Rugby 100531 Gilfach Goch, Wales

On Memorial Day we played an Old Boys friendly against Gilfach Goch, a Welsh touring side. The weather was warm -- 90 degrees at kick off -- and sunny so the boys from Wales did not fare well. We jumped on them early, scoring 3 tries within about 10 minutes. I scored on a 50m try from the wing. In the second half a few of us played for Gilfach and that was fun as well. I flanked and missed a drop goal.

Overall, I did not play well, but I felt very fit and fast and I didn't get hurt. I selfishly pulled up for a drop goal when I could have run in for a try but oh well. There's another old boys match this Wednesday I'd love to play but I have the kids.
