WEASEL CUP RETURNS TO PHUKET
The old phrase a game of two halves was never more true than when used to describe this years eagerly awaited Weasel Cup game between the Old Foes from Phuket and Bangkok. After years of disappointment, Phuket literally held on to a shaky 19-14 win. The game looked over to some when Phuket lead 19-0 at half time after a first half of rugby that had the home crowd on it's feet. However the bangers are made of stern stuff and under new Club Captain Andrew Tatum turned the screws and came a dropped pass away from turning the game completely on it's head.

CHARITY BIKE RIDE
GO BANGERS !!!

They may be the team that everyone loves to hate, but three of bangkok's very own Bangers are doing a Charity bike Ride from Bangkok to Phuket, a ride of 970km in aid of the Phuket Tens Charity The Asia Centre Foundation

As we write (left to right) Coach Peter Burgess, prop Bob Pearson and hooker and captain Jean Francois Klentzi are over halfway to completing the ride that they started on Monday 25th February the day after their sensational come from in front defeat in the final of the Bangkok Tens Old Boys Competition (Oooops).

To date they have been pledged close to 300,000 Baht, which they will present to the charity at this years Phuket Tens, provided they can ride all the way back down again to deliver it.
