These are some photos from the Nike World Masters 1998 sports tournament. I played rugby for the NW Bohemians, a side from Portland. Don't be foold by the 'Masters' moniker, it's for sportspersons (ugh, what a term!) who are too old to participate at the highest level of their sport, but who still want to be involved. The age barrier is a minimum of 35 (so I easily qualify!), with groupings for over 40 and over 50 as well. We were playing in the over-35s section, although given my fitness level, skill level and practice I could have played in an older section and still be shown up...

| The NW Bohemians and the Chicago Ants after the game. We won 11-5, although only after our full back tackled their man right on the line, turning him over so he couldn't ground the ball, a superb piece of play. I'm in the front, to the right, in the blue and green. |

| Matt, our Australian coach, throws the ball into Dexter, with Puppy waiting at scrum half. |

| The ball coming out of the scrum, with us moving into the attack. I'm nearest the camera on the left. I know I'm a bit far up, but at the speed I go I'll be in just the right position soon! |
|
| And this is what it was all about. Pity it wasn't a gold medal, but silver is still not a bad achievement. The next games are in Australia in 2002, I wonder... |
