Belmont Shore Women's Rugby vs Tempe

Yesterday was a beautiful day to simply be outside, so I checked my various schedules to see who was active and found that the Belmont Shore Women's Rugby team had a game against Tempe at Hill Middle School, so I got my stuff together and headed out.

It was great to be out shooting and a great game to cover.  I've been shooting the Belmont Shore Women's Rugby team for a few years now and always enjoy watching them play.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite shots from the game.

Belmont Shores Women's Rugby vs Tempe

Its been quite some time since I've been out covering a rugby match, so when I found out they were having a local game this past Saturday I just had to get out there to capture them in action.

 

I have to say I totally misjudged the method I would use to shoot.  I tried to stay with the action and as a result missed most of it.  Hopefully I will get another chance to get out and cover a game.

 

Here are my favorites from the game.

 

Women's Rugby

  This past Saturday I was able to shoot some women's rugby.  Now r)ugby is a tough sport to play and I give these ladies all the credit in the world for getting out there and playing.

I've been covering the Belmont Shores women's rugby team for a couple of years now and heard they were having a game at Cal State Long Beach.  So as I normally do I arrived early and I'm glad I did as I saw that Cal State Long Beach has started a women's rugby team and they were having a practice game against USC.  Now from what I understand USC didn't have their jerseys so they borrowed jersey's from CSLB (White jersey's).  I made contact with the coach, who used to coach and play for the Belmont Shores team and hopefully I'll get prior notice to future games so I can come out and shoot.

The first few shots are from the CSLB vs USC game.

This next set of shots is from the Belmont Shores game as they played against the Seattle Breakers.  Belmont had a rough game with the breakers and only had a couple of drives towards the end zone, making it a hard game to get them in action (more defensive).

Below you will find several shots from that game.

7's Rugby Tournament

 I attended a local 7's rugby tournament put on by the Women's Belmont Shores Rugby team at El Dorado Park this past Saturday.

After all the wildlife shooting I've been doing it was great to get out and shoot some sports.  Not only was it nice shooting sports, or even rugby, which I have covered for two years now, it was a great morning to be out.

Although I've done some shooting for the Belmont Shores Women's Rugby team in the past, for this tournament I was basicly out for me and wandered around from game to game capturing some action and just getting back into some good old sports shooting.

So take a look and let me know what you think. 

Belmont Shores Women's Rugby

This last Sunday I had the opportunity to shoot some women's rugby. I have been capturing these girls in action during the last two years and it's always a pleasure to watch them and capture the intensity in which they play. During this game Belmont Shores played against Las Vegas.

Although the clouds were somewhat dark and looming it was a great day to just be outside shooting, I couldn't have asked for a better day. Here are my favorites from the game.
