Our final football game of the weekend was between Burke Catholic and Chester. This was another parent requested game, but since both Loretta and I attended this one, I had some time to shoot extra images of some of the other players.
It was an extremely windy day since Hurricane Earl had just moved through – essentially making our 300mm lens into an umbrella at times! Thankfully, it was in short burst, so it didn’t make shooting as bad as I thought it would have been.
Both Chester and Burke Catholic played hard in the opening minutes of the game, not letting the ball get very far. Just after half time, Burke grabbed the lead but an unfortunate penalty gave Chester the opportunity to capture it back. As the final moments of the game counted down, Burke was given the chance to even the score or beat Chester with a two point conversion. With only a few seconds left, the final toss for Burke landed short and secured the win for Chester.
