Colchester Gladiators

Sunday saw the Colchester Gladiators travel to Crawley to play the Sussex Thunder. The day started bad when key players couldn't make the journey for various reasons and Colchester were informed they couldn't wear their blue strip.

The day was blistering hot and water was being consumed by the litre, and that was just the supporters.

Although Colchester put on a brave fight in hard conditions it was not enough to stop their first loss of the season. Of course I took loads of images which you can see here . I was trying out a mirror lens for some of the shots and whilst it gave the reach needed the quality was pretty poor to say the least.

For anyone who fancies a day out watching the team check out their web site www.colchestergladiators.com.
