Entertaining... until I got wet!

31st August 2019

I was assigned to cover the Priaulx League football game at St Peters on Saturday. I was looking forward to seeing how the Alderney side is shaping up this season and the game against Sylvans promised plenty action.

I wasn't disappointed with the pace of the game which kept spectators attention. I had turned up early having just left the 2-Day Motocross event and I settled in to capture the action.

What I hadn't anticipated was the clouds rolling in after the first thirty minutes of play... then the heavens opened and we all had to endure the uncomfortable heavy persistent drizzle. I and my kit got soaked through as I hadn't dressed accordingly!

Perhaps fortunately (I don't like getting wet!), I only had time in the schedule to cover the first half and when I left Sylvans were leading. But as I found out later Alderney showed their character and determination and pulled a win out of the hat with a final score of 3-4. Well done chaps.

I have uploaded a few pics to a gallery. Follow this link to view them:
