As the Duke of Wellington said on another occasion, "It was damed close run thing" by the look of the score.

We lost our first match in 2 years and now we lost to Fort Worth last Saturday in the freezing rain blizzard conditions 7-0. That is two games in a row losing and I have to change players diapers and wiping away the tears. Losing hurts when your not use to it but hell move on...Moving on to the next game regardless if we make it to the playoffs. .·.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.·.Amethyst Lodge No. 2, Orient of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Isis Lodge No. 3, Orient of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma...A.F.H.R.

Overall a fairly unexciting 6 nations - well done to France on a Grand Slam tho. Next year - Wales turn again!
