It's reached make or break time for the Cheetahs, with 2 losses, they can't afford to lose any more games if they wanty a shot at the playoffs this year.

Their 5th game of the season was at home against the Colchester Gladiators. The Glads have started late this year and this is only their third game of the season, coming off two wins.

The Cheetahs struggled to put points on the board, despite the Gladiators insistence on giving away penalty yardage. The Gladiators ran out winners 34 - 17.

All shots taken on the Canon 1D MkIV with Canon 600mm F4 & Canon 5D MkII with Canon 70-200L f2.8, 300 f2.8 and 24-105mm f4.

Please don't rip off my photographs & post them all over Facebook. If you want a pic, ask. If you are asking for copies of the shots I need to know the filename, which will be "sport-xxxxx' where x is a number, not 'pic 23 page 3'.
