Since having a fling at Brookes Rugby League, I have settled for playing for St. Peters College team. It is great fun, and much more relaxed than the rowing program. A practice on Saturday and Sunday, and match day on a Tuesday, it certainly allows for flexibility. I missed the first two games of the season against Teddy Hall and Jesus due to a persistent knee injury but manged to get some of the game against St. Johns/St. Annes and managed to win. All games have been very close, with us only just winning them. The guys say we are not playing well enough, but I reckon it is mainly because when you play in a bad league (St. Peters was recently demoted) your standard tends to drop. So, I feel that as long as we keep winning, and improve with every game, we will hopefully get promoted again and do some damage.
The socials are probably more important than the game-well not really but are pretty big... Every Tuesday evening starts with fines in the St. Peters College pub, and then we had a crew date last Tuesday which involves another college (Lincoln ladies in this case). Procedure was a curry in Jamals (curry house in Jericho (Oxford uni part of Oxford) then on to Kakui (a club) and the overall aim is to get something out of the girls-don't think there was much success overall but bound to find out tomorrow training...
