CRUFC versus Ealing

 As Chris was away for yesterday's match, I went along to photograph CRUFC's match against Ealing, a fully professional team. The result was as expected (17-52) but Cambridge managed three tries and fought hard.

Cambridge III v North Walsham II

 Yesterday's match was a bit of a challenge for CRUFC's third team playing a fairly local second team - ended up 10-52. It was also a challenge for me as my 100-400 telephoto has not yet dried out so I was using a shorter zoom and one not designed for sports/nature and they were playing on a pitch with a metal barrier all down one side.

Cambridge Exile versus Cottenham Renegades

CRUFC 3rd team beat Cottenham Renegades 26-10 in a very tough match played in cold rainy conditions. Here a set of action photographs in monochrome. which seemed to better represent the conditions!! There is a single colour shot at the end. All have been processed with Lightroom only making full use of  the new masking facilities eg select subject - a very powerful addition to the software.

CRUFC versus Richmond 2nd team

Cambridge Rugby Union Football Club beat Richmond's 2nd team 24-12 this afternoon - a good result as Richmond are in the league above and are a professional team. Played in the rain and a bit untidy but plenty of action.

After all the rain, it needed a pitch inspection to give the go ahead and certainly there will be a lot of washing needed as the mud took over. A hard-fought game and Cambridge delighted with the win.
