Last match of the season = WIN!

We played the last match of the season this weekend against Johnsonville which is a makeup game. We won it 27-23. It was a fantastic game!

The last two Friday's I got on the piss and didn't feel too great for my matches on Saturday. So I made sure I didn't drink this Friday and make sure I was ready to play my last match.

The fullback that 've been spliting time with began the game out at wing and got hurt about 10 minutes into the match. Now I hate to see people go down but this basically meant that I was going to playing the whole match if i was up for it. So i was little apprehensive b/c I haven't actually played a full match in about 2 months and my fitness to me is less than par. But everything worked out alright and I played well. It wasn't a great and exciting match for me, but you can sum it up in one word: safe. I did well on defense and what was funny is that I ran the ball alot more instead of kicking it when I was behind my 22. So that was fun.

In the first 20 minutes we went down 17-3 I think. We ended up pulling it back by the end of the match. We had some help from some senior 1st players and thank them for the win. Some of those players definitely made a difference. Even my mate Tom got about 30 minutes.

So, it's better late than never on the Win I guess. At least we didn't get totally doughnutted and I can leave New Zealand with a win.

So now there is about 2 weeks and the 7's season begins. I think I'll probably play that as well. If anything just to stay in shape and be active. Last night I went to this gym called Les Mills. It was my first time in about 8 months going to a nice gym and I loved it. Makes me miss Red's as well. They have this special on right now to try out the gym for a month free. So I'm going to start that today and get back into it. I can see myself getting spouiled by it though anf not want to go back to using the rugby club. The thing about the rugby club is that I never know when someone is going to be there to open it up for me. So that really blows. Outa time. Will load some pics when I get on another computer. Cheers
