How can it be?
Where did all those years go?
Can it really be almost six years ago since she started?
Where did all those years go?
Can it really be almost six years ago since she started?
(Can you spot her?)Friday afternoon in extremely wet Wales
Rain falling in that heavy drizzle that feels like little but soaks you through within seconds
Our girls warmed up outside, soggy in minutesThe opposition decided to warm up inside on the indoor astro - appearing at the very last minute - tactics
Old contests running through everyone's headsThis time it's pay-back time
White shirts turning to grimy greyGrit and determination shining through the dismal drizzle
An almost immediate lead with a run-away try inside the first minuteRed hands in the ruck - Come on Ref!
Slippery wet ball juggling on the run
Communication - the name of the game
Popping the ball back in the tackleEighty minutes of grunt and grind
Flashes of breakaway brilliance
Kicking for territory
A win - we actually beat them!
Sheer exhausted delight at the final winning score of 12 -22Beating their nemesis in their own back yard
What a fitting conclusion to six years of Junior rugby

You make the game come alive. What fabulous girls and your daughter is so vibrant!
This time of year marks the end of eras..we are just entering the final stretch of high school for one in our household and somehow that seems huge!
She was the tallest one in the back row in the first team pic, right?
Nice photojournalism, there:) Time flies when you're getting wet, mad, muddy, and tough! Congrats to the team and your star player.
Yahoo! A Win! Bittersweet at times, watching them grow...I wept a bit at my sons last game.
Congratulations! You all must have been so excited.
Oh what a happy face! I just get the biggest kick out of her loving that! You wouldn't catch me playing rough like that at all!
She has been amazing at this sport - you must be so proud!! Congratulations on the win!
