Pix - Bees 30/12/06

Pre match roll in the mud
 Rather than stay dry in the bar, the Pirates decide it's a good idea to test the mud

Pre match huddle
 I think we're all agreed...it is indeed very muddy

It's rain Jim, but not as you know it
 It's rain Jim but not as you know it

The Pirates leave their dressing room

Early lineout with few jumpers
 Don't just look at it...jump!

The Pirates make first inroads into Bees half

The heat rises in the Pirates changing room

Cowley goes back out for more

'The Maul' takes shape in the first minute

The Pirates now in control push for more
 Pirates pressure is relentless as they seek a killer third try.

Cattle keeps the packs waiting

Sam Heard leaves the pitch
 Sam volunteers to find out.

Pass the soap!
 Pass the soap!

The try line beckons surely?
 Another period of Pirates domination builds.

The first of a series of 5m scrums
 The first of a sequence of scrummages with bubbles a cunning distraction.

Yet another 5m scrum
 De ja vu. Bees defender points to where he thinks they should be.

Steam rises from the two packs

The Pirates plot to get Bees sub grubby

From the gloom Alberto seals the win
 Somewhere over there, di Bernado clinches it as the Bee looks on and up.

Game over
 At the final whistle, the teams work out who is who.

In from the Gloom
 With everyone accounted for, the tunnel is formed.

Post match and Winnan looks relatively clean
 Adrian tries to ignore Chris's threat of a dunking.

An inspirational light?
 Is that a divine light shining through from the huddle?

Where's the shower?
 Do not delay my route to the shower...as if ;o)
