Proud Dad moments

Durham City Smiles are proud sponsors of the Durham City Colts, a rugby team my lad Jamie plays for. Durham City Colts have been featured in the Northern Echo Local Heroes section having won the County Plate, beating Hartlepool 43-0 to take the silver ware. and they also won their league this year. We then went on tour over Easter to Holland where the Colts beat Waterland Rugby and Rotterdam Rugby Club.

Jamie now claims he can say he’s played rugby at European level as he played the second half of the Rotterdam game for Rotterdam, as they were short of players. A few other lads donned the very fetching orange shirts to play for Rotterdam in a great exhibition of the spirit of Rugby Union, and a great game ensued with both players and spectators having a good time, and enjoying marvellous hospitality from our Dutch hosts at both clubs.

My daughter ‘Bexy has been playing hockey for Durham City Hockey Club, and last Sunday they won a tournament against Billingham and Hartlepool hockey clubs. Durham beat both sides convincingly, and Bex and her team mates received T shirts in recognition of this. ‘

I’ve also have a new dog called Archie who joins our beloved Moby.
