And That's A Wrap...
And That’s A
Wrap...
So, today
sees every parent’s nightmare... end of the season. Lie ins on a Sunday, family
time doing things other than rugby. To say I am looking forward to the break is
an understatement, but…
What will we
do with our little darlings every weekend for the rest of the summer? Now,
those that know me know that I am the first to moan about being on the side-lines
all weekend, but in reality, even I will be lost!
This week
saw the boys entering the last tournament of the season, Harlequins Amateur
Festival. They all loved this tournament last year and played fantastically. They
didn’t disappoint this year either! To say I am proud of each one of them is an
understatement. I have watched these boys from eight years old finding their
feet in the contact sport. From the times they were all in it for themselves to
now when they played as one, as a team. To see these boys from so many
different walks of life build friendships and excel in the sport that has brought
them together is a privilege. They have made the parents and coaches proud today,
they pulled off five good wins on the bounce. With pure teamwork and determination.
So, that’s it.
No more until September. I am now in a bit of a predicament. Most of the boys
will now switch to cricket, a nice relaxed summer sport. I have a unique child,
in that he has no interest in summer sports at all! We have suggested cricket,
tennis, golf and athletics. Even though he plays these he has no passion for
them and can give or take them.
Yes, he
probably does need a bit of a rest but knowing my child I will still be
dropping him to the local rugby club to practice his kicking and sidestepping.
He just doesn’t get that you need a break. So,
Preseason
for him(and I have no doubt me) will start next week! Look out for me in park near you wishing I was sat in the local cricket club drinking tea and eating scones with cream and jam!
Have a
fantastic summer whatever you may be doing. Enjoy your cream teas and think of
me sat outside the local, closed rugby club watching my rugby obsessed charge
kicking eggs and running between sticks!
