Saturday Mornings…..

There are not too many things that I enjoy getting up early for on a cold Saturday morning in the middle of January. The hustle and bustle of December should be offset with weekend long lies and peaceful normality in January. The exception to the rule? When one of your wonderful sons are playing rugby. By far my favourite, no in fact, the only sport I love. The togetherness, commitment and all for one attitude is evident through every age group Declan has played for. It’s something he and his friends are passionate about, lets face it, it’s a game that unless you have that passion you’re not going to play for long. For mum, it’s a reminder of how independent your son is becoming but also a chance to capture some memories without the argument’s! Everything I have discussed here – cold, togetherness, independence – are all sentiments on display in my images from Saturdays game. Unfortunately, despite a valiant effort, the boys suffered a defeat. Something they are not used to. One thing is for sure though, they will dust themselves down, pick themselves up and be ready for the next game. And so will mum!
