Pace on Earth

The Boys In The Bright White Sports Car

This was our chariot for our weekend in Truro, so needless to say we had a good time.

We met up at the club at 5pm and the convoy left from there. We made it to Truro in time to check in to our no tell motel and then sped off to make our 10pm kickoff. Happily the game was delayed by about an hour. A little time to shake the driving rust off. It didn't work - we got beat the Mudmen of PEI in a 14 minute game that felt like an hour. We didn't deserve to win and that's all I have to say about that. I decided it best to drown our sorrows. So we did and the lack of cabs in the sleepy little hub city lead me to have a walk home long enough to sober up and catch MacDonald's breakfast as it started. Score! I slept in and woke up in time for our 3:20 kickoff. We rushed over only to find we were again delayed about an hour. This time we were playing St. Mary's and I opted to sit this one out and give the young bucks a shot. It didn't pay off and we lost again. And with that the rugby portion of the Truro 7's was over.

From there it was back to the hotel to clean up and hit the bar. But before that I met up with DT, RW and JC, who was in town covering the Warrior XC MMA showcase featuring Jonny "Showtime" Roscoe. I've seen Jonny fighting for years and I'm glad he's moved it inside the octagon. He lost his fight to Iraz Hadin in what was a very entertaining 3 round fight.

From there it was back to partying with rugby players. A typical Saturday night at Truro 7's; boys dressed up as girls and girls dressed up as naughty girls. I decided I didn't want to walk home this night and got a cab early.

I took in the finals and watched the Ottawa Irish women and men get waayyy to excited about winning Truro 7's. They must not have been told that the team that wins the party actually wins the Truro 7's. We didn't win either, based mostly on the fact that I had to walk home on Friday.

Good times as always though.

The drive home was not so fun though...I swear no one could see our bright white sports car in the whiteout on the way home. We kept our humour by playing this song on a continuous loop the whole time:

Pace out.
