One Match – Two Tries

On yet another cold Sunday morning Mummy was once again on the sidelines of the rugby pitch watching Daniel playing in a match, this time Warrington were playing against Wilmslow.

Daddy (Tim), Emilie and Joshua had also come down to the club to watch the match but just as they made their way to the side line the heavens opened and it started to hailstone, the hailstones were hard and cold so Daddy (Tim), Emilie and Joshua retreated to the club house and then to the car so that they could go home and get warm.

Mummy weathered the storm and watched Daniel play a fantastic match, the two teams were very evenly matched but it wasn’t long before Daniel received the ball from kick off and streaked down to the wing to open the scoring for Warrington.

The match was a hard match and Wilmslow had some very big players, one of which took a shine to Daniel so much so that even when Daniel didn’t have the ball, as he had passed to another member of his team so that they could score a try, he tackled him and wouldn’t let go – it was a David and Goliath moment as Daniel’s temper took hold and he turned and pushed the rather large boy off him and told him to “get off me or else” – at which the large boy took it upon himself to start pushing Daniel about – fortunately the referee stepped in and substituted the Wilmslow player before Daniel managed to retaliate!

The boys looked freezing on the pitch and at half time we went on to give their legs and arms a rub to try and warm them up – this seemed to pay off for Daniel as once again he scored shortly after kick off with another superb run down the length of the pitch side-stepping like a superstar and really outplaying the Wilmslow boys.

The match ended as a draw, it was a very entertaining match and the boys are really starting to come into their own and play like a team – keep it up boys!

So two tries from this match puts Daniel 3-1 up in the 2008-09 Try Competition, much to the disgust of Uncle Michael!
