Rugby: HURT vs. Katy Lions

The winning streak must go on. Last Saturday, HURT put 29 points on the board with a combination of tries, conversions and penalties. Don't ask me what that means, just go with it. Katy Lions Rugby failed to do any of those things. The game started off a little chippy with a Katy Lion being sent off early with two yellow cards but usually the scoreboard cures all, especially for the winners.

Once again, pretty entertaining and highly competitive but I'm a little less lost about the game than I was last week. You know how people from other countries talk about how they learned English by watching reruns of Full House and Gilligan's Island (which is a pretty incredible feat). Well that's how I'm going to figure out the game of rugby. I'm just going to keep watching until I understand. I'm definitely starting to get the gist.

Rugby: HURT vs. Woodlands Rugby Club

My second ever rugby game went a little bit better last weekend mostly because I could feel my fingers this time around. HURT went up against the Woodlands Rugby Club and came away with a 28-21 victory. I know if one team has more points than the other, that's usually a good thing. But much like my lacrosse shooting days in the Mid-Atlantic, I have no idea what's going on in the field of play. To my very untrained and butt naked eye, the teams looked pretty evenly matched. What do I know? Check out some more images from the game HERE!

Houston United Rugby Team aka HURT

I've photographed a lot of sports over the years but that long list didn't include rugby. Well it does now. I linked up with the Houston United Rugby Team (HURT) to shoot a little action during their 2015 Red River Rugby Conference season. So far, it's off to a cold and rainy start. More to come...if the weather gets better.
