Am sure the name says it all…. Yes the
“mysterious guy” has returned, but before I get down to business allow me to
vehemently but briefly decipher the reason for my absence over the past few
months. After all being in the organizing committee of the ‘RUGBY
CHAMPIONSHIPS’ is quite the task…though that’s a story for another day.
I was glad to have made it in time to
catch the boys playing in the 2nd last leg of annual sevens circuit.
I have to admit day one didn't quite go their way but hey, no one ever said it
would be a walk in the park. Coolly I arrive at the grounds and make my way to
sit next to the technical bench where strategies were being discussed. If the
boys played their cards right, the trophy was theirs for the taking.
It was a win or win scenario, nothing
less… a few words of encouragement from the coach, screams from the fans and
determination in their fellow players eyes was enough to turn this team into a
well oiled machine that, if anything, gave a performance we hadn't seen in a
long time.
Perhaps the longest 10 minutes were
those of the second half of the bowl final against MWAMBA which saw us play with
six men for a whole two minutes (give or take a few seconds).
That is all I have on matters relating
to the field due to the level of inebriation (alcohol related) that were on the
other side of the barriers.
All we can do now is carry the
momentum over to the 15s season starting in a few weeks.
And with that I remind you:
THIS IS WHAT WE LIVE FOR : NONDIES
RUGBY!
