Played my last ever Rugby match last sunday in midst of the never-ending rain.
Won 10-0 against Hall 10, then lost 15-0 to Hall 1 in the quarter-finals.
It was my first and last ever game against the defending champions whom had been keeping a clean sheet for the last few seasons. Their superior technique and teamwork had won them the game but it was our gamesmanship that has really won us the day. We almost broke their clean sheet when we went beyond their tryline, only to be denied by a last minute tackle which prevented our guy from touching down the ball. It was fun playing against the Hall 1, at least we gave them a run for their money.
As for the game against Hall 10, it was déjà vu for me again. I would always have a near miss in scoring every single year, only by a distance of 5 metres, and it was the same against this year. This was the 3rd time this season that I had beaten 3 men and only to be denied by the 4th opponent coming in.
Well, my final statistics for rugby as I retire: 13 caps, 0 goals.
This is the only regret I have for playing rugby.
