Sunday Downpour

Sept. 20 - Rizal Stadium


Cats and Dogs
Tams, Eagles and Archers
[early afternoon and late afternoon snaps]


Scoot to the Rizal Stadium {a little over 2 pm} to cover the{ Ateneo vs UST} Battle for Third Place {PFF Womens' Invitational Cup} and the Battle for Gold {DLSU vs FEU}. 




During the Ateneo-UST match, the weather is fine - BUT during the last few minutes of the 1st Half of the {La Salle vs FEU} Championship Match - the erstwhile dark clouds simply let loose a Sudden Downpour, taking everyone by surprise. 



Notice how huge the droplets are !  [photo above and below]


The match officials let the Archers and Tams play out the remaining minutes of the Half [might as well - no?] - but as the halftime whistle is blown - Athletes and officials, refs, and ball boys - [a crew of medics attending to an injured Tam, on a strecher] - Everyone is literally sprinting for cover !


 Last to exit the pitch -
 -  a crew of medics [attending to an injured FEU lady booter] and 2 refs 
--  taking it nice and easy


For about an hour and a half  [it's raining cats and dogs] - athletes, officials, the media - the modest crowd --- [even exiting the stadium to buy merienda, is a sure way to get drenched] --- everybody simply waits the downpour out.

 Just so happens that a vast majority of my athlete FANS, -->{Friends And AcquiantanceS} are Ateneans and La Sallites -  ergo - these snaps at the gallery section while it was pouring  ......

FYI
I haven't released any images yet,  from that Saturday UAAP Doubleheader at the MoA Arena.   Honestly, It IS just that way sometimes - I can't seem to get myself to choose images, have the right words "pop outta my head"  / "put a spin " to put a context/spin on my post  - and all.
No, No, No --NOT that I Don't have images [Action AND Behind-the-Scenes !] to share [from Saturday] - I DO Have a Lot, Mind You !  

 Ayoko lang Ipilit I-Post - Ganoon lang ako talaga minsan - OK ?
 No Worries - I'll find  away to blend in my images from Sept. 19, Saturday - one way or the other - with the "flow" of this blog.

Maybe - I just had so much fun, last Sunday - so many Unexpected things happened -
that I had this urge to share my images, even before working on my blog post on the earlier Saturday UAAP games.
