Touch update

Touch semi-final last night. We actually won. The last few weeks the women's team hasn't exactly been playing well. But this week we were on fire and won 9-0. I even scored a few times, although once I put the ball in the dead ball zone. BOO. What an idiot, but at least it was in a game where it didn't make the difference between winning and losing! Finished the game with about 3 more bruises, someone's finger marks on my leg and mud stripes up the side. We didn't have any subs and somehow I think that works out better because people work harder in some strange way. Well, the two boys who play for us (boys under 14 count as women in this comp) subbed with each other the entire game because the other team said they didn't want more than one boy on the field at a time, which is fair enough because they are pretty zippy! Too bad for them though cos they only played half as much as the rest of us. So next week is the GF for the bottom half of the ladder (that's definitely us), go Fruitcakes! Yeah, I LOVE our team name - every week the ref says to someone on our team captain, "You're a Fruitcake?" And we have to say "Yep!".

Meanwhile Thursday night mixed is going well, although it doesn't feel like it. We are in the GF too after beating the other uni team last week in an abysmal game. Games like that are just awful, where you feel like you haven't done anything and that everything is going wrong - the only reason we won was because the other team was playing just as badly. Hopefully we can step it up and knock off Henry's Drivers this week...
