Well, I've found my new hockey I think. I have a friend who's constantly going on about how great Rugby League is and, (please don't kill me when you read this, Rich) most of the time I'd just nod and smile politely because it's quite important to him. However, yesterday it was on the telly and having not much else to do I decided to watch part of a game. And you know (I hate to say it), he was right. It really is quite fun to watch - and it doesn't seem to be the voilent-man-pile-up sport I once thought it was. It definitely seems more fun than football. Football consists of kick, run, run, run, kick, run, - turn the opposite direction, kick, run, run, pass, run, kick etc. But with rugby there's running and kicking, and sliding and throwing and tacking (tee hee) and the refs are miked so you can hear them reprimanding the players for doing this, that and the other thing.
The other highlight of sports-this-weekend was that there was a football fight that made headlines...because the players fighting each other were on the same team...at least hockey players have the sense not to beat up their own... Silly, silly boys...
