First club game of the season
May. 13th, 2012 07:53 amI survived the opening weekend of the club season despite getting rather badly lost trying to find North Halton's ground.
It was a pretty good game. The Buccaneers edged North Halton 17-14. Physically I was fine though, once again, the increase in physicality from high school to even a 'B' division game like this one was striking. I think I did OK. I am finding it harder each year to be exactly where I want to be as quickly as i want to be there but I coped. I'm also getting increasingly irritated with the amount of talking in adult games. Some people just don't shut up. That said, there were players on both sides doing stuff to make my job easier which I do appreciate.
Next weekend is a holiday with no fixtures so it's back to high school games for a couple of weeks.
