1 pulled hamstring, 1 torn quad, 2 dislocated fingers, 1 head injury, 2 trophies

The tag season is over! As of last saturday, our team, the Schnakey Ones have ended their season in some small amount of glory! We managed to win our league, despite finishing fourth in the table due to losing our last two games. Then, last saturday, some of us joined together with some friends from another team and went down to Cork to take part in a One Day Blitz.

We managed to win the plate in the C division, despite battling an array of disabilities, such as hangovers, indian revenge, not knowing how to get to the rugby club and never having trained together as a team - not to mention an unhealthy dosage of pessimism about our chances!!

Despite the various injuries, and the hassle of trying to organise training and getting enough people together each week to be able to field a team, not to mention the team politics, it has been fantastic fun. I'd probably hesitate before undertaking to 'manage' a team through another season, but I definitely wouldn't hesitate to pull my boots on, tape up my fingers, put on my knee brace, strap up my ankle and head onto the pitch!

Schnake on! One league cup and one blitz plate - the double!!
