The Shane Webcke Shield is an annual carnival for under 10 rugby league teams and although it is supposed to be a fun event all about participation and enjoyment, that really only applies to the kids. The adults - some of them anyway - take it deadly seriously. Lucas's team competed in the carnival last weekend amidst torrential rain and vast expanses of mud. It was dirty, cold and miserable but only the parents complained - well we were standing in ankle deep puddles. The kids loved it as they had genuine reason to jump belly first into and then slide through mud puddles! The boys ended up winning the Duncan Waller Shield - the second tier prize - but if they'd won a lollipop they would have been just as happy.
