Longing for the day ...

Coming second

Played in the Pan Pacific Masters Games touch football tournament at Southport last week. Came second out of six teams in our division. Considering that we're a ragtag bunch who play together only occasionally, that's a pretty good effort.

I was horrified when I went to play the final, looked up at the oppositino starting line and every one of them was a State or National Repersentative player from Touch Football Australia. Those guys are hard-core. They live, eat, sleep, drink and breathe touch football, train very seriously and are fantastically good at what they do. We played them twice and got beaten 5-2 (2-2 in the second half) and 5-0. I reckon that's not bad for a bunch of part-timers.

Happy with that - now if only the soreness would leave my ageing body ... :-)
