After May included physical attending return to RL, June saw the first football/RL physical attending weekend since Mar 2020 while Sport overtook Gaming as the focus for the first time this year.
Sport
Football wise, physical attending resumed with Skem U beginning pre-season on the road in a 2-0 loss at Stockport Town with more planned for July both home and away.
Physical attendances continued in RL with a slight delay as the away trip to Huddersfield was cancelled due to a COVID issue with Hudds. A first physical home game at the DW Stadium came with mixed joy as the happiness of being back was dented by an 18-8 loss to Hull Kingston Rovers and was followed by virtual away loss of 14-6 to Wakefield Trinity. The wait for a home win would sadly extend into July due to a humbling 40-14 defeat to Warrington Wolves on the 30th.
The women continued their perfect start to the WSL season with a 22-8 win over Castleford Tigers Women and was the only action due to the derby against St Helens Women being cancelled due to COVID issues for the Saints.
Life
The Countdown Weights reached 118/119 per round as the month ended with the next milestone of 350,000 lifts reached on the 2nd with June itself becoming the second best month of all-time (37728) behind the 37864 of March.
Updating on the friends front, more exits of short-term ones and despite reaching the wonderful 2 year Friendiversary with my long-term friend, our connection has lessened with her message/post replies becoming fairly rare. The main positive is a new friend who is based over here and hopefully will become a long-term connection.
Gaming
The gaming boost continued with a reduction unlocks wise due to more time being spent on games rather than the usual carousel but still a decent total of 114 for the month and as always more details can be seen in the Xbox Achievement Adventure June Summary.
As the month has seen a mix of home and being out and about, highlights below are boosted by some adventures.
