Contact Sport

Alex hurt his right hand on Saturday when trying to mark another player. He was thrown onto the ground and his right hand bent back at the knuckles by 90 degress (ouch!). You can see him pointing out where his hand hurts and another boy looking at his hand too! I'm writing this on Monday and his hand is still very sore and he can't use it at all. I've put a bandage on it but maybe I should take him to a real doctor. The game was played in a mud bath and they lost by the 'mercy' rule which is when you are beaten by more than 50 (or thereabouts) you stop scoring. This has happened several times this season so they are a little dispirited.
