W for Warming up to be Winners in the Quest to be Healthy

Young boys barely 15 years of age
Hezry a.k.a Kimie being one of them
Making a beeline to the training grounds
In the wee hours of some mornings
or every so often in late afternoons
To be where the action is

Dedication for the love of the game
The underlying motivation
That push them on!

Answering the call
In their own little ways
Enhancing community development
Actively participating in the vicinity
Preparing for the big games

has been into Rugby playing at Tight

  6. I'm glad someone wrote about sports. For kids, it is great learning give and take and prepares them for 'life'. So many advantages to these particular communities. Nice one, Frank.
