Second time out with the camera this year, went with my school to one of their cup final rugby matches. Â On arrival it was very dark and spitting rain with the sun hanging just behind the shower cloud - typical! Â That said, the Elgin school strips really brightened the scenes up. Â The game started quite slowly with a lot of play in the middle of the park, and with me just behind the try-line I barely pressed the shutter in the opening twenty minutes. Â Elgin schools did continue to push and eventually got the try they had deserved, the conversion narrowly missed and with the opposition - Garioch schools of Aberdeenshire - clawing the margin with a penalty the scores at half time were Elgin schools 5-3 Garioch schools. Â The second half started with two tries from Elgin schools in the space of a few minutes and again both were unconverted. Â A lot more middle ground play before another pair of tries were scored - this time both were converted - and the game finished Elgin schools 29-3 Garioch schools.
