Are You A Gradute From The School Of Hard Props?

This design is basically a take on the famous phrase School Of Hard Knocks and if you've never heard that phrase before it's usually used to describe a person that looks like he/she had a very hard paper round when they were younger....and if you don't know what that means then there really is no hope for you.

We digress, anyway we came up with this design in tribute to those amatuer rugby players who, although lack cool sounding names and the natural athleticism of the likes of Joe Rokocoko or Bryan Habana, put their bodies on the line every Saturday or Sunday. They do so for two reasons, the love of the game and the fact they have a very strong sadomasochistic streak. Let's face it rugby is one of the last true Gladitorial sports left and it's played by sportsmen and women who have graduated from the School Of Hard Props.

One Dirty Weekend

A big thanks to Grant, Dougie, Kyle, Slammer, Leddy, Yorgi and Thomas who kindly offered their services last weekend to take part in the annual Swamp Soccer tournament, held in Argyll, Scotland. We lost both games but took three points in our final match by default, (the other team failed to show...we would've had them anyway). For those of you unfamiliar with the event it involves a pitch of knee deep mud and six players on each side trying to score more goals than the other team, it's outrageously messy and extremely tiring. Check out the main website HERE for details of next year's event which will be the World Championships. Better start our pre-season training now then. Our team, (in fact only half of our team) is pictured at the bottom of this newspaper article along with players from Team Cafe Bar Koodi, all the way from Finland, who had the good grace and manners to beat us 3-1.

Need Your Help With Sports Tees

We are massive fans of sport here at the S.D.F.C so as a result we've decided to design and print a batch of t-shirts exclusively based upon the subject. But we need your help in one particular category - Soccer.

We have the initial design for these tees in place but we need suggestions, for example we want to know what your favourite soccer squad of all time is and why? You need to state the club, the year and obviously the reason why you've made your choice, (eg, Brazil World Cup Squad 1970). Who knows we might run with your suggestion and come up with a tee just for your wearing pleasure. Email your entries to info@bonaroo.co.uk
