Dancehall CoNNect Shellingz 2014 'Spring Edition'

The Dancehall CoNNect Spring Edition went down on April 5, 2014 @ Club Moments. For certain reasons I arrived late and couldn't stay too long but I enjoyed the brief time there and met some lovely people. The vibe was very good as King Ralph was playing the latest in Reggae and Dancehall and I got to dance with my camera a little bit too! :-)

Rugby at Bremen 1860

I had my first experience of rugby on March 29 at Bremen 1860 when the DRV Cup game Bremen 1860 versus RU Hohen Neuendorf took place. You can view the event here on facebook. I was invited to come by my friend an colleague Samy and some other colleagues were also present to whitness 1860's 16 : 20 defeat against the visitors. As far as I know 1860 is now in 6th place and it will depend on how the other teams play where 1860 will be placed at the end of the season.

I must admit that I had no idea about the rules so I looked them up prior to the game, in order to be able to anticipate a little bit of what the object was here. I did my best with my equipment to capture some moves but in the end I thought it best to stick to capturing the goings-on on the sidelines. The game is as fierce as I thought it was and there were quite a few injuries and even Samy had to go to hospital on the night because of some injury that was not visible to me after the game.

I really liked the "round-up" after the game where the teams spent a while to discuss their moves and other details not related to the game - as far as I could make out. Altogether, it was a real nice spring day! The sun was shining so strongly, it felt like summer!

Update: Here are some great photos from my friend shot with a longer lens. :-)
