18/12/05 - Disbelief at
Leith! -
Broughton continued their downward spiral into the bottom
half of the league after a 17-6 defeat at the hands of local rivals
Leith on Saturday. Despite taking an early 6-0 courtesy of Myles O'Hagan's
boot, Broughton conspired to lose 17 unanswered points to lose a game in
sub-zero conditions.
Due to reporting restrictions (lost my notes!), there is
no match report.
12/11/05 - Kinross 21 - 15 Broughton -
Broughton snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on
Saturday as they failed to hold onto their lead as the game headed into
injury time under the lights at Kinross.
It was a bitter blow to the Broughton side who had
dominated most of the play, with the forwards once again making good use
of the rolling maul.
We came away with a bonus point, but you have really got
to say that it was 4 points lost. 2 tries from debutant Struan
Smith and another from club stalwart Andy Turtle looked to have secured a
win until the late horror show!

13/11/05 - Lenzie take gloss
off Matt's first try for Broughton
 Broughton
will have to do a bit of soul searching at training this week after a
bitterly disappointing 20-53 loss at home to Lenzie.
Despite a car load of Lenzie players only
arriving some 15 minutes prior to kick off and an early try for Broughton by
Targowski, it was a No.10 inspired performance which won the game for Lenzie,
who leapfrogged Broughton in the League table.
President Gerry Love commented that the game
"was lost due to lack of first time tackles being made", with Vice-President
Mark Brown echoing those words by adding that "it was bad day at the office
for all, we just didn't compete after taking the early lead".
Next week we face St.Boswells at home.
The Borders side have been on the receiving end of some heavy defeats this
season, but they wont be taken lightly. A win is vital as is your
support.

Emergency Ward's boot heals Broughton -
Stand-In
Stand-Off Mark Ward kicked Broughton to a much needed victory away to
Cumnock on Saturday.
Broughton made heavy weather of it in foul conditions at
Broomfield and were happy to come away with the points in a 14-10 win. Match report here
No league positions changed this weekend as the results
all went to plan. Waysiders beat Kinross 15-10, League leaders
Dumfries destroyed Forrester 60-3 as they march towards the title and
Madras made it back to back wins over Edinburgh sides with a convincing
37-7 win at home against Leith. For St. Boswells it was business
as usual with a 121-0 defeat away to Lenzie.
23/10/05 -
Madras too hot for Broughton -
Broughton's emphatic
start to the season seems a distant memory as they lost their 4th
consecutive league fixture at a cold & wet Wardie on Saturday.
New boy Matt
Targowski started his first game for Broughton on the wing as the Wardie
outfit looked to bounce back from a string of defeats which has seen
them drop out of the top four automatic promotion places.
A fairly decent sized
crowd (i.e. greater than the sum total of the substitutes!) watched an
entertaining match, made more exciting by a pre-Xmas flurry of cards by
Referee Andy Waite in the second half. Match report here
16/10/05 -
Dumped in Dumfries -
Broughton's pack were collectively awarded the
Visitor's Man of the Match prize for their hard work in a 29-07 defeat away
to Dumfries.
The result may be slightly flattering of the
hosts who were handed a boost when Payne left the field midway through the
1st half with a recurrence of his sternum injury.
The Broughton squad, thrown together on Friday
evening by Sid, Bubba and your tirelessly working webmaster, will feature
heavily in a reconstruction of M.A.S.H. in the physio room on Thursday!

04/09/05
- Broughton kicked off their Division 4 Campaign in style with an
emphatic 17 try victory away to St. Boswells.
No
fewer than 11 different Broughton players crossed the home try line in
what was a near perfect display in weather, more accustomed to St. Kitts
than St. Boswells, for free flowing rugby.
The
pick of the tries came in the 36th minute after Sean Smith collected the
ball in his own 22 from a restart. The ball was quickly
distributed out to Chris Mowbray on the wing who run a full 50 metres
and with one defender to beat, he unselfishly popped a pass to newly
appointed Captain, Mike MacLennan to score the 2nd of his hat-trick
haul.
2nd
row Adam McFarlane, who gained Scotland A Rugby League International
honours in the summer, also grabbed a hat-trick and they were joined on
the board by Maddison, Stewart & Beaton who each gabbed braces.
There were single scores apiece for Payne, Wells, Pyper, Else, Hart &
Mowbray. Maddocks converted 8 kicks, whilst Payne & Else got in on
the act with 1 each.
02/09/05 -
'Mad' Mike MacLennan has been voted as Club
Captain ahead of the opening clash of the season against St.Boswells.
Aussie Gareth Payne, who turned down a summer
move to Ulster, earned the Vice-Captain vote of the players.
"It's an honour for Gareth and I to lead the
team this season, especially after such a terrific one last year with Melvin
at the helm." Said Mike after receiving the accolade. "This year we need
again to focus on the mantra - 'that what we put in, will determine what we
take out'. We have the ability to do very well in our new league, so we must
strive to maximise our potential at all times - both on and off the field -
and it's a pleasure to hear Johnny's already got the ball rolling, with our
Club Curry Night next weekend!"
27/08/05 - Broughton 15 - 7 Oban Lorne
-
A Broughton side, thrown together at the last minute with
some bizarre positional requests being made, took on an Oban side in the
final warm up before next week's Division 4 opener away at St.Boswells.
Devoid of powerhouse Dunc the Destroyer and Scotland Rugby
League Internationalist Adam McFarlane, one wondered if the sizeable Oban
pack was going to win the game for the tourists. It wasn't to be as
the Broughton forwards, including debutant Lloyd Baxter, held their own and
won the battle of the bulge!
Gareth Payne, our resident Hoffmeister, slotted a penalty
kick early in the 1st half to open the scoring. Broughton tries came from Andy Turtle, after fine work from
Grant Wilson who steamrollered a ruck fringer almost across the dead ball
area and from Melvin 'I thought it was a 3pm kick-off?' Hart who's fine
angled running allowed him to go in under the posts unchallenged.
Chris Mowbray added the conversion.
24/04/05 - Bibby Factors
Scotland Broughton 7's - Nottingham University have
won the 2005 Bibby Factors Scotland Broughton 7's. On their way to picking
up the trophy, they scored a mammoth 179 points in their 4 matches, including a
70-0 whitewash of the hosts in the Final.
Walkerburn were the
bridesmaids for a second year running in the Plate Final, this time losing out
to a Currie/Lasswade Select 45-14.
A big mention to Berwick who
brought a bus up with 2 teams for their 2/3rd XV 'Badger's Outing'. It was
apparent from early on that their intentions of reaching the bar first was their
goal and they achieved it in style. Well done guys!
11/04/05 -
An under strength and decidedly hungover Broughton Barbarians side lost 73-0 to the Swedish National
Team at Wardie on Sunday. Missing most of the back division that
defeated Lasswade, Broughton simply couldn't keep up with the pace of
the Swedes who defeated Haddington 53-22 the previous day. A
return match in Stockholm is on the cards for next April.....watch this
website for details!
10/04/05 -
Broughton won the National League
Division 5 (East) title in the dying minutes on Saturday thanks to a
bonus point 31-12 win over Lasswade.
The five try victory for the Wardie men means that they pipped Penicuik
to top the table and progress to National League Division Four.
Broughton President Gerry Love
(pictured) saw his charges pick up silverware for the 1st time in 23
years and it was worth waiting every minute for!

- Broughton's
Paul Hamer was the toast of Wardie after a dramatic try in injury time
gave the home side a 19-18 win over National 3 outfit Lismore on
Saturday.
Broughton seemed to have snatched defeat
from the jaws of victory midway through the 2nd half, but it was the
Aussie Hamer who battered his way through the opponents defence to put
the Club into this week's Semi-Final draw. Read your webmaster's

Hart-trick pulls victory out of the bag.
Broughton
kept the pressure on Penicuik with a hard fought, if at times
unconvincing, win away at Dalkeith by 39-10 on Saturday.
Captain
Melvin Hart lead by example notching a hat-trick of tries, however, this
was not enough to prevent 'Mad' Mike MacLennan from winning the coveted
Man of the Match award.
Joining Melvin on the try scoring charts this week were Dan Arrandale,
Hamish Martineau and Duncan Nicolson all with 1 try each.
A 50%
conversation rate from Hamer, combined with a exquisite 47 metre penalty
kick from a tight angle in the 2nd half ensured the visitors left Kings
Park with a win.
29/01/05 - Keeping the dream alive... -
