Last week he was played inthe U13d team against Waverley . He played well and was promoted to the U13c team, which faced the U13b team from Joey’s (even though the majority of the teams were playing Cranbrook ) It was an away game for Knox, which meant we headed out to St Joseph’s College at Hunters Hill . The boys played well, and weren’t totally disgraced in the result (57 to 0) While at the game, I spoke to some of the dads on the sidelines. One of the dads had gone to school at Joeys. We chatted a bit more and found out he went to school with Iain McDonald - small world! Next week, I am taking Billy to see the Wallabies meet England . Hopefully this will inspire him [listening to: In Heaven - Fatboy Slim ] 5:08:54 PM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • Family © Copyright 2006 Frank Arrigo.
