We had a really good afternoon out today. Our Accountants Hollings, Crowe and Storr of Otley were sponsoring Otley Rugby Club in their local derby with Wharfedale. Theres always a lot of interest in this derby and it was a good game well attended.
We started by having lunch in the clubhouse with Derek and Penny (accountants) and various other clients of theirs and then going out to watch the match.
Its funny how some people in the crowd get very excited and there was lots of shouting, cheering and jeering (especially at the ref!!) People kept asking him if he was blind but there was no guide dog around so I suspect he wasnt!! He must be thick skinned though!!!!!!
The game started very slowly and I was standing there thinking about all the things I could be doing at home but then it livened up and both teams started scoring. Otley kept the upper hand throughout and in the end had a fabulous victory of 31 - 14. The bottom picture shows an Otley player about to take the last kick of the day which was a successful conversion.
All in all a good afternoon as it turned out. And the sun shone, it was a beautiful day!
