100% comes to an end.

Well it had to come to and end some day, and on Friday we lost our first game of the season to Castleford 18-19. Cas had a good game pushed around the park by a certain 'Shifty' Sherwin (remember him readers?)

We had a bad day at the office, but still scored more tries than Cas. In a way I'm glad the run is out of the way, this will concentrate the lads minds a bit.

Here is my 3rd little video taken with my phone at the game, catching The FC's last try.

5 out of 5, and its a small world!

The FC have their best ever start to the season with a 26-34 win away at the Bradford Bulls. I can't believe the start we've had, and long may it continue!!

I was supposed to be going to the game yesterday, but instead was in bed nursing the hangover from hell! We never learn do we? I did have a good reason though, as I met up with some friends I hadn't seen for years. One, Dave, was my best pal in my teens and Saturday was the first time I'd seen him in 27 years! He was my sisters boyfriend, and she was best pals with his sister. They got in touch after many years on Facebook and found out they could wave at each other from their bedrooms! They had actually been living practically back to back for quite a few years! It's a small world really isn't it, and things like Facebook make it a hell of a lot smaller!! :)

Yay!!!!

FC update

Just a quick post about Fridays game.
Another good win for the FC over the Catalan Dragons 28-12. I was very pleased with the performance, the defence looked fantastic and I was impressed by the teams fitness once again. We're not playing any fancy stuff, but that will come with game time, and as our half back pairing of Chris Thorman and Richard Horne really begins to click. Shaun Berrigan looked sharp at Hooker, and he can only improve with a long stint in his preferred position. Last season he had to play all over the place with all the bad injuries we had.
The pack are looking really excellent at the moment. They are not a big pack by today's standards, but seem to be punching above their weight, hopefully they can keep this up.
Still no news about Micheal Crocker's visa re-application. Hopefully we'll hear news very soon (fingers, legs, eyes, and everything crossed!)

Sad news about full back Todd Byrne getting an injury that will see him out for the rest of the season. It's looking likely that he will be released from the rest of his contract so we can bring a replacement in. Todd looked in great form this season, and the the last ditch tackle he made against Wigan in the season opener will live long in the memory. I hope he has a speedy recovery!

Finally here's my 2nd rugby action video!! Taken from the game against Le Cats last Friday. It shows a passage of play leading up to the last FC try of the match scored by Tom Briscoe. Of course because of my excellent camera skills (and being a bit excited)I managed to miss the touch down! (doh!) But there is a rousing rendition of 'Old Faithful' near to the end as Danny Tickle converts the try. As you will see, a career in Hollywood beckons! :)
