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.

“If you have seen Siv, he is fantastic, did his own sold out show for a month at On Broadway. We are raising money for Sports4Kids, which is a very worthwhile charity. Booze is being sold on the night, and is sponsored so all profits go to the charity. Between you and me, organising a few extra comedians so it should be a seriously one, to suite all different humours. 150 seats in total, we are looking to sell out obviously. If you could chat to your boys and their girls and get a group together, would really appreciate it!”

2010 FINAL COUNTDOWN BEGINS!!!
Gentlemen of the Nadoes,
Indeed that time of year has come. The winter months slowly move on, and the tweeting of birds in the morning is coupled by the buds of spring. The Desert field resembles a sandpit rather than a rugby field, and the temperature on the green mile moves up into double figures.
Perhaps more pertinent, the knock-out stages of the coveted internal league begin – and with that the Nadoes are awoken from their slumber post their brief mid-season break. As years have gone by, the Nadoes have never been far from a final, in fact nor have they been far from the trophy – not by chance, not by luck, nor poor refereeing. In fact they have been there due to an incomparible vibe, a desire for success rivalled by few, an immense ability to down far too much beer, and an importance placed in the game of touch rugby without peer. (and a little structure!!- ed))
Next week sees the 1/4 final – we are not sure of the opponents, but a tough game it will be, then the semi, then another break in which (hopefully) we will be honing our skills for the all important final. To add to that we have an HPL, a formal and probably one or two other key functions that form the climax of the Nadoes year.
What we must remember, is the custodian of the Nadoes is you, not anyone else, but you. If YOU want to make a vibe, and feel like you are part of something that many envy, then it is up to YOU to make this happen.
This, gentlemen, is not a pressure it’s a privilege!
The likes of AB, LLLLoyd, Bevilo Puccini, and more may well be donning the red and black for the last time, and I know that they are so amped to end their career with a bang, but even more importantly, the future of the Nadoes have another/first chance to play in a massive final!
Gentlemen, touch rugby is on Wednesday 17:00, Sunday 16:00 and squad touch and structure session is on Monday @17:00. Now is the time to attend- it’ll be worth it!!
Just remember, 10% of your life makes up 90% of your memories, and this special time is very much in that 10%. T Vaughan

NADOES VS COLLEGE
Today sees the Mighty Tornadoes take on College House on the Green Mile. There has been a lot of articles posted on numerous rugby websites about the Great Dayne being fit to play today. This is a complete lie, Dayne has tweaked his ankle and will be out for sometime. We wish Dayne a speedy recovery. There also has been talk about Damion Stander making claims about adding another trophy to his cabinet, let’s see if this really happens. Lastly could Shawn Dyson aka Hilton Lobberts also known as Casanova please not forget the Big Lick trophy at home today, there are a lot of people wanting to get their hands on it tonight.

THE TIME IS NEAR!!!
With the ending of the world cup, the return to varsity as usual and with mythical talk of the return of the Donk, the UCT internal league heads into the business end of the season. The undefeated champions of last season the Tornadoes where in red hot form going into the break with emphatic victories over Marquad and the Turtles, 62-0 and 53-5 respectively.
With cries of Keep My Trophy (KMT- that’s for you Bomber) where it belongs echoing out of the UCT changing room, it doesn’t look like this team that has elevated itself to almost legendary status means to give up there cup, there honor or there vibe to any challenger at any time.

The Nadoes Ryder Cup was first played in 2004 and has been played every year since. The American team have only tasted defeat once in its history, winning five out of the six previous outings.

NADOES WIN SECOND LEAGUE GAME v Shebeen Boys 33-5
Nadoes v Shebeen Boys, 28 April 2010
With only one game under their belts and then last week’s bye causing abit of a haphazard start to this years Internal League, the Nadoes were more than well-rested and eager to once again get out onto the pitch last night and keep building their winning momentum in defence of last years title.
Stu-Oh-Flower-Mac ran the boys through the importance of the meanings and histories behind each AWARD which went to the following:
Meerkat Award: No.10, Lock&-Load, Cally Hayes’ Boyrfriend——- GUY LOXTON for some sick stepping on the way to the try-line.
Try of the Match: A True Nadoes-style flair with the ball travelling through everyones hands, but crossing the line with——MARK WINTER – on debut.
Big Lick: Deciding that tackling is more fun than running with the ball, THE-O and STANDER threw the ball to the Shebeen boy in front of them, before double-teaming him, temporarily making him an inseperable part of the Green Mile.
Thornadoe – Man of the Match: A few good performances last night, with Loxton putting up his hand, the Great Dayne also in fine form, Curty always playing his heart out, but in the end a fantastic game of Pick&Go’s for——THE-O – Uchacha!

<< DAMAGES HAVE CONSEQUENCES! >>
While booze often brings out our inner child……
Over the years there have been many damages incurred that have followed the famed NADOES CHANGE-ROOM SESSIONS in saying that, it is certainly not viewed as ACCEPTABLE & COMMON PRACTICE!
In the Nadoes we pride ourselves in excellence, friendship and creating a vibe second to no other. This quest does however, at times, come at a cost. Damages, on occasions, are incurred by overzealous players, friends, supporters and family when the celebrations commence and the lager flows. I understand this and have been guilty of this myself on a few occasions over the years but that still does not make it right. This is not a name and shame article or written to kuk anyone out, I’m just letting everyone know that from now on, you will be responsible for your actions and held liable for the damages.
In the past the NADOES so called fund has been fitting the bill, where you guys think the money has come from who knows?? Because it has had to come from somewhere, believe you me! The fact is that for years people have been getting away with damages they have caused and left the fund to clean up their mess. THIS WILL NO LONGER HAPPEN
....Responsibility must be taken!
Please understand, I know that shit happens and things get damaged or broken, all im saying is that those responsible be man enough to step-up the morning after and apologise to the affected parties and rectify the miss-hap, be it cleaning up the mess left behind or simply paying for the damages incurred, just get it done. That’s all, take responsibility for your actions and all is well. If you break something, fix it or make arrangements to have it fixed, simple as that.
Where does this come from you might ask, well it’s simple, after many formal’s (Kelvin Grove), change-room sessions (UCT & VILLAGES) and parties (GLOBAL) property has been damaged and the fund has been left to fit the bill. The fact is, often the individuals who end up paying the bill (i.e. the fund is a myth) are often those who work behind the scenes to make thing happen for the greater Nadoes Community and are often not even involved in causing the damage themselves. not only that, ULTIMATELY the biggest loser is YOU and ME as the TORNADOES name is brought down through these small indiscretions by a minority!
All I’m saying is shit happens, I know, so all I want you to do is take responsibility if something goes wrong, take ownership and rectify the problem! Individuals can’t afford to keep picking up the bill for pussy’s who don’t right their wrongs!
See you at touch or at the home of Nadoes Rugby, UCHACHA

NADOES WIN SEASON OPENER v PANTHERS: 15-0
Last nite saw the Nadoes put together a good opening performance, albeit an error-ridden one, to beat the Panthers 15-0. Lots of work to be done with regards to first phase structure, ball presentation and counter-rucking, but our defense was solid and reminiscent of last season, which is a very positive sign!
As always there were a few AWARDS up for grabs:
Meerkat Award: The entire Front Row for supurb scrumming…until the opposition called for uncontested scrums.
Try of the Match: A tough decision, but in the end it went to Shaffiq-he’s-quick for an awesome individual zoom-zoom effort to complete his hatrick…on debut!
Big Lick: No surprises here really. An earth-shuddering collision from Bevillo Riva almost ending some poor individual at a crucial time of the game defending on our line.
Thornadoe – Man of the Match: No surprises here either. Shaffiq-he’s-Quiiiiick for his three-try haul on debut. This man is quick and has catapulted himself to the top of this seasons Most Tries category.
A good nite out was then had as the boys bussed through to IVY LEAGUE, with even Contol-Alt-Delete joining the Youth!
