Derby Day!!

Jake went to his first Hull derby with Grandad Brian today. They left at the pub opening times, so Grandad could have a pint with his breakfast and set the mood for the day. Apparently the topic of conversation for most of the morning was football, as Brian's friend is from Stoke and Jake's new adopted team is Manchester United. (That just wouldn't be allowed if they had come on a rugby outing with me; but I suppose that is just the difference between the codes.)

They didn't have any breakfast before they left, so a big fry-up was their first call. Jake had the big breakfast, but his eyes must have been bigger than his belly because he didn't finish it.

Unfortunately, the result did not go the way of the Hull FC, but I think everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. For the neutral at home it was a great game, but our house is black and white so the mood was somewhat sombre.
