Game 10 - Win 3-1

Now you know! I am motivated by pure self interest. That is right, make me a forward (second time!) and a midfielder (first time!) and i will post immediately, keep me on d, and will do my usual exceptional best, although d is the most important position especially with our lineup which includes of course me, meg, connie, gill, sarah, donna, and a host of others! Send me on holiday, and well, mum is the word other than bragging about cool cafes in mtl and such on email. So there you have it! At least I am honest!

Now for the game, if we take a theoretical actor network (ANT) analysis, the weather is considered an actor, and well, let me tell ya it was special! Here is the data from Environment Canada

The High:

30.5°C

The Low:

17.5°C

Precip. Total:

19.2 mm

As for precipitation, it happened in the 2 hours we were on the field, and the rain drops were a centimeter in diameter and the lightning in the Carleton Place sky magnificient! At least this time there were no tornados and other teams in the city played, unlike the last time this happened! There are no measures for the mosquito/to no rain ratio, but lets say, the rascals snacked through our socks for goodness sakes! The most striking element of the weather though was the wonderful trail of droplets behind our feet as we ran, dang, it made us looked like we had wings on our feet! There were also the great slides for the ball by their keeper, the stretching of our shoes, and donna wanting to play in skins! I think it also drowned my camera :(

Now we played the great CPSC Rangers WR5 who were all in their late teens and early twenties w/out one token mature womyn! We of course won 3-1 and was it ever a fun game. We had 3 subs, they had 10. We subbed sparingly they frequently. So according my mathematical machismo - we were the equivalent of the Canadian U19 National team!

• i went to quinns wearing my underpants - literally! Cuz nothing else was dry.
• Lui (the philosopher, cheerleader & critic), gave us a great lesson on Nagaland at quinns.
• Lui, also gave us the fergus play by play, namely, he demo'd fergus' body language as he observes the players on the field! Hilarious!
• Connie was workin' friggin' hard as sweeper! that is a really scarry job
• Have i said that i was both a midfielder and a forward yet!
• They were making an offside net for us that we got caught in on numerous occasions! Shame i do not know the offside rule!

• Hannah is back
• Michelle was rockin'
• Jen was solid as usua
• Ahsley fast as usual
• aks Cindy about her mishap and why she had to leave the field really fast at one point! Hilarious! A technological design failure and well i think the makers should be notified ;)
  
• Karen the keeper had some magnificient saves - some were like football fumbles - exciting!
• Virginia was great!
• Coach fergus was great - he did the subbing just like they do in the world cup, and played us in not typical positions, which gave us a chance to try new stuff!
