What this Week Brings – w/c 9th September 2013

Due to the SnoZone having freezing issues, No Gravity session, but Tuesday was a SMK Training session.  Good to get back on my skis again !

On Saturday I took part in a Gravity Boot Camp, with a skills session followed by freestyle ski session.  With Strength and conditioning in the afternoon – a great day !

Good news this week at school, as picked for the School Under 11 Rugby Colts team as Scrum Half !  First match next week !

Sunday rugby training at BRUFC was a great session, with the coaches introducing scrums.

What This Week Brings – w/c 2nd September 2013

Wind down week before school starts again.

We played our first Division 2 Football match against last Saturdays U10 Tournament Winners, Woburn Lions Whirlwinds.  What we thought was going to be a tough match turned into a storming 6:1 win.  http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/greathorwood/j/match-centre-89370/0-2041783

After a clean sheet in goal for the first half, I  managed to weave through Woburn’s defence and score a great goal.

Sunday morning Rugby training was a good session.

No skiing this week, just having a rest.

We also visited a few of the World War 1 Commonwealth Graves and also a German Cemetery, where over 60,000 German soldiers are buried – all very sad.

We also visited, Diksmuide in Belgium, where they have restored a WW1 trench, which was known as the Trench of Death.  Later we stopped at the Essex Farm Cemetery, which is also the site of a field hospital where the Canadian John McCrae worked as a  surgeon.  McCrae is famous for his poem In Flanders Fields, which related the Poppy to the remembrance of WW1.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Flanders_Fields
