A great song and video, but what makes your perfect day?

Yesterday, not quite perfect (my daughter's U12s rugby team were beaten in the dying seconds of the game), but very close. Al Ain Amblers Under 16s squad, depleted by injury and players not being available, did a fine demolition job on Dubai Exiles A team (the premier U16s side in the Gulf), 19 - 5. Players, coaches and parents celebrated with a hoofing curry!

Our senior side then dismantled the 'French Frogs', 18 - 0. More celebrating, this time with beer!

So close!

Al Ain Amblers U16s played Dubai Exiles in the league final. AAA had already established themselves as the league leaders, with Exiles placed second.

The AAA team is coached exclusivley by former Armed Forces (HM, Oz and SA) chaps and a few of the players are sons of former Armed Forces chaps. My 11 year old daughter (plays scrum half for the under 12s) runs on with the team and our toy camel mascot.

At full time the score was level at 18 - 18 (our Fly half and captain kicked an amazing 35m conversion into the wind, seconds before the final whistle.

A further ten minutes was added (2 x 5 min halves). In the last minute of extra time Exiles drove over for a well deserved winning try.

A great day of youth rugby. Both teams played their hearts out. A few boys jogged onto the pitch and walked off as men.

Party back at the clubhouse to celebrate the last game of the season, then on to a BBQ for a friend's 40th.

A long old day. Not perfect, but not far off.
