Pictures from our team of unofficial and official Photographers

Revenge on the team that broke our unbeaten home run last season, and within a whisker of a bonus point which would have put us top of the table!

Here are my photos:

A few favourites - the captain doesn't like the lineout throw:

Morning all,

10.57am and I've already reviewed and Photoshopped all yesterday's match efforts - new workflow seems to be doing well (Sm13).

Yesterday was a busy day so busy I roped DrT into shooting the Under11's in the morning. I knew that OU Photography course he did a couple of years ago would come in handy! I enjoyed shooting the LandRover Cup again - it's the third time I've done it and it seems to get more popular each time. 19 teams from all over East Anglia!! Congratulations to Sian and her team who do a fabulous job. Congratulations too to Wymondham who won and Diss who gave them an excellent match.

The main event was hard fought - we have sad news about Roger Wilson this morning - I thought he and Dowson were brilliant yesterday. They were everywhere and their pace for big men is astonishing. Our front row gave the Falcons a lesson - I'd been relishing Hayman vs Tonga'uiha and it was a mighty battle which Soane won. Brian Mujati is now stamping his authority on games - Brett Sharman wrote in the programme that there is a big difference between rugby in SA and here and that is most reflected in the forwards. I think Air Brian has taken some time to adjust - Golding certainly knows he's arrived (Sm13). Both DrT and I thought Messrs Long and Morris did the business when they came on - both were very fired up and charging all over the place.

I was delighted for Flash - he scored two lovely tries in such lovely boots. Finally, a word for our two centres - Downey and Clarke are both little gems - Downey was imperious in midfield yesterday and both he and Clarkie are dragging defences all over the show, creating gaps. I sometimes wonder if I should shoot photos of the space to prove the point!

It's the first match I've been able to shoot with the 80-400mm for the entire 80 minutes and boy does it make a difference!

Anyway these are my favourites...
