Footy in the snow


To follow up from yesterday's article about the weather we have been experiencing, it turns out that Marty did have to play his football game in the snow. And usually where there's snow, the temperature is in the negatives.

For this round of the competition, the Limoux Grizzlies travelled north to take on Lescure. They were notified on the way up that it was snowing, but a decision was made to go ahead with the game anyway.

I got a text message from Marty two hours before the game to let me know that it was -1 and snowing. 

It was only just Saturday that we were talking about the incredibly unique experiences that we have had here, so I told him to try to take this experience in, as it may never happen again. 

He was quick to point out that it was an easy thing for me to say from the warmth of our home, and suggested perhaps it is an experience I would like to try...

But at the end of the day, the cold and the snow didn't slow him down. The Grizzlies won their game 62 points to 18, with Marty scoring five of his team's tries.

The snow is still falling today, so we will once again be braving the cold to enjoy this experience.
