You Can't Win Them All...

Dad used to say this alot when I first started to play with the Loyalists 16 seasons ago, he hasn't had to say it much recently, but last Saturday, he could have - we lost to the Trojans 27-24 - I missed a kick on the last play of the game to tie it at 27, that sucks - what sucks even more is that I was sucked out during the game, I didn't seem to have any energy (Lack of Sleep, Not a good B'fast - I don't know) but I do know that excuses are like assholes, everybody has one - excuses are easy to use and to blame - but all it does is shift the responsibility away from where it truly belongs - squarely on our shoulders.

Losers make excuses, Champions make commitments ...

So we get over it, we look ahead to this weekend's tilt against Halifax RFC (Cougle's Team) - The Peter Dickson Cup. Peter was a former captain of the Loyalists and a coach of Halifax RFC - he passed away from cancer almost a decade ago - so our two clubs come together once a year to celebrate his memory by playing rugby. Should be a good game, I know that the Loyalists have something to prove to ourselves.

How is Sophie? She's awesome as always - the Solid food experiment is going better - I don't know if she read Superfudge in the womb but "Eat it or Wear it" seems to be a motto of hers.


Big congrats to Heather and Troy Shears who recently got married in Australia in the company of Big Simon (He was their videographer) - This is Sophie's first exposure to Oz culture.



Malcolm is correct - you can't win them all, and nor should you, because there are some important lessons that you can't learn from winning - Like You Should Try to Win Them all...

I HATE LOSING!
