Rugby reversal - Sandy Bay

What a difference a week (and opposition) can make.  Aiden's Stingrays team did to Sandy Bay (always makes me smile that name - being a nudist beach in Cape Town) what HK Football Club did to them last week - soundly thrashed.  Aiden was absolutely on fire - possibly settling down into his new position at fullback - and certainly getting fitter and fitter as the term rolls on. Ev's team (or the parts of it that can afford it were playing in Singapore).

Cutting back, running crash ball through the middle.

About to run over their scrum-half on another cut back ball.

Joining the line as the ball goes wide, and just getting his fingertips to a pass a fraction too wide out in front of him...

But managing to reel it in going at full tilt, rapidly approaching the touch-line...

Cover defense is coming across, the arm lurking in the left of frame, cutting back, his mate Jules Larsson tracking him

Moving the ball across, stepping off his left, cover defense is going too high...

Rides the collision, and spins out of it ...

and puts on the gas back infield.

Ball in two hands, getting into position to go into contact

He had an absolute blast.

Kicking a conversion - using a field marker as a tee - need to get him a proper one

Chilling with Harry Maddren after the game.  Very different looks on faces to the week before.
