Touch Tourney.... CHAMPIONS!!!!!









April, was indeed a busy month as the Annual JET touch tourney was held in Tokushima.. This Tourney was to be a great and also tragic tourney as you will find out... We left friday night on our team bus ,2 teams-28 of us packed onto the bus... really bad start as the driver was koretake, turned up nearly an hour late and bloody got lost on the way... heck we didnt get to the venue until 3am..Not a great start...but the team bonded well on during the trip..

Saturday...
Touch time... well we started well easily winning a first 2 games..carving up in fact, but that led to my worse moment of the tourney.. during our 3rd game i ended up rupturing my archillies.... ohhh the pain as i fell to the ground.. felt like someone had kicked me from behind only to turn around to see no one was there.. well from then on i turned to being NO 1 supporter.. we ended the day unbeaten and looked good for the next day...

Party.. we had the BBQ/ piss up later that night... although injured badly, this didnt stop me from going hard and downing a few brews.. dont know if i did it more harm then good, but was not going to miss out on this party.. had a mean night catching up with all the maoris and kiwis there.. was a primo night..

SUNDAY-Championship Time...
Today we had a 4 game round robin for the championship... our team played really well and killed the opposition.. the combination of our ladies scoring tries and cuzzy anou carving up proved too strong for the opposition.. finally after 3 years of trying we had finally won.. although i didnt play as much as i wanted it was still good to take the tourney out...
