On March 7 2015 I go to line up with the Cambridge Aussie Rules Football team against Oxford, and take part in the longest running Aussie Rules fixture outside of Australia.
Cambridge and Oxford fight for the ball
Cambridge had been nearly ten years without victory, and this sunny afternoon brought about change in emphatic style. We dealt Oxford a pummeling they won't soon forget winning 7 - 13 - 55 to 3 - 4 - 22.
Victorious Cambridge!
I was placed on the wing and was extremely excited about my spot in the midfield, but unfortunately my contribution was next to nothing. Four or five possessions and only two disposals, of all the games I played this season this was extremely disappointing.
Working hard for no reward.
I made a few tackles, but nothing of note barring a huge bump at the start of the match, and big tackle that stopped an Oxford breakaway as I was heading to the bench. Oh, and a lot of running.
Don't worry coach, I can do this all day!
In the end though what matters is the urn, and now it has returned home wearing the Cambridge blue!
Charles ready to escort the urn back to the clubhouse!
