In the centuries that followed the Roman Empire, there existed rough and ready, rowdy informal ball-games of little importance and with virtually no organization, but they never died out, and with the eventual decline of blood sports, their moment had arrived. used an ovoid ball; its shape reflecting the early use of inflated bladders, while the other two (Association Football and Gaelic Football) employed a spherical ball. Six of the seven variants followed the original Rugby style in allowing the ball to be handled. Only one rejected this: Association Football, and it is this form, the soccer game, that has come to dominate the world. Clearly, soccer has special qualities that the other variants lack.

The Rectory The Sporting Blues About the Club The idea of a Devonport Services rugby club where both "lower deck ratings" as the local paper put it, and officers should play in the same team was proposed in 1912 by Flag Captain A.L Kay, sadly he did not live to see the full fruition of his venture, losing his life when HMS Indomitable sank in World War I. Prior to that only officers played for the club. The nickname "The Sporting Blues" was given to the club by a sports writer for the South Wales Post in 1911 when they made their 1st trip to Wales to fulfil a fixture lost by Plymouth rugby club when it folded up. They played out of the Royal Naval Engineering college ground at Keyham, Plymouth. The club still uses the ground as a second pitch. It is one of the best in the county complete with its bijou clubhouse. Their first big test was a game against United Services Porstmouth, U.S Portsmouth was an officers club, and they were not very happy with the experiment of playing 'mixed games' (officers and men). Nonetheless they expected to give Devonport a hammering. Devonport went up to Portsmouth for the game and returned having won 15 ~ 3.

Super Powers CUP Launced Pieter writes "The International Rugby Board Super Powers Cup was launched in Dublin on Monday with the aim of bringing some of the world's second-tier rugby nations to the fore with increased competition. Comprising Russia, China, Japan and the USA, the Super Powers Cup will begin in April 2003 with the final match of the home-or-away series being played when USA travel to China. The four countries have a long history of rivalry both on and off the sporting field, but never before has it extended at any major level in rugby. The date for the opening match between USA and Russia is yet to be confirmed but could well double as a World Cup Qualifying fixture if Russia win their new year repechage series against Tunisia.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee was formerly called the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association The Working Committee was first established in 1946, when it was felt that Trinidad and Tobago, a British Colony at the time, should take part in the quadrennial Olympic Games. This original Committee made up of four member-federations (Athletics, Cycling, Football and Weightlifting) was extended provisional recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 1946, thus Trinidad and Tobago was able to send a Team to the Central American and Caribbean Games held in Barranquilla, Colombia. Formal affiliation to the International Olympic Committee was granted to the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association at the International Olympic Committee session held in London (1948) on the occasion of the celebration of the 15th Olympic Games. From four affiliates in the year 1948 the number of affiliated National Bodies now number eighteen and govern the sports of Athletics, Rugby, Badminton, Basketball, Bobsleigh Boxing, Cycling, Football, Men and Women's Hockey, Judo, Lawn Tennis, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Volley Ball and Yachting. The General Council of the Committee is composed of one delegate per affiliate, except at the Annual General Meeting, when each affiliate is allowed two delegates.

It has been laboriously typed in by me, for the benefit of all, (kindly send donations to the address below). [irrelevant comments deleted] OLYMPIC RUGBY Introduced by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (who refereed the first ever French championship final), rugby was on the Olympic program at Paris in 1900, at London in 1908, Antwerp in 1920, and Paris again in 1924. In 1928 the I.O.C. turned down the request to stage rugby at the Amsterdam games. Three factors were believed to be behind this: the IOC wanted more emphasis on individual sports; women's athletics had swollen the number of competitors; and the sport did not receive the backing that it should have from the British entries. Both the Soviet Union in 1980 and South Korea in 1988 made attempts to have rugby readmitted, and it should be pointed out that South Korea came desparately close to achieving their aim.

Proposals for rugby's inclusion in the 2008 Olympics have been presented to the IOC and four of the five cities vying to host the games, said Vernon Pugh, chairman of the International Rugby Board. "We are doing our very best to get rugby back into the Olympics," Pugh said at a news conference. "The reception that we received was judged to be extremely successful with high levels of interest being expressed by the IOC members present." Rugby last appeared as an Olympic sport in the 1924 Games in Paris, when the United States beat favorites France in the finals. The upset was marred by fights in the stands and a chorus of boos drowning out the Star Spangled Banner as the winners received their gold medals.

By 1870, the London Swimming Association made a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools. The sport was primarily played in rivers and lakes and was in stark contrast from today's game. Water polo was more rough than rugby and players often came to the water's surface almost unconscious from long wrestling bouts underwater. It was so brutal that many colleges in the U.S. banned water polo from its campuses. When rule changes were introduced in Scotland in the 1880s, the modern game came to be, focusing more on skill than strength. As a result, the sport became more popular as it spread throughout Europe and Britain.

Front Page UK World Business ... Site Map Thursday, February 12, 1998 Published at 02:17 GMT Sport: Winter Olympics 98: Cross Country Skiing Norwegian makes Winter Olympic history Bjorn Dahlie on his way to make Winter Olympic history Bjorn Daehlie became the first man ever to win six gold medals at the Winter Olympics when he won the 10-kilometer cross-country race. The Norwegian's triumph adds to the three golds he won at Albertville in 1992 and the two he collected at Lillehammer four years ago. Skiing in steady rain at the Snow Harp course, Daehlie crossed the finish line in 27 minutes 24.5 seconds while Austria's Markus Gandler, eight seconds slower, won the silver. Finland's Mika Myllylae, winner of the 30K race on Monday, collected the bronze in 27:40.1. Daehlie had a disaster in the 30k race on Monday, finishing in 20th after putting the wrong wax on his skis. However he got it right this time and led from the start. By the first checkpoint at 1.8 kilometers he was 6.3 seconds faster than the closest challenger in the 97-strong field and he never let that lead slip. In a fine show of sportsmanship, Daehlie postponed his celebrations until Philip Boit, the only Kenyan at the games, finished the course.

Comparisons with football and rugby do little http://www.times-olympics.co.uk/communities/waterpolo/waterpoloancient.html

ANCIENT ORIGINS WOMEN DARE TO TREAD WATER IN A MAN'S WORLD Water-polo players are some of the biggest, meanest and most muscle-bound athletes at the Games - and that's just the women. The fairer sex, though the term is indeed debatable in the tough world of water polo, make their Olympic debut in Sydney, with six teams competing for glory, as opposed to 12 teams among men. Scotland introduced rules in the late 19th century that marked the start of the modern game, which quickly spread throughout the British Empire and continental Europe. By the turn of the century it had become popular in the United States and joined the Olympic family of sports at Paris in 1900.

State of Origin - Rugby League Origin 1986 - 1991 The 1986 series saw three close games - but NSW won the lot to continue their hold on Origin with Parramatta's Brett Kenny and Peter Sterling leading the way. Epic encounters between the states were by now almost the norm. In 1986 the Maroons edged NSW by 2-1 in three evenly contested matches. A "4th" game was played in 1987 when the ARL took the showpiece to the USA. By 1988 Allan Langer was combining with Lewis to produce a formidable partnership and in 1988 through to 1989 the Blues failed to win a game and on occassion were even thrashed. In 1990 Ricky Stuart and Benny Elias took the Blues back to the top with two wins in the opening games. The 2nd match was played at Melbourne's Olympic Park in front of a ground record crowd (25,800). 1991 saw Wally Lewis back in control for the opening match as Queensland won by 6-4. The Origin matches had become much more physical than the open play seen in earlier series. The return match in Sydney went to NSW after a goal kick by Michael O'Connor gave them a 14-12 win. The 3rd match - of one of the best series ever - produced the same score, but this time it was in the Maroons favour and they took the Origin Shield once again.
