Mark & Donna's Wedding 27 February 2010 Is Mark about to make his first tackle of the season? Doesn't he look smart in his kilt. The Kings Cross Steelers have just made a transfer bid for him you know.
Lovely
Former SODAM player Martin Timms obviously having fun at Cardiff Arms Autmn 2009
A Celebration of Life Party 7 November 09 at the Geoge in honour of former player Dave Lawrence who died prematurely of Prostate Cancer this year.
Ian, Robin, Ian, Chris, Gary, Deano and Slaps. What the hell are you doing Mooresy and Robin you cn not play piano on my head mate.
Ian, Chris, Ian, Robin & former captain Gary Winnie Winstanley having fun. Was that the Hi ho Silver.....
Is Daves daughter Ayla really going to punch Slaps. Must have deserved it.Slaps says he's not worried about the punch it's the glass that frightens him.
Well something must have ticked Ian, Ayla and Slaps
Winnie & Deano - it's not the flash guys your eyes really were red.
The official SODAM badge was designed by Ian Wells. The reason behind Dennis The Menace was that the original Science Museum kit was Black & Red Hoops. As Ian had lost the original artwork it was redrawn in 2007 by Chris' friend Nick Mayes
Anyone might think the SODAM lads had won the cup. Ian, Gary, Robin & Chris watched carefully by the security guards get as close as they ever will do to touching the World Cup.
Probably the last time we took TWO WHOLE teams to Farnborough. Where are they all now? some damn good players on display here.
James Keary at Scrum Half v Farnborough
As it was the "Naughty Boys Outing" there was detention. Paul Derrett & Nick Rogers were Head Boy & Prefect, Chris Moore (centre) Paul Mordaunt (right) not sure who is on the left, can anyone advise?
Paddy Stock and Martin Timms take their medicine.

Game Over - Ian Wells (capt) leads the hand shakes after the match followed off by Martin Timms & Jigger
Open Play: Roobz and Bunny make the tackle as Ian waits for loose ball with Bob in close attendance and Deano looking decidely uninterested.
The Scrum: Where the big boys hang out.
The Lineout: Goldie lifted by Ian and Jim competes for the ball while Martin goes up just for the hell of it. We seem to have lost Paddy and Roobz. Both out with the girlies but we did have 6 locks on this particular day.
Roobz discovering playing out with the girlies isn't necessarily as easy as all that as he gets stretchered off.

John Sykes ball thank you very much. Serena would be proud of you mate........
Uncontested scrums - don't you just hate them. Easy ball for Ash though.......
Raphael sizing up his man. Except he seems to be going the wrong way?
Er who exactly has got the ball now? N.B with Pete Nolan & Simon Daveport on the charge, the ball I'm affraid to say it's probably 25 yards away!!
Where's the ball
That wasn't straight...... Never
Pete, you don't look too focussed on the game there. What or who was so interesting on the touchline?

Ian with former SODAM players Louis and Tjaart slightly the worse for wear in Pretoria September 2005.
When Joe Townsend plays you can expect an injury or two. This was his latest a dislocated finger in March 08. I must find the x-ray of Jims broken leg which he ran the marathon on.
Dan you sent it so....... Here is former star player Dan Richardson pulling off some interesting moves in his new homeland in Thailand. Good to see the SODAM shirt travelling the world.
This is our new front row forward
