"Putting the Baby to Bed" & "Taking the Plate" @ Bele Chere....

This past weekend marked the annual Bele Chere Rugby tourney in Asheville/Hendersonville. I rolled into town on Friday where I spent the day visiting w/ a couple of very special old friends that I'd not seen in awhile and roaming around "The Whee". Wow has it changed. It's almost distressing. Anyway, Friday night I enjoyed a relaxing dinner & good conversation then early to bed for an early morning start to what would end up being a full day of awesome rugby.

On Saturday, play kicked off @ Jackson Park in Hendersonville where several NC rugby teams played some AMAZING rugby. Congrats to Eno River Men & Southern Pines Men for their big wins and to my Charlotte Mayhem Ladies for taking the women's bracket! I'd also like to give a shout out to the NC Nightingales (motley team of lady ruggers) who beat ass in the boat race! Nicely done ladies! And a special get well wish to Angelica who broke her leg & tore some stuff up in her knee.

I think it's safe to say fun was had by all. Thank you to Asheville RFC for a great tourney. Below is a pic of Eno River after "putting the baby to bed" and "taking the plate"!!!
