Yesterday me and some of the rugby boys took a trip into the middle of nowhere to do some crutching for a farmer who was going to pay the club for our efforts, keeping our season membership at a reasonable price.
By the time we got there all the sheep were inside so we got straight down to work. I was 'dragging', which meant going into the smaller pen and man-handling a sheep out to the shearer who shaved a little patch around their bum and lady bits, then booted them down the porthole back outside. I don't think I've ever sweated so much in my life.
We were aiming to do 3000, but due to a bit or rain recently we only got through 1000, making about $500 for the club. We had a good feed and a few drinks afterwards then it was back to Ohakune for tea time.
Lats weekend we had out first pre season game against Wanganui Pirates who we beat 50-35. I managed to get over the line for a try and kicked 5 goals so good all around. Our first league fixture is a week on Saturday at home to Taihape.
