Photos from last week's B-side match

Most weeks, after the main match (the one that counts for competitive purposes), there's a B-side match. This allows the guys who don't get to play in the main match to get some playing time and, hopefully, improve their skills. Actually, some of the guys who play in the main match sometimes join in, too, in order to fill out a side. Sometimes for the other team.

So here are some photos from last week's B-side against Hudson Valley...

Next up: Gotham vs. Fordham

Last week's rugby photos, continued

(Always remember: click on any/all of the photos for a better look.)


















Note the leg tattoo, for those of you who like them. (As I recall, it continues on his side/back, too.)




















The ref signals that he has scored another try.


Celebrating the win




Farewell from one of our favorite Aussies :)

Next up: some shots from last week's B-side match.

We won!

Gotham trounced Fordham's Old Maroon today, scoring over 50 points versus their 5.

Photos will take a few days, but that's okay. I still have some from last week.

In the meantime... hooray!!! :-)

----------------------

Correction: I made a boo-boo above. It wasn't over 50 points. It was 41-5. Still, this is amazing. When I first started covering the Gotham Knights, they were a very young team that would get pummeled all too often. Now, they're doing the pummeling. Now, they're heading for their Division finals!

Unusual rugby maneuvers

So Mike's running along when he gets tripped up by a guy from the other team. And what happens?



































Now was that a run or what? (BTW, you should see him without his shirt!) :)







And later, Mike (from above) scores a try...













And that should do for this post!
