Details - 2005

2005 saw the first season of structured league competition. Five teams were entered, with three coming from Dyson, one from Malmesbury Rugby Club and Team of talented local school boys. 

The three Dyson teams were Lemon's Melons (captained by Graham Lemon), Young Blood (captained by Rob Gow) and Team Aled (captained by Aled James).  The team captains decided to distribute Dyson playing resources across each team evenly and this resulted not only in some strong competition but also each team including ladies in their player base.

The Taffy Apples were entered by Huw Jones and their number was originally to be drawn from Malmesbury Rugby Club.  However due to terminal apathy from some rugby players further recruitment was successfully carried out in areas as diverse as the National Childbirth Trust and Malmesbury School.  Although Huw entered the team he rarely played.  Deciding instead to referee games rather play in them.

The Untouchables were entered by Miles Cavendish (one of the touch pioneers from 2004) and made up entirely of pupils from Malmesbury School.  Their flair, speed and all round rugby ability were an asset to the competition and they conducted themselves in an exemplary fashion.

The final team, Last Orders was a team put in place with no captain or players.  Instead it was used as a vehicle for players wishing to play but who couldn't make their team's earlier games due to work or family commitment.  It was also used by players who wanted to have another run around.  Last Orders always played in the final slot and always played attacking touch rugby.
