On fire

Football tonight was excellent. We played our best game yet. There were only the five of us, so no subs, and so had to play the whole thirty minutes, which was a killer, but in the end it worked out. True, the team we played weren't up to the standards of the teams we've played in the last two weeks, but they still could play a bit and didn't roll over. We just kept it simple, played sensible football, passed the ball well, made sure we had cover at the back and finished our chances (something Grimsby Town need to learn to do at the moment!). The final score was something like 14-7. I scored four, maybe five. The new season starts in a couple of weeks (they have three or four seasons a year, I think) and tonight certainly gave us a boost. We're aiming for mid-table mediocrity!

Speaking of football, a guy in the IT department at work asked me if I fancied playing some 11-a-side during the summer for a team he plays in. I was well up for it, despite not having played 90 minutes of competitive 11-a-side for many a year, but unfortunately they play on Tuesday evenings, so it clashes with the bible study group. Which is a shame.
