I caught the Cheetahs' team buss for a trip down to the home ground of Essex Exiles this week.

The Exiles have a great setup, nice ground, good flat 100yd pitch, food, programmes, mic'd up refs and a game announcer.

The game started fairly evenly matched with the Cheetahs going in to half time ahead. But the Exiles came out a changed team after half time and started ramping up their game, they won 34 - 20.

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'.
