...and they did. Northampton Saints 27 Exeter Chiefs 21. We had a great afternoon today. These guys are huge, and we had front row seats for the game which was brilliant. More than once the ball came flying towards us as Saints slotted over 3 penalties and a conversion in the first half to take a 16-9 lead.
This may be a game for men with odd shaped balls, but the Saints continued to control it in the second half, adding a further 11 points without reply, before Exeter found their own form and made the last 10 minutes interesting as they scored 2 tries of their own. Thankfully it was all a bit too late, and we held on to the win.
Quite apart from the game of course, I was excited to see the job that they had done with the programme. Bloody great actually, and 13,296 people there today to see it!! Here's hoping just a few are encouraged to donate. Huge thanks to Chris Wearmouth & Sian Haynes at the Saints for providing me with the coverage. Anyway, I think thats quite enough watching other people exercise for now, tomorrow it's back up the hills, and next weekend I have an appointment in Scotland as we head off to the top of Ben Nevis....I'm really looking forward to that one.
