Afternoon everybody,
A very busy day yesterday and a bloomin' cold one. The back pitches are
very soft so I ended up standing in a bog for a couple hours shooting
the under 15's - congratulations to Kettering for the win.
Thank goodness we were shooting in daylight and I could get the 80-400mm
going again. I had just sat down from shooting the teams running out
and who should appear in front of me but a rampaging Digger. I only just
managed to focus the camera and there was no chance of me picking up
the other camera for the short stuff for his celebration hence the
rather jaunty angles!
I thought Mark Easter and Roger Wilson were outstanding. Myler was
assured and it was great to see Joe Ansbro running with ball in hand.
Bruce was his usual self - it was an honour to take photos of him
leading the team out. In the end it was a solid performance from Saints
and I can't wait for the semi-final.
A word for Dave Pearson - many thanks for taking the time to tell the
photographers which way the teams are playing. It's really helpful to
know in advance where to go especially if you don't have a reason to be
on the pitch as the teams run out.
Anyway on to my favorites...
The rest of the photos can be found
'ere....
See you for the Falcons match next week!
