<bio>Runners-up in the first blackout cup, the bogwarriors enjoy crushing opponents, drinking porter and showing off their tractors. On the pitch, they tend to rely on a strong lineout, and classic ten man rugby.</bio>

<bio>'Everyone likes a Tryer' have topped their group two years in a row but are still trying to make a final - the propensity for low intensity cup matches clearly going against them, but as ever they keep trying year on year! Like everything in life the tryers keep on trying til the final whistle, often sealing victory at the end of the game or pulling clear for bonus point! They try to play a wide thrilling game with mobile forwards, but are not afraid to get down and dirty to win a game! The tryers take pride in a young talented backline who continually improve. </bio>

<bio>Only 2nd season on Blackout, still finding feet but feel like I am ready to push on in season 8..Really looking to get a lot of WNWIM out of this tournament. Have a tendancy to fail to convert possession/territory ala Italy but its not an insurmountable hurdle me thinks! </bio>

<bio>Finished second in Div IV.24 last year after only a couple of weeks in charge.
Have since built up a team that reached the seventh round of the cup, then decided to sell all my players and try build a team for the future by gaining financially. New interest rates have put back my plans by at least a season and the clubs future is in limbo right now. Will I continue on for the next possibly 3 seasons with a highest 3rd place finish in Div IV or will I once again start team building and get promoted the hard way?</bio>

<bio>Third season in the Boards cup. Reasonably competitive so far but never going close to winning it. WNWIM merchant. Gaining promotion to DIV2 is the priority this season but maybe with a couple of good acquisitions a big push in Boards Cup might be on!</bio>

<bio>The Rebels have done decent enough the last few Boards cups getting to the playsoff each time. First I topped my group too only to be owned in the playoffs. This time had to play WNWIM for my playoff match and sadly lost. Hopefully have a good lash off it in the next one.</bio>

<bio>Ah where do i start with regaling about the eventful history of The Gnomes?!Season 1 and 2 we devoured all that was put infront of us, basing our game on scintilating, running rugby. However, this our 3rd season has been a real eye opener. We languish in the bottom half of Div III.1, with relegation a real possibility. Nevertheless the Gnomey dastards(as i think frankiestylee referred to us as) are still capable of an upset and possess the players to win the big matches. A couple of good signings should see us up there swingin with the big dicks!!</bio>

<bio>In their 3rd season of blackout rugby Grubber RFC hope to make a big impression in their boards.ie cup debut after maintaining Div. III status in their second season. It will be tough but the boys are confident of mixing it with the best boards has to offer.* *said confidence may be alcohol induced and as such is not representative of a sober state of mind*</bio>

<bio>Oddly enough the chaps managed to win the Nearly There Cup last season, despite facing a possibly impossible (yet possible) battle to avoid relegation from Div III.3 and a Cup run that lasted til the 7th round . Lacking the big gun players of other teams, the Death Squad have been known to claim some premier scalps by surprise and witty post try dance routines. </bio>

This season has seen a complete rebuild of the squad with many youngsters being brought in to learn from the great depth of experience already at the club. The Academicals are looking to the future with much excitement and some skid marks when they see the talent in Div III.</bio>
