On the 14th February Hertfordshire travelled to Birmingham University to face the toughest challenge of their season so far. The Lions are the current BUAFL champions & haven’t lost a league game for several years.

The day didn’t start well with poor weather & rain enveloping the south east. Surprisingly as I got further up the M1, the sun started to come out. The game started in bright sunshine, though this varied throughout the gaem, it stayed dry.

Sadly, the challenge was too great for the Hurricanes to meet & it soon became clear that their rivals were equal to their reputation. The Lions ended up victors by 44 to 12.

If the Hurricanes advance to the playoffs, the chances are that they will meet the Lions again. If they do, they’ll have to put a stop to the silly little errors which plagued their game.

The new camera was a joy to use & I can’t wait until the summer season where the weather is the same throughout the whole game.

I love the first shot which captures a facemasking penalty in glorious technicolor.

you can see the rest of the game shots on my old website.
