Rugby
When Gareths friends Tommy and Darcy wanted to start training with the Macquarie roos Under 6 team we were pleasantly surprised when he said he wanted to go too.
Byron brought him to training last Tuesday evening and today he had his first real match! It was an away match in a rugby club in Newcastle. The sun was shining, he had his No 12 club rugby shirt and his proper rugby boots on and looked the part. The three boys ran around warming up and mixing with their other team mates and then the match began... 
It was an exciting 15minutes to each side and all the kids played their hearts out.
They all were surprisingly coordinated and seemed very clued in to how the game worked. 
They passed the ball well, did line-outs and scrums and scored 7 tries! 
Gareth was focused in the first half and raced after anyone with the ball and the few times he got his hands on it he ran like the wind. He scored a try which had Mr B in seventh heaven. 
By the second half they were running a bit slower and were slightly less focused. A passing helicopter had a few of the boys mesmerised for a minute or two while the game carried on around them!
It was a great day and Gareth cant wait till training again next week.
