Abergavenny Festival

The plan was  to chill out on the Friday play the rugby on Saturday and then party on  Saturday evening but that plan lasted  about 5 minutes  with  the players arriving in fancy dress or lack of fancy dress in some cases  ( details can be found on face book). The quick  journey  down to Usk proved  to be exhausting for  some as they  rested and  watched the parents put the  tents up. It was then to the marquee where   the arm wrestling competition was a little disorganized  and no clear  winner was identified.  By Saturday morning   the impact of the new plan was clear with several players already unable to play. Hill  put in a few  under par performances but they did manage to raise their game for the last match to  score a draw with Buith Wells. With the rugby now over  it was back to the tents for a barbeque,  the  anticipation of Dawson’s cuisine  made a few people very thirsty  and  for some reason  in quenching  this thirst they became  tired and when to bed  early. For the others we traveled over to the marquee to watch the band and then back to  tents to sit around the fire and  talk rubbish ( mainly Julian). After a quick breakfast on Sunday morning we broke camp and returned to the club for what was an enjoyable weekend.
