Also the USUK was supposed to be a play on words "You Suck". After Happy left the team we decided to rename, because we thought it was crap to be honest. Buddiemad came up with Vitruvians, as we were all men and Vitruvian Man is the perfect man. We now have three women on our team, and they are perfect too.
I do believe we were in right from the very beginning, but could be wrong there. We took quite a while to win our first brl title as we struggled to get full a full team out every week, however we managed to recruit some regular players to the team and eventually won our first title. We managed to retain the title the following month.
We now have four brl titles and were voted the brl team of 2008. We respect the other teams because we know how hard it is to consistantly turn out 8 players, and we know how tough it is to win the brl. We will be around for a long time yet.
Great stuff Gary. I remember you changed your name to Virtruvians but I had forgotten it was from USUK. I'll update thye Index etc. to reflect that.

Leather & Lace our history boring compared to the vits.........
We started our as Ladies of wass but we became short of players as some of the ladies that were giving up brl but all except 2 went to play for other teams this is when I took over the team and ike was starting a team called lemons but also could not get a full team so we decided to combine the 2 teams and for a while were ladies and lemons but then the stick was getting a bit much so we decided that we needed a new name and so we became Leather & Lace..........

Yeah, but you say Red and people think two things, stop, or Bull.
Maybe the headhunters should be that snotty green, as when people think Headhunter, they think of a person with a bone through the nose, hence runny nose, hence boogers. LOL
