Longing for the day ...

Goal 1 down. Goal 2 just beginning ...

Well, last weekend I played touch for NTRA QLD over-35s against NSW in Coffs Harbour. This was the achievement of the first physical goal I set myself at the start of the year. Actually, we smashed NSW in both games: 9-1 in the first and 8-1 in the second, which was unexpected but rather pleasing.

I was also selected to play for Australia against New Zealand in Rotorua in September. This represents the start of my second physical goal for the year. I will have to manage some injuries and raise some funds if I'm to achieve it. My left ankle came through the quagmire at Coffs intact but sore.

But I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge and hope to get there when it counts!
