Holker Carriage Driving Trials & Barrow Raiders v Keighley

Saturday was a busy day, I decided to cover the Carriage Driving Trials at Holker Hall then go on to the Barrow v Keighley game.
It was the first time I'd been to Carriage Driving Trials so was a bit of a learning exercise. I could get close enough to manage with my Sigma 70-200mm F2.8, the conditions were good and I managed to get a few shots for my web-site www.srmillerphotography.co.uk/Sport.html

After the Carriage Trials it was home for tea then off to the Barrow v Keighley game for the 6:30 KO. Again conditions were good so I got a few shots with the Pentax DA* 300mm before changing to the Sigma 70-200mm.
The Pentax 300mm can struggle to focus in bad light probably because it's F4, the F2.8 Sigma is considerably faster.
I was happy to have one of my photos published in Rugby League Express, this was taken with the Pentax 300mm early on when the light was good.

It turned out to be an easy win for Barrow on the day, 36-0 up at half time and going on to win 54-0.
