The new season kicked off 7 days after the disappointing final. Two surprises. 1. Not a huge surprise but we were promoted with the champs. 2. Our co-captain was back after a couple of seasons away.
We fell behind 2-0 early but settled and clawed back to 2-1 by the break. The 95 degree heat slipped away quickly as a storm cloud moved ahead, the ref whistled early so he could move the game along. We arrived on the field, our opponent took its time. The significance of this I explained to my team-mate is if lightning strikes and the ref has to call it we either replay the game or get a draw. If we kick off, then he calls it, we lose. The ref said yep, they are only hurting themselves right now.

Last weeks semi final was more tiring. I think I could have faced a
