Footie: Games Fourteen and Fifteen

[przed]

Another late footie post, due to camping, recovering from camping, compiling my film fest sked, prepping for BistoCon and attending BistoCon. (The con seems to be going well. People are enjoying themselves! There have been no disasters...so far! There is mucho talk of Pros!)

There's two games to report on. The first Ros and I missed due to the above camping, but one of our dads took over. We only had seven kids show up, which meant we only had one sub, but apparently the kids played really well and kept it tied up until virtually the last second. At which point (as several moms were eager to tell me) our goalie stopped the ball and was holding it, a member of the opposition kicked her elbow, our goalie dropped the ball and the other team kicked it in. I'm still not quite sure how the ref let them kicking our goalie go, but I'm just happy we were competitive and they didn't blow us out.

Tuesday's game went more our way. Ros was strong in goal in the first half and didn't let anything in, and we managed to score. In the second half, our second goalie let one in, but then we managed to get the winning goal in and our goalie held strong for it. And enjoying (I hope) the game from the sidelines was moonlightmead, who was visiting on her way to BistoCon.

One game left in the regular season! Which makes me both sad and relieved.

Kicking a goalie's elbow???? Not on - unfair!!!! And you are at Bisto Con :::sigh:: give everybody waves and hugs from me and take one for yoursşef. I will get to the next one, and in the meantime you have to write up a fabuous Con report, okay??

Had I been at the game, I would have had a quiet word with the ref. But even given that call, we're still top of the league, so I really can't complain.

BistoCon ended up being fab, and we have committed to doing it all again in two years, so I hope you can make it then. (I'm afraid it will have to be pretty much the same weekend, or perhaps a week earlier, due to various other obligations, so I'm not sure if it will overlap with your teaching.)
