Alex Playing Touch in the State Cup
I took a couple of hours off work today so I could drive Alex and two of his mates over to Wagga to get the bus to take them to Wollongong for the NSW Touch Association's Junior State Cup. There are 286 teams registered to compete which makes the event the largest of its kind in touch football. Teams from 49 different affilaites will compete in age groups from Under 10 - Under 18 in Boys and Girls divisions in a non-stop weekend of fast and furious action featuring the brightest and best of New South Wales junior touch football talent.
The boys were all very excited, and Alex had a hard time getting to sleep last night. I'm not going up, so he has strict instructions to behave, brush his teeth, put everything back in his bag, etc. The only other time he's been away was on the school excursion, where there was lots of teacher supervision and I must admit to being a little worried.
I'm sure he'll have a great time and come home missing a few pairs of socks (I packed 10 pairs!!) and I hope their team does well.
