Heaven’s Side

While the CSOBs offer the continuation of the the comraderie of the community, enjoyment of playing, and reliving our greatest moments, it is also a place to remember those that we have lost.

Let’s sit back and take some time to remember those who are no longer with us and who left us much earlier than they should have.

THE RUGBY PLAYER’S LAST TRY

The rugby ball inside the coffin
Rather gave the game away
As a diehard rugby warrior
Determined to play on in future days

Believing there was more than one H in heaven
At the ends of astral turf grounds
And that the rugby universe cup
Was still in its early rounds

After a lifetime that had seemed eighty minutes
With a body clock now in the red
The gladiator scored his last mortal try
Touching his head down on mother earth’s bed
