Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.

It seems a few people were confused about which styles are available at the moment so i've just made a visual reference for you guys. (These are the shorter cuts. There is a separate image for the longer cuts)
Long styles:
Asleep: Short cut with two long loose tails that you can braid, twist (like I do in most of the images) turn into buns, tie etc.
Sooki: Similar to Asleep but only the one side so its like a side ponytail
Celeste: A bob cut with two longer tails that are positioned lower and further to the back.
Long: Standard long cut can be ordered with or without sweepy side bangs (no blunt cut bangs right now)
Lionhead: A mix of sweepback and a long cut
Sweepback: Hairline that sweeps back that can be clipped, tied up or left loose.
Short Styles:
These are more expensive than the long styles as they have to be very full to get good styling flexibility.
Roscoe: Asymmetrical style with no parting visible from the front. Can be ordered with or without the braid.
Asymmetrical: Asymmetrical cut with a fixed parting.
Short: Standard short cut.
Taco: Similar to the short cut but has longer layers and can be styled in a way where the hair layers hug the face more.
A couple of people asked if the base colours can be ordered and the answer is Yes! But only for honey right now. I have added a honey only option to the store just now c:
Spotted this at Uniqlo recently. They have a new line of women undergarments that also provides support and enhances one’s body lines. There’s currently only 1 type of camisole, but there are 2 versions for their shorts.

Vor ein paar Jahren wurden Rollkragenpullover zu einer Art Mode No-No, aber sie machen langsam ein Comeback und nehmen die Modewelt wieder im Sturm, besonders in diesem Jahr. Wenn du deine alten Rollkragen immer noch irgendwo hinten im Kleiderschrank verstaut hast, gibt es keinen besseren...

Saltsjöbaden, Sweden. This is one of the boats built by a teenaged Swede as part of an organization in Stockholm that fosters teenagers in building sailboats. They spend from 1000 to 2000 hours building their boats.
The leader of the organization has an old Swedish Navy boat that he's turned into a giant workshop. The students come in on weekends and holidays to work on their boats.
This boat is just about ready for it's maiden voyage. The mast and other accessories will be added.
All the students are readying their boat for a three week voyage in the Stockholm archipelago. Fanastic!
A group of adults will be accompanying them in motor boats filled with supplies.
BTW, the students build everything. They even make any metal parts needed. They cut and stitch the sail. They do not make the ropes. The plans are provided by the coach so they don't design it either. However, they may finish it anyway they please so you'll see classic wood grain to artistic paint jobs.
