Tackling Practise

Friday night is rugby training night - and the boys are usually all full of 'giggle' and 'naughty' juice. Afterall, it is the end of the week, there is no homework, the smell of freedom and an open field - add that all up and you have a squad of boys (and girls) who are just ... silly !

Tonight was all about learning how to grab the ball, or hold onto the ball and tackling. Mummy had to gulp a few times ... this season will be the telling time for Joshua as he steps up to tackle.

And the team mascot is usually just as frisky as the team on a Friday night and spends his time either trying to join in the training or dancing around with his lead in his mouth teasing anyone who dares to chase him!
