Sore
I was the goalkeeper for the entire game today as our sweeper was away. So our other goalkeeper I normally share that duty with played sweeper. For a while at least before heading off to center forward!
We were also 1 man short so no subs and I had to make save after save. I have a very sore thigh and knee from constantly diving, my right foot is partly cramped from all the goal kicks I took, and my right arm is bruised from saving a lot of balls. I had lots of fun. It drizzled a little right before the game which was good because the field would have been very dusty otherwise. It also meant that there were some puddles in the carpark afterward, and I was able to utilise one to do an impressive burnout on the CBR1100XX.
We ended up losing 4-2, and I was lucky not to have been red carded for a professional foul. I made a deliberate save (handball) well outside the box. Fortunately the ref only made it a penalty.
Last night my indoor team (without me as I was on a plane) lost 6-2 in the semi final. So once again we finish a season without winning the league. That's 10 seasons now, and we have made the finals 8 of those seasons and played in 3 grand finals so far without taking away the big one - maybe next time.
Then tonight we headed off to my mother-in-laws surprise 50th birthday. Page full of photos.
I built her a web site for her business, and she was very surprised to say the least.
Drop in to the shop and check out the awesome wedding dresses she makes. Also the very cute models include my daughter, sister-in-law and cousin-in-law.
