New Year's day Ba

Myself and Ruairidh went up to the Ba for a few hours (whilst the other two happily built a robotic arm). I spent a while wishing folk a Happy New Year and trying to see what was going on in the middle of the pack, whilst Ru enjoyed himself taking photographs of both the crowd and the game. He got some great one's of the Uppies men a as they walked to meet their opponents - shear determination on those faces, and just a touch of fear.

We didn't stay too long, left at the point when our fingers were numb and our stomachs were grumbling. That was around 2.30ish. At the time of posting, just after 5.45pm, the game's just finished. If you want to see more pics and read an account of the game have a look at the radio orkney facebook page

This pic was taken at the start of the game, just before the ba was thrown up on Broad Street at 1pm.

Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
