Perth Races

Sunday was the second of three meetings to be held in July. I have been doing pretty well with coverage for the Evening Telegraph with two pages dedicated to my images so far. Lets hope I can make it a hatrick at the end of the month. As a side note I also blew the shutter on my 20D so need to buy/repair camera so every image used in the paper helps.

Perthshire Cup final

Some images from last night's Perthshire Cup final. I caught the last 15mins of normal time and the game then went into extra time. The final was contested by Letham and Roselea who are the top two teams in the Perthshire Amateur leagues. There was a lot of hostility between the two teams (think Celtic and Rangers without the money) and the game was eventually won 3-2 by Letham. Off to Blairgowrie tonight to photograph them winning the league title (hopefully)

Somehow Roselea manage to score direct from a corner kick despite a crowded 6 yard box.

Perth ladies win title

Perth Phoenix Ladies team clinched the Tayside and Fife Seniors title with a 67-59 win over their nearest challengers Arbroath Musketeers at Perth Academy on Wednesday night. The win capped a sucessful campaign which saw them go undefeated throughout the season.

Must be almost summer

I took time to shoot cricket for the first time yesterday. I was only there for ten minutes as my afternoon was already full with other jobs. The photographs give the impression it is a nice warm sunny day but there was a cold wind blowing. Still it makes me more optimistic warm days may be around the corner.
