Norwich Medics Ladies took on the UEA WRFC freshers this afternoon at Colney Lane in an informal friendly. The 12 players, plus borrowed girls from UEA, came close to their first victory, but were pipped by 2 points. Final score 17 - 15 to UEA.
Well done to the Ladies, whose confidence is growing and who are certainly well on their way to a win.
If any ladies have photos or would like to do a match report, e-mail them/it to the club and it will be posted on here.

Newsletter, 23rd November
Dear all,

Also please come to MED if you have a car as last week one person had enough people to make up half of a scrum in his Yaris. Toyota Yarises are small weedy cars which can't handle such exertion – please come & pick people up.

NMRFC MENS 1ST XV vs LEICESTER MEDCIS 1 ST XV REPORT (a recap of a previous e-mail by Mark)
The Men's squad have achieved their first victory over medical school opposition. A spirited performance from Norwich Medics saw the team overturn a 14 - 0 halftime deficit to run out 26 - 14 winners against Leicester Medics in an away match last Saturday.
Scorers were Jamie 'Stumpy' Pruden, using all his forward power to crash through the defence and score, Tom 'Frodo' Robinson in an excellent individual break, Tom 'Hulk' Lewis and Hugh Simpson.
This marks Norwich Medics' first victory against medical school opposition since our formation in 2005 and will give the team great confidence ahead of our match against Brighton & Sussex Medics next Sunday. Well done to all who played.
COMMENTS E-MAILED TO NMRFC FROM VICE PRESIDENTS & THE PRESIDENT RE: VICTORY OVER LEICESTER MEDICS
Professor Sam Leinster – 'Well done everybody. Now that you have set a precedent I expect more of the same'.
Mr Terry Jones – 'Thank you for the news of the teams fantastic performance against Leicester yesterday. I was very sorry I was not there to see it. Please pass on my congratulations to all the team'.
Mr Mike Lambert – 'Congratulations – Good result and hopefully the first of many'.
REPORT OF NMRFC WOMENS 1ST XV vs BIRMINGHAM WOMENS 1 ST XV (by Tilly)

FUTURE WOMENS FIXTURES (from Tilly)
Tilly is currently trying to sort out another match to keep the momentum going, possibly another fixture with the UEA freshers.

Saturday Jan 20th NMRFC vs Warwick medics away
Feb – Southampton Medics and Hull York Medics Derby!, Birmingham rugby birds (return fixture at Crus), Bristol Medics?
WOMENS KIT (from Tilly)
Ladies, we really need to sort out what we're doing about our playing kit cos we're gonna need it for all those matches next term! Please discuss it amongst yourselves at training and then let Jamie know any ideas you come up with – I'm not really bothered about whether it's pink or not, as long as we get it ordered soon!

Norwich Medics 26, Leicester Medics 14
A strong. committed and spirited performance from Norwich Medics saw them overturn a 14 - 0 halftime deficit to run out 26 - 14 winners against Leicester Medics in an away match this afternoon.
Scorers were Jamie 'Stumpy' Pruden, using all his forward power to crash through the defence and score, Tom 'Frodo' Robinson in an excellent individual break, Tom 'Hulk' Lewis and Hugh Simpson.
This marks Norwich Medics' first victory against medical school opposition since our formation in 2005 and will give the team great confidence ahead of our match against Brighton & Sussex Medics next Sunday.

Newsletter - 15 November 2006
Hello all,
Did you feel something amiss in your lives this morning? Apologies for the newsletter being late – I am currently stationed at Ice Station Yarmouth for Obs & Gynae where computer access is limited by extreme workload. Anyway, it's newsletter time again, so here is all the NMRFC related stuff you need to know for the next little while.
TRAINING
This Thursday training will be at 1930 at MED or 2000 at Crus as usual. The bar will be open afterwards.
MATCH REPORTS
NMRFC Mens 1st XV vs Broadland RFC 2nd XV – We won 37-22 taking us to top of the merit league (see www.norfolkfrfu.com for confirmation) which is awesome considering our clubs youthful status on the Norfolk rugby scene. Players of note – Phil Dobbs who played his first match in the 'blue and blue' and scored a try, Hugh Powell for a good try, Dave Fearnley for excellent captaining in the absence of Martin and Hulk for a number of good runs and at least one try. Paul Ferris did not start a fight or bite anyone. Koala did, before realising the man he picked on is a bouncer, when he apologised. All in all the forwards and backs worked well together and the team can be pleased with themselves though work is still needed on reducing the number of penalties we give away.
NMRFC women's 1st XV vs Birmingham Medics Womens 1st XV – The girls started out their season with a 39-10 loss against a competitive Birmingham side. However reports suggest everyone played well and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Pictures are on the blog. I will include a fuller match report next week as and when I receive it.
THIS WEEKEND
This weekend's trip away to
Leicester Medical
School is ON. You will be travelling with the kissballers, hockey
team and netballers and assorted hangers-on. The bus leaves at
8am therefore could you anyone going meet in MED at 7:45am please.
Please also bring a £1 for the driver to keep him sweet for the
monumental piss-up that should ensue on the return journey.
Dress code – shirt and tie please
EARLY WARNING FOR THE WEEKEND AFTER NEXT – DOUBLE HEADER WEEKEND
Saturday 25th November sees us playing Diss RFC IV XV and then on Sunday
26th November we play Brighton Medics RFC. We will need players for both
fixtures – clear your diary now.
VICE PRESIDENTS
Adrian Hendrick has been appointed as a Vice President. For those of you who don't know Adrian,
on the pitch he is an Athletic Adonis of a prop (with aspirations of playing fly half) whose awe-inspiring
intercepting abilities have dazzled many a player; off the pitch he is a friendly chap and imminent dad-to-be.
Adrian has been a committed member of the club ever since I met him in the Eaton park car-park
(near the loos) one summer evening many moons ago. Adrian was very keen for the women's
team to be developed and to that end he has donated a much appreciated sum of cash to NMRFC
which has allowed the purchase of a women's kit and training balls. Adrian's company logo (A&T Computers)
will be advertised on the women's kit. Of note to players – Vice President roles are non-executive
i.e. you don't have to what Adrian says.
Final note – Thank you very much Adrian and good luck to yourself and Lisa with the
imminent arrival to the Hendrick household.
FROM THE PRESIDENT
Our President Terry Jones intends for his dental practice to sponsor the men's team shirts – more news
to follow as it happens. More information to follow soon. Terry also said that everyone played extremely
well last weekend and that NMRFC were as exciting to watch as ever.
CONGRATULATIONS
Dr Lee Shepstone, our valiant winger and lecturer on the exciting world of stats, has just received a grant
from the Medical Research Council to conduct a large (12000 patients) Randomised Control Trial (the gold
standard of research don't you know) into osteoporosis screening. The Sun says - Congratulations to Lee.
We look forward to potentially having a 'Prof' in the side in the future.
NOTE FROM THE SOCIALS BINTDates for your diary for the up & coming months:
1) Tuesday 28th November - Crimbo curry night - this is our
Christmas Dinner, comprising an excellent take-away curry with all the trimmings,
held at Crusaders, with some drinking games afterwards. Great success last year.
Menu will be e-mailed to you with choice of 5 curries. Continuing onto
town if demand for it. A small donation of £10 gets you a curry,
choice of drink (singles if spirits) on arrival, and some drinks
for drinking games. And, importantly, 2 party poppers each. Bargain.
2) Sat 9th December – post-St. Georges match. Christmas theme
3-legged pub crawl through Golden Triangle (10 pubs) ending at club
retro LCR. NOTE: this is technically in the first years holiday time
(24 hours after you finish) – come out for one last lash with your boys
& ho's before going off to celebrate the festivities and do your analytical
reviews. We are travelling to London by cars, so the bulk of the drinking
will start once we're back in Norwich. There is the option to change
into Christmas attire after the game...to be decided. Cost – FREE.
There will be accommodation (Wills bed if tasty, sofa if not)
available for any first years kicked out of halls.
3) Tuesday 16th January - Slug! Free food as normal - then Rubix
Cube pub crawl (people will be nominated a certain colour to wear

staff vs. students game. To be held at Crusaders. £TBA.
NOTE FROM JAMIE THE JOLLY MONEY MAN
Any kit you've ordered should be available this Thursday, or perhaps
next Thursday. Soon anyway. If you owe the club any money (scally-wags)
you will not be able to collect your new kit until you have paid your debts.
VIDEOS
The videos I shot of us recording an 87-0 dismantling of Norwich RFC are
now on youtube. Apologies for their being so late to go up – we had
problems with our youtube account. To save further delay, Mark has put
them on his youtube account. Links below –

PHOTOS
Could anyone with pics of the men winning last weekend please send
them to medicsrugby@gmail.com. This goes for any match or social
photos so we can share the wealth on the forum.
TRY SCORERS
We need to set-up some sort of try-scoring record in order to
award a 'leading try-scorer' award at the end of the season. This
will have to rely on honest self-reporting (take note Koala), and
the best medium for that is the forum. Try-scorers should e-mail the
club after the match with number of tries scored, which will then
be placed on a section of the forum. Those with many tries under
their belts should ensure they give us their tally a.s.a.p.
GET WELL SOON
Rupert has bust his ribs and John Lynch his ankle. Please wish
them a speedy recovery.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?
Please reply with the following information NOW – not later.
Put 'yes' or 'no' next to each of following & tell us whether
you are bringing a partner. Please reply NOW so we can get
organising.

Norwich Medics Ladies v. Birmingham Medics Ladies
Some pics from the first match, if anyone has anymore please send them a.s.a.p.
An eventful weekend for Norwich Medics
Congratulations to the Men for a winning performance against Broadland at Little Melton on Saturday afternoon, excellent work winning 34 - 21 and bringing the club to the top of the table. More details to follow regarding the match and scorers.
The Ladies travelled to Birmingham for their first XV a side match and put in a commendable perfomance, scoring 2 tries in a 39 - 10 defeat. To conceede only 39 points is considerably better than the men in their first perfomances last season and bodes well for the continued development of Norwich Medics Ladies Rugby. Well done Girls! More fixtures will hopefully be announced soon and the new kit is on order.

Particular mention goes to Paul Ferris, playing hooker for the first time in a
while and not starting any major fights, and Martin Falkingham (for he is a Legend)

organised by the Medics Footballers and they have set the fee at £12. If there is
insufficient interest we will have to consider cancelling the fixture and if that
is the case it is only polite to do so sooner rather than later – your quick
response is appreciated.

years subs, leaving the club £££ short - rascals. Please contact our jolly money-handler
Jamie a.s.a.f.p. to discuss payment. We are not naming & shaming on this occasion –
as the author of this fine document is one of the aforementioned scally-wags.

Borat – the 1st NMRFC cinema trip was a success. We filled an entire row at
'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'.
Following the trip it was confirmed by the National Geologic Survey that our chairman's
laughs were recorded a 1.2 on the Richter scale, a feat only previously equalled by
Brain Blessed.
Minutes– the minutes from last weeks committee meeting are posted on the forum under the
'Committee Minutes & questions' thread. They contain information regarding next February's
eagerly anticipated elections.
NMRFC End of season dinner – will be held in April 2007. Further details are to be confirmed
as and when the (all-seeing visionary that is our) Chairman pulls his finger out, but keep it in
mind. Last year's event was successful and enjoyable. With the increased membership this
year we hope to have a 'traditional rugby club dinner' with fun and frolics aplenty.
A note from the socials bint –
The 'medics sports dinner' will be held on Saturday 3rd March (after Diss IV match). This bash is organised by our good friends in the medics kissball team. There will be 3 course meal, disco, entertainment, guest speaker (a 'sleb' of some sort) & unofficial NMRFC awards – the main ones will be presented at the End of Season Dinner. If you are interested please reply so we can let the kissballers know whether to count us in or not. Some of us went last year.
A note from our inspiring captain Martin Falkingham (he may have been at the Kia-Ora when he sent this - to many E-numbers...) - Martin is awesome. Koala is gay! (with Duncan). Beer session at Suffolk terrace on wednesday night - ring Tom or Duncan. PS - Koala is gay!
What do I need to do now? E-mail us soon if you want to play at Leicester. E-mail us if you are interested in the 'medics sports dinner' being organised by the kissballers. Turn up to training this week. Ring Tom or Duncan if you want to get smashed in Suffolk terrace tonight.
That is all,
Alex

Southwold 3, Norwich Medics 28
A good result down by the seaside, which will boost confidence going into the top of the table match against Broadland next Saturday.
Scores (if I recalll correctly) were from Duncan, Hulk, Porno Pete..... probably some others, but I've forgotten who and wasn't there to get an up to date report. I'll amend it later when I find out.

Newsletter - 1st November 2006
Dear all,
Welcome to the new format of NMRFC e-mails. To prevent you recieving multiple e-mails from ourselves daily we will now be sending all relevant items in one easily digested 'newsletter'.
Training this week - at the usual time of 8pm at Crus. If you require a lift or can give one please meet at MED at 7.30pm.
This weeks fixtures -
Mens - Saturday 4th. Southwold II XV Away. Merit league. KO 2.30pm. Cars leaving from MED 1215 promptly. The Match aftermath - to be decided on the day but Martin has suggested the Earlham park fireworks & funfair might be a good idea - thoughts? Clothing after the match - shirt & club tie. Cost - the club wallet holder says £3 assuming 17-18 players go - this may therefore change if less or more people go.
Ladies - Saturday 4th. UEA Womens 2nd XV at Colney lane. KO ~2pm. Meet 12.30. Referee to be announced.
A note from the socials bint -
Boys & Girls,
The Annual Medics Sports Dinner his year is being held on Saturday 3rd of March at Dunston Hall. I am in discussion with the football & netball committees, and want to gauge a rough idea of how many people would be interested. Thus far, it is a charity event with a 3 course dinner, silverware from the club (main awards at seperate end of season dinner), dj, dancers, guest speaker etc, at an approx cost of 30 notes. There are up to 250 seats available for all clubs. Obviously WAGs (& boyfriends & husbands) all welcome.
Please reply & disclose whether you are interested or not.
Merit league position - the table can be found on www.norfolkrfu.com/merit3_fixtures.asp . this hasn't been updated since we played Norwich.
Borat cinema social - Tuesday evening. Norwich Odeon. 7.15pm showing - NB this has been changed from the original time of 8.30pm so that people can go to the MedSoc 'Boobs & Balls' party afterwards if they want.
Some piccies from the Halloween social are attached.
See you all tomorrow at training.
Alex
