Caption from metadata for 535-2267-1: "A player for the Twilighters rugby club seems a little confused by the weather as their match in the Over 40s rugby tournament at Burnaby Lake Fields was plagued by three hailstorms."
Caption from metadata for 535-2267-3: "Phil Narod, 75, isn't afraid of tangling with the younger players of the Twilighters Rugby Club, although, he says, he plays a "more strategic game," as he can't keep up with them."
