Face off (6/52)

First time I've shot a sporting event that wasn't motor racing. It's much more tricky than it looks and I got plenty of exercise lugging my camera with the Sigma 150-500(AKA ICBM lens) up and down the pitch. Conditions were pretty rubbish, dark grey skies and sleet. So eventually I swapped to the 135mm for faster shutter speeds and to give my back a rest!

 

EDIT: Just realised I didn't actually say what the sport was! It was Brighton Blues Vs Deal & Betteshanger in the London and SE second division rugby.
