Last night
Oct. 9th, 2003 11:08 amRugby against the Canadian Forces College last night. Their team is drawn from the students and directing staff of the Command and Staff course which means that most of their players are 30 something captains (or equivalent), frighteningly fit and very aggressive. We, on the other hand, were an assorted band drawn from various clubs around Tdot with an average age much closer to 50 than 40. Fortunately most of them haven't played much rugby plus the motley crew that showed up for us had an indecently high proportion of more than adequate players. We ran out easy winners which was nice though I only lasted 20 minutes before injuring my shoulder. I really enjoy playing against these guys. They are always great fun and play in a really good spirit.
