Adam and his fellow Pally Rugby players had the great honour of forming the tunnel on the oval for the Western Force to run on to the pitch. It was terribly exciting for these little rugby players to be standing in the middle of the packed stadium and coming so close to the state's heroes. To crown the glory, it was Nathan Sharpe's final home game and there was lots of celebrating. Adam was given the commemorative cap by a spectator and he had the grand opportunity of getting the souvenir programme autographed by the retiring giant.
Sadly the Brumbies trounced our boys but it didn't take away from the thrill of being one of the little players who played a match at half time in front of the crowd.
Rob was in a corporate suite (of course) so saw Adam's excitement at close range. Russell, Hugo and I cuddled up on the couch and caught a fleeting glimpse of him as the Force took to the field.
What fun and sheer joy for these little chaps. This will be a day Adam will remember for a very long time. The dismal score is already long forgotten.
