Billy meets Joey's U13b Billy's adventure in Rugby Union continues. Last week he was played inthe U13d team against Waverley. He played well and was promoted to the U13c team, which faced the U13b team from Joey's (even though the majority of the teams were playing Cranbrook) It was an away game for Knox, which meant we headed out to St Joseph's College at Hunters Hill. The boys played well, and weren't totally disgraced in the result (57 to 0) While at the game, I spoke to some of the dads on the sidelines. One of the dads had gone to school at Joeys. We chatted a bit more and found out he went to school with Iain McDonald - small world! Next week, I am taking Billy to see the Wallabies meet England. Hopefully this will inspire him [listening to: In Heaven - Fatboy Slim ] 5:08:54 PM    comment []  trackback []  G!   • Family
