Army VS Navy Rugby: May Mayhem

It was a super busy month for NFF in May. At the start of May we went to the Army VS Navy Rugby at Twickenham, it was an amazing day. My father was in the Army (Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers REME) for 22 years and thus for most of my school life I went to Army schools in various places. The Army Navy Rugby is a fantastic opportunity to meet up with old Army and School friends from back in the day, even if you have no ties with the Army or Navy it's still an awesome day out, great food, great company and obviously some great Rugby. We got up super early, takes about 2 hours or so to get to Twickenham from Colchester and of course it's good to see people and have a catch up before the game. This year we decided to get the Regiment Bar wrist bands so my father could see more of his old buddies, definitely worth it if you can, smaller queues at bars and virtually no queues for loos!

The Rugby was really good and the Army smashed the Navy (as usual, sorry guys). I really enjoy Rugby and will start pre-season training soon with Colchester RFC, and seeing the skills displayed in the match on this day has really spurred me on. What's evident with myself is my acceleration and getting up off the floor needs to improve so unfortunately for me many burpees and HIIT to be done. 

So if you fancy a really awesome day out in May next year go and get yourself a ticket to this event from http://www.navyrugbyunion.co.uk/tickets and enjoy!
