15th October 2015 – Beachborough 2nd v Abingdon Rugby

Strange day on Wednesday, we lost but where missing a few players, earned my 2nd  Man of the Match in a row (and 3rd in 3 matches – missed a match as away skiing!)

But after being dragged down in a maul by my neck I ended up in hospital having x ray.  The ambulance guys and the Doctors and Nurses at John Radcliffe where amazing (so was Alison who came to Woody’s rescue!) Luckily no broken bones but a very sore neck.  I think my S&C work with Ben helped !

Referees at school level need to watch for this, it’s a priority at the RWC so why not at junior level !

7th October 2015 – Met an Olympian!

Tonight I met Kelly Gallagher, MBE, winner of Britain’s first ever Winter Paralympic gold during the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. Kelly, with the support of her guide Charlotte Evans, finished first in the visually impaired Super-G competition.  Kelly was an inspiration to meet and I hope the next time I wear an Olympic Gold Medal it’s one I’ve earned!  All the best for this coming World Cup Season, Kelly!
