There was a lot of anticipation ahead of our first home game in 43 days. The weather has certainly changed since we were last pitchside at GCS, probably still balmy compared to what our northern friends are used to at Kingston Park. I hadn’t even arrived at the game before seeing the update that Benhard had pulled out during the warm up. He has been our stand out player this season and this was the game we were meant to finally click and get the win. Whilst having a pre game drink, I see Tom Pearson walk by with his arm wrapped up and fingers strapped, this day was getting worse. I’d hoped he was just being rested. Anyway, time to take a seat and let the fun begin. As I head down the steps I see a strapped foot resting on the back of my seat. Henry was in the audience alongside some of the other lads. There was time for a quick chat , turns out the timeframe of six weeks out I had read this week was wrong, very wrong. He’s out for 12 weeks. I never thought I’d say this but with all the bandaging I’d witnessed so far, the game would be a relaxing distraction.
