CANTERBURY RUGBY CLUB

This would rate as one of the best games of rugby I have seen in a long time, Canterbury were 14-3 down at half time and looked completely out of the game, Barking's fluid passing and strength made the second half look like it was going to be a walkover. However Canterbury fought back to a 14-13 defeat in the end, on their second half performance they certainly deserved the victory.

A 2pm kick off meant that the light levels were pretty good for this time of the year, just before 3pm though the levels dropped and at ISO 800 and a shutter speed of 1/250 or less I was having to pan to get the action, this introduces movement and can grab some really dynamic shots. The games last twenty minutes though were mainly spent with scrums and not too much attacking play, plus the temperature was dropping and my fingers were like blocks of ice!

Next home game is on the 23rd January against Ealing, hopefully it will be a bit warmer then.
