It only seems like five minutes ago when I was taking photos of Saints playing last year’s final home game of the season against Leeds. Today, as was the case last year Saints need to win to qualify for the play-offs. Given where we were at the start of the season, it’s a remarkable performance. And it’s made all the more remarkable when you consider we are still missing Tom Wood, Courtney Lawes, Calum Clark and Dylan Hartley.
I love these games – all the matches in the AP kick off at the same time, we always seem to need to do something, there are players to say goodbye to and the supporters get the chance to meet the players on the hallowed turf. Saints need to win and win well – Worcester have nothing to play for except pride. I am sure Richard Hill will want a performance but it is a great chance for Saints to get to the play-offs again. Sale Sharks look like they have done Saints a favour by fielding a team of all England qualified players – the youngsters will garner £80,000 for Sale and will need to step up to beat an in-form Harlequins.
I love taking photos at this time of year – the light is great, there’s lots to see and I tend to get carried away by the excitement. The cameras are going well – the D3 will be getting an annual service in the summer but beyond that it will be my internet presence that keeps me occupied. The site needs a tidy up and I really do need to get my Associateship sorted. Hey ho there’s always things to be doing!
Come on you Saints – let’s keep the roller coaster rolling!
