przedIn spite of record-breaking heat today, we had a pretty good game. We played a team of bigger, faster, more aggressive kids (they kept committing fouls on each other, forget our team) and we managed to keep them to a draw, 2 - 2. Yay!
Also yay for Ros really getting in there and doing a fab job. She was getting into the scrum and regularly turning the ball when the other team got it, and in spite of overthinking the dribbling during the practice, she didn't during the game and made a couple of nice runs down the field with the ball.
Now if I can just get them to do a bit more passing in front of the net, I'll be happy.

Definitely yay for Ros getting stuck in. She's finally almost back to where she was at the end of last year.
