Home game against GLASGOW!

Oh my, that was a fun game!

But first, let me say CONGRATULATIONS to the guys for their victory today against RGU!!! I hope you celebrate like crazy tonight, you deserve it! That's the perfect way to close the season: with a victory! You lads are great :D 

And now... TO THE GIRLS!
Game last Monday  was against Glasgow uni. Apparently, they were in 2nd place in the classification...but not anymore. In the away game, we lost terribly... (not by 30, that's for sure! Regardless what other people say) but also because if I remember correctly, only me and Bethany were the experienced ones, and the newbies hadn't had that much of practise yet. But you should've seen them on Monday! They did so well!
Glasgow started the game being ahead by two goals. Two GIVEN goals, thanks to our president and referee at the game: Giannis. He insists that they were legit goals but we all disagree... Then many other things he did wrong. These Greek people, what's wrong with them! :p
First two quarters were alright, defence was tight and harsh, but still some of their shots were lucky, so they kept scoring...
Third quarter they were knackered, couldn't swim that much and then last quarter... THERE WE WERE!! Fit as hell, swimming back and forth and shortening the difference in the score. We were staaaars!!!

Newbies dared to play hard, and fight for the ball. Hence Jeanne was called for Man of the Match. A practice in this team that I had never heard of, same as Dick of the Day. That title went to (Giannis unofficially, for his shitty refing :p ) KTG, aka Katie 'titanic' G. Reason: she was "defending" in 6, 2m away from the goal and all of a sudden... she was just diving! SINKING even! So of course, offender got the ball, shot... scored. KT denies the whole story, Kayleigh tries to excuse her, but Emma the goalie is on my side. And she's the goalie, so... she knows what happened.

Well, it sounds like we did all perfectly and obviously, it wasn't like that. We also made some mistakes, focused too much on the hole man and we were trying to fill that space so it became too crowded... and nothing could be done. Regarding technique issues, such as passing and such, some aspects can be improved, and they will be!

All in all, this game was our best game of the season. We lost 6-11, but we blame it a bit on one of the referees (last time I mention it here, I promise!) but considering how we ended the away game, this result is very positive and motivating. It's a pity that the season is about to end for us as well... only one more home game on Monday and last one on March 12th!

I've always been proud and happy to be part of this wonderful team, but after this game I feel even fortunate for having the chance to play my favourite sport with so outstanding people, especially these girls. They worked hard, they give their best and they are persistant, and here are the results. I'm pretty sure that next year will be their year. But sentimentalism is left for the last game of the season, enough of that by now!

There's only a couple of things to say:
