Martha, who is our Globalinks Residential
Coordinator, took our group to the Townsville Cowboys Rugby Game. This was my
first rugby game ever, and boy was it an experience. As we walked in, they
handed us headgear. The reason for this was because their captain, Johnathan
Thurston wears headgear, and is one of the only ones who do. So this was to
support him. The whole stadium had their headgear on.
The Townsville Cowboys were playing the
Sydney Sharks, and it was a great game. The Cowboys were up 19-18 with 18
seconds left in the game, when the Sharks tied it 19-19! It was very intense,
leading the game into overtime. About two or three minutes into overtime,
luckily the Cowboys scored and won the game 20-19! It was such a great time and
experience for my first Rugby game. I had a blast.
After the game, Martha told us that
Globalinks is giving her more money for our group, and she is thinking about
treating us to a day trip to Magnetic Island! That would be such a great trip
with the group.
