It starts again...

At last, its time, the season starts this weekend.

What ?

The rugby league season of course, my game of choice, for viewing that is.

Tonight sees the World Club Challenge, a made-up invention of a trophy which in theory should have the ultimate status in terms of club rugby league, its played between the last seasons British Superleague Champions and the Australian NRL Champions, in fact its viewed as an almost meaningless friendly by most supporters of the game (apart from those supporters who's team win) but its a great curtain raiser for the start of the Superleague season next week.

Also this weekend is the first round of the RL Challenge Cup and Bramley are competing at home to Thatto Heath, we won't go into the complications of explaining which leagues the respective teams play in, suffice to say that all the teams in the challange cup at this stage are amatuer, with the superleague teams joining at round three.

So there we are, bottles of beer are currently chilling in the beer fridge for tonights World Club Challenge on Sky Sports and I'll be wrapped up on Sunday for the short trip to Stanningley and more beer and rugby on the hill watching Bramley - with a bit of luck I'll even get to see the bench coats that I sponsored last year (which idiot uses his company money to sponsor insulated bench suits to keep the substitutes warm in a summer game ?) - (me, thats who, it seemed like a good idea at the time).
