And so the season begins ….

….the Rugby season that is!

Daniel had his first match of the 2006/07 season this morning away at Widnes. The boy was in fine form and unlike last year was definitely not living up to the nickname that Grandad dreamt up for him of “Billy Elliott” becasue he was prancing round the field.

Daniel really got stuck into the game and made WIdnes work really hard as he became a demon tagger, stripping anyone that came near him of a tag or two.

A few minutes into the first half he received the ball at the opponnents end of the pitch and proceeded to fly down the wing leaving his team mates and the opposition in his wake to score his first try of the season!

There is to be a competition this season between Daniel and Uncle Michael to see who can score the most tries – so far it is level pegging at 1 try each – but we will keep you posted as the season progresses.
