UYRUFC ban alcohol for rest of season

By Jack Bradshaw

8451610956_bded68491f_c[1]The University of York Rugby Club has banned all first team players from drinking alcohol for the remainder of the season. The decision was sent out in an email by Hugh Draycott to every member of the club.

The email said: “For the 1st XV there is a complete booze ban until all remaining fixtures have been completed. For the rest of the club, socials will be an alcohol free zone.

“As a club we have put ourselves in the best position possible to fulfilling our goals set out at the start of the season. All of us have invested a huge amount towards this possible success and so it will take complete club unity over the next 2 weeks in order to carry ourselves over the finish line. There is no room for those aptly described as “leeches”.

“This message is applicable to all areas; from training attendance and intensity to your spare time recovery. I fully expect every member of this club to respect this decision.”

Last night, UYRUFC were treated to a coaching session from former England internationals Will Greenwood and Austin Healey, after winning a competition run by AEG.

The email added: “You only had to listen what Will and Austin was saying at the Q&A to realise the importance of recognising the reasons for this decision and carrying it out with 100% commitment.”

UYRUFC first team have had an excellent season to date and sit five points clear of Liverpool at the top of the BUCS Northern 1A league table.

While the third team are mid-table, the seconds are currently fighting for survival at the bottom of the Northern 2B division.

  1. Great to see the rugby club acting so professionally, class act. I can’t see too many other uni rugby teams putting in this kind of commitment!

  4. These cretinous imbeciles won’t be going out of their way to ruin everyones Wednesdays in Vudu and Ziggys for 2 weeks?!
    Wonderful!

  5. Congrats to UYRC for abolishing what has to be a sad tradition of rugby members isolating themselves from the rest of the university’s other clubs and societies. Apart from the obvious loosely moralled women in the netball club.
    I for one find alcohol only to be the route of all evil. As our Finnish Father God “Ukko” teaches us, death will reign upon those who seek clarity in the darkest of places. Which loosely translates to: People shouldn’t drink alcohol, especially “lads” on “protein supplements”.
    HAIL UKKO!

  6. Fossy boi, someone sounds jealous of all the SHAGGING the rugby lads do! 4 beers an hour and 3 shags a week, woof.

  7. I didn’t come here for the article, I came here because number 6 has a nice bum :)number 6 I would be more than happy to distract you from alcohol.

  9. A. Fro, maybe you should take me up on the offer then :P You’re more than welcome to come and see my downward dog in Yoga ;)

  11. Phwoar. In my day we’d chug beers before, during and after the game, still win and be out sniffing turkeys in ziggys. Bring back tone! Woof. Neeeaaaaooowww.

  12. B,

    I’ve told you many times before, do not be jealous and vindictive against men who are clearly far superior to that of yourself. I have brought you up better than that and you should know that a touch of the green eyed monster will be your downfall. The fact you were born a malnourished, under-formed baby, does not mean you can take it out on the big physical specimens found in the Mens Rugby Club whom are just trying to do a duty to the University which educates them.

    Consider this a warning, next time you will be grounded and forced to eat protein… hopefully that will thicken those chicken arms of yours.

    Mummy.

    I hope that wasn’t anyone from the club because that was really smelly.

  14. Mother,
    You can establish that I was born a “malnourished, under-formed baby” from a simple statement asserting what total morons you are? Clearly the university is failing in its duty to educate you, as you are in yours to represent it.
    I’d also assert that my left tricep is probably larger than the grey matter alleged to exist between those delightful cauliflower ears of yours. Perhaps I could return the favour to you with some Omega 3 supplements to go along with the testicle-shrinking anabols you so lovingly enjoy injecting into each other in your group showers.

    Your beloved son.

  16. The awkward moment when Broseidon realises that most of the rugby team are doing better than he is in his degree…
