Call to Action for Suttonians Match

So here we are. A third of the way through the league. Hopes, dreams, aspirations all on the line this coming Saturday. “My momma told me, there’d be days like this”. 1st v joint 2nd - season defining match for Bective. Bring. It. On.

Luck with injuries is always important - with Scottie Barron, Ger Warde & Mattie Keane all returning to our pack against Mallow last week it looks like the injury Gods are finally with us (big change from last season where our squad was decimated). Looks like we’ll be fielding from a full squad on Saturday against Suttonians with our strongest bench possible also contributing - a strong bench making a difference could be defining. We need that and the timing couldn’t be better. So the playing squad should be at full strength - what about the supporting squad? This is where you and I come in.

It cannot be stressed enough how important a contributing factor your attendance will be on Saturday. If you can only get to one match this season, please make it to this one. Top of the table, unbeaten free flowing scoring lots of tries Suttonians against joint second placed, full squad available and in a nice run of form and momentum Bective Rangers. You couldn’t script it better.

So, in the words of the great Ciarán Fitzgerald - “where’s your ‘effin pride?” If you have any pride at all in Bective Rangers then please move heaven and earth to make it your only priority but to be in Donnybrook on Saturday at 14.30 (or beforehand to attend the pre-match lunch). Our supporters, or lack thereof, could very well be game defining. We NEED you to turn up in huge numbers, be VERY vocal. Let’s form our tunnel of supporters at the corner gate and roar our gladiators onto the battlefield on match day - how emotionally uplifting would that be to the squad as they head onto the pitch?

Please turn up and contribute. And bring a friend, any friend. Bring partners and kids. Uncles, Aunts, Nephews and Nieces. Neighbours, work colleagues even. We need bodies. If each attending Ranger brought just one extra person with them on Saturday then we double our attendance. Let that sink in. That’s going to be your contribution. You have the ability to double our attendance - it’s that simple.

Best wishes to Tiernan and his squad. He knows we’re all behind them. Let’s show him exactly how. Hon the Rangers.
