Western force fans
Friday night, some of us from school organized an outing to the season opening game of Western Force, Perth’s very own rugby team. The match was in Subiaco, which gave us the perfect opportunity to visit this young and hip spot that neighbours Perth city.
Reaching up for the ball....can you see him?
Me and the girls at the gameNow, let me start this off by admitting that I know absolutely nothing about rugby. There is a ball that resembles the one used in the CFL, some of the players wear these very strange hats to protect their ears, and they all push on each other a lot. I went for the experience, and since the whole town seemed to be into the opening game, I was too.
We had a blast! Beer in hand and chatting with the Aussie crowd proved to be a lot of fun. The home team lost 8-7 to the New Zealand Highlanders, in case any of you are enthusiasts.
Afterwards we headed out in Subiaco for a late dinner and some drinks. Here’s the problem: none of us are used to drinking alcohol when it’s this hot out (it reached 40 degrees Celsius the day of the match). So we all end up ordering more water than beer, and so the night goes. But boy did we make up for it the next day…
