
NADOES WIN 2010 UCT STEINHOFF INTERNAL LEAGUE
Last Thursday saw the Nadoes emerge victorious from yet another succesful season up on the Green Mile, beating the respected Purple Cobras, 19-5.
Im not going to go into too much of a Match Report, but coming out firing, the Nadoes lead 14-0 at half time with two well-deserved tries from The-O, which were calmly converted by WP Bomber Dyson.
A break-away try by Mark Winter in the second half took the score to 19-0 before the Cobras advanced patiently towards the Nadoes line, resulting in Ollie Braithwaite powering over, making the final score 19-5.
FINAL AWARDS:
Meerkat: Lloyd Te Pokey Anderson
Try of the Match: The-o Von Aspern

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
