Greg's camera was pretty cool. We didn't really play with it much but I was impressed with the low light capabilities. We were too busy out hitting the clubs.  |
LOL I agree! They are some tough girls!
Busy hittin' the clubs of Chandler, A to the Z?! Ballerrrrrrrrr!

You could also look up the Canadian National Senior Women's Team, who support the costs of theiir international tours with sales of a calendar each year. I won't post the pictures. We may need to get PNG a copy. I wish they had sufficient support that they didn't need to do so much fundraising, but that said, the calendar is well done. Just the ladies, a ball, and a few maple leaves. They got the idea from a UK women's rugby team.
Now, keep practicing with that camera! |
LOL I completely agree with you. I think once you reach the adult/club level of rugby, that's when the girlie-girls quit. There were a few college teams in the tournament, and they looked more like field hockey/lacrosse players. My best friend played rugby in college. I never made it to any of her games. Once I went to my first Austin Valkyries tournament, I told her that there is no way she played againsted these women. She said, "oh no no no... they are brutal!" She used to have the nastiest bruises on her body. I cannot imagine how they are any less "brutal!"
Congrats to your daughter! I'm sure you've taken some awesome pictures... post them!
