Today we played the Syston RFC under 12’s, the team with the most horrible parents in this or any other universe. They are the pits of the world, they are nosiy and intimidating and utterly unsporting. There are in fact rumors that in order for your child to play for Syston RFC you, as a parent, are required to sell your soul to the Lord of the Flies, the dark demon himself Satan. Now this may be complete bollocks, and as an Atheist I CAN’T THINK OTHERWISE, but if it were possible to sell ones soul to the dark deceiver than this shower of faecal matter would be first in the queue to do so. They are awful; other teams dread visiting them or even playing them in tournaments held elsewhere! They are insanely competitive, they don’t celebrate scoring they moan conceding a score. When we finally got our act together in the second game and started scoring points against them you’d have thought that the world had come to an end. The team started bickering amongst themselves and the parents threatened harsh punishments for these transgressions. It was positively medieval!
Anyway, they creamed us in the first match, everyone creams the Vipers in their first match but in the second we put up a much better fight. We scored two tries; Nat scored one of them and helped support Brandon who scored the second. Nat’s getting in there like a terrier and appears to have no fear. If we can crack the sprinting problem, at present Nat jogs, then he’ll be unstoppable. There are very few single players who can stop him once he’s got that ball in his hands!
Han, as usual, had to try to be the center of attention doing cartwheels and generally calling attention to her self. Deb says it’s just sibling rivalry but at times it really grates. I supposed it doesn’t help that I’d just come off the night shift and was totally knackered.
We were away for 12:00 and home for 12:30; as soon as we were home I went straight to bed to “enjoy” a disturbed afternoon’s sleep. My knee was particularly painful and I needed a hot water bottle to help relive it somewhat. I slept but woke frequently and eventually woke at 6:00 feeling still totally tuckered out.
3rd night tonight, one more to go after this; then I’ve got the kids for the week as they are now off school for 2 weeks for the Easter break….. Goody!!!!
