In the butt that is.
We had a friendly game with some spritely young university students today.
Man! They beat us up and down the field. Within the first 20 mins, we were already 2 goals down. The 2nd was actually my fault. I was defending a corner at the near post, the ball came towards me, and somehow, I kicked the ball into the ground and it then it bounced back to hit me in the arm. Penalty!
I guess that was the luck of the draw, it wasn’t intentional but the referee saw it that way and gave the penalty which the other team duly put away without any fuss.
The first goal was actually a sprung offside trap which the referee failed to notice and let play go on.
We came back in the 2nd half and tried to claw back the 2 goal deficit but unfortunately, within the first 5 minutes, we let in an own goal. Oh well, I sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose (very badly).
The knee is still holding up quite well and *touch wood* it has not given me any problems yet. Now it is time to do a run to see if it will hold up in a asphalt pounding session. We’ll see how that goes.
Met up with the wife and her girlfriends for a really good pepper crab dinner and a nice hangout session. Now, I am going to rest my weary bones and to prepare myself for the weekend that is coming up, lots of interesting stuff coming up.
Enjoy your weekend all……
