This week Sandria is our guest blogger, leaving me to provide the supporting visual footage from the match. I couldn’t play due to injury, but sideline supporting is a heap of fun – trust me – Mes won their opponents in fine style with a great final score 35 / 8 I believe. Below is Sange’s perspective from a players view point, great to have a report from the trenches. Enjoy the blog and enjoy the vid’s.
Peace Sylv
Yes, it’s still Monday but I know some of you wont read this until Tuesday but I’m here nursing my back with the ice-pack. No bed for me for a while!! hush, I say!!
Ladies, we did more than ‘well’. We were brilliant if have to say so myself!! The ‘dead 7’ put on a show. Bad backs, bad hips and bad knees were the order of the day but we showed off and believed in ourselves the most of us are old but not cold!
We didn’t have both our gazelles but found a mother gazelle in the making. We knew our Dels had the skills but she pulled it out with her bad hip. We have to pray hard that she will be able to walk tomorrow! Both Dels and Rhirhi played like professionals and stopped the PLT from scoring in the 1st quarter. 2nd quarter saw Team MA relaxed a little and took our eyes off the ball letting them score 4. We had our talking to and fixed up let them get 1 in the 3rd. You guessed what happened next. Tired old legs was the next. They were happy to score 3. That made up their 8. Go Defence!! Good work
Well big hands for our shooters on the night! Miss Helen and Miss Verna were on fire. The talked to each other and scored like the days of old! Go Shooters. You were awesome!! Well that’s 4 down 3 to go! Babsy, Karla and myself chopped and changed and helped to keep the ball moving in the right direction. Wee did our best! Go centre court players! Only if we could turn back the clock and move a little quicker we would be unstoppable!
Again a huge thanks to our supporters. You surely made a difference. The encouragement from the sidelines, was indeed, needed at times. At the end of the 2nd half Team MA was nearly going to be playing with 6 but seeing you all standing there in the cold I just had to pull out all the stops and see it through.
Injured players, get well soon! If no one else needs you I do. Well that’s it for now! Ms Blogger can you ‘big up’ Team MA on the old blog site, please. If ever we deserve a mention is ‘now’
All, have a great week and see you Friday! Team MA, it’s not over. We have to do it all again on Monday against N7. ( not another ‘dead 7’, please! not sure, we can do it!!)
Easy ladies!!!
