Wish me luck

A win is still a win, Dad.

Was happy with the win Win. :-)

Oz. no slide tackles. I used to love them too.

Everything else as far as tackles is okay.

You cannot play the ball when you are on the ground However you can slide for a ball if nobody is around. One time I slid to reach a cross and diverted it home. It was allowed because nobody was close to me.

They look good but gee the timing has to be perfect. I can see how legs can break and ligaments can rupture.

A slide on the ball sending it to the back of the net would be a pretty cool feeling.

I've just slid a few times. It's not graceful.

I was just thinking about a goal I scored when I was 19, this morning.

Straight from kick off the ball went to the wing. This kid, last Stephens all I can recall crossed into the middle. I launched myself through the mud with the defender and diverted the ball home.

I ran over to my coaches to celebrate, the entire team was looking pristine in all white and I was head to foot in mud.

I played pretty useless the rest of the game, think we drew 1-1 and I was probably subbed.

That's great effort Statesie.









To remember 65 years ago, maybe you aren't that old.

So I missed last weeks game due to a stomach bug. I got to last nights game & ran into a work colleague watching the ongoing games. She said I hear Atomic is doing well. I said yes, I missed last week and they won 7-2 I read. She said that the score they put down. Heard it was worse than that.

I met my team-mates and apologized for missing the game. But you didn't need me I said. Chris says "last week? Oh that was awful. We went up 5-0 quickly and they stopped trying. But you only won 7-2. No it was more like 16-2. Hey Will, was it 16-2 last week?"

Will thinks then says no more than that. At least 22-2.

This was against a rival the old Atomic struggled with.

We played a new team this week. They had 2 really good players and a few new players that weren't good at all. The team actually took it easy winning 8-3. We gave up another last minute goal. This could come back to bit us in closer games.

Atomic have won 2 titles, but have never been this good. They will most likely pro

Going well did you get any game time?

[stateside]

We pay, so I'd better get some. I got an assist.
