Hi Lumlum,

Sorry to hear that your have pulled a muscle. I don't think it was a stupid way of getting hurt. It could of been loads of factors that caused it. My own feeling as I do play a lot of rugby in these conditions is that it was more than likely that your muscles got cold causing them to be less springy and stretchy. With the suddern jerk of movement because you lost your footing and the muscle being cold caused the injury. It happens to the best of players.

As regards to shoes then I wouldn't buy off ebay as your should really try them out because the last thing you want is uncomfortable shoes when walking the course.

Hope you get better for springs GTO comp

Cheers
Mark
