On Saturday I went to Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to see the Sydney Swans vs Essendon in the Australian Football League (AFL).A slightly baffling game, played over four quarters which is a cross between gaelic football and rugby league. Despite the fact there were at least four referees on the pitch rules seemed to go un-enforced and there were a number of unpunished off the ball incidents.
I'm not sure AFL is my game, but I'm looking forward to going back to the SCG to see a game of cricket in the summer.
We had a very pleasant post match drink at the Beresford Hotel in Kings Cross, which is a very funky pub.
aerial ping-pong Ritchie, it goes over my head as well.
ReplyDeleteI used to feel the same way but now I think it is the greatest game ever. That and Quidditch!
ReplyDelete@Tom - that is one of the better spam comments I have seen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard - I'll take that as a compliment - I think!
