right i went down and did my usual limp lettuce thing of stood and watched for about 40 minutes, they were doing touch rugby so i was watching and learning, then an older fella went for a pi55 (walked past me) and asked if i wanted to join in, spoke to us for a bit, etc and was very friendly
i explained id never played before and he said the best way was to jump in and have a go, so fcuk it i thought and got on
as it was going on some of the older ones were teaching me where to stand, where to run, etc and yes you guessed it the first thing i did was get hit in the face with the ball
caught it though and carried on running which may have gone down well, most of the other team was young lads and skinny wiley ones, most of our team were old men so it was a good half hour or so, i enjoyed it
afterwards one of the lads spent a few minutes showin me how to throw, etc and the same fella who spoke to me first was trying to convince me to play as hooker because of my lack of neck and big shoulders, i dont think so though ;)
i said id go back next tuesday (will be the same sort of thing) and apparantly pre-season starts on 16th july, so they said they would put me with the 4th team (thank god) and see where im at, the same fella said that i picked it up fast enough for my first time, but im too quiet on the pitch (this will change when i know them trust me)
so yeah in the end a sucessfull night
