Weston (or Douglas) is a member of the Castle Park Rugby squad (in burgundy) . So far he has enjoyed it. His Coach told him he has the size, speed, and temperment to be a good player. He just needs to stay on his feet and learn the rules of the game. The Coach suggested he watch rugby each day for 4 hours?
He was on the A team most of the year, but this last week, was placed on the B team (until he can learn the rules and stay on his feet!) Rebekah and I went to a Ruby fixture (game) this week to see him play. He did great, scored 4 'trys' and was the 'Man of the Match'.
He did fall down quite a bit... but he also made some great tackles and runs. His coach calls him 'Dougy' and was very happy with his performance. He was hopeful that Dougy would make it back to the A team with some practice. Rebekah was excited to be there, and experienced a roller coaster of emotions, from fear and concern to elation and pride. She was not sure what to think, as they hit each other and threw one another around. Luckily at this age, no one seems to get hurt. Especially if they stay on their feet!
