My indoor football team bounced back from our crushing
defeat last week with a 6-2 victory this morning. The game was a closely fought
encounter, but our bigger squad paid dividends - we were able to rotate our
players on and off more often, meaning that we had far more left in the tank
late on.
I was very happy with
my performance. Playing the first half in goal, I rolled back the years to the
days of kickarounds in the field behind my house in Somerset. I made a series
of flying saves that were reminiscent of those I used to make against my
friends back home in one-on-one games. With stinging palms I moved into the
outfield for the second period and latched onto an incisive pass to slot in the
goal that put us 3-2 up. Our whole team put in a much improved performance from
last week and by the end we were passing the ball around nicely. I am now very
optimistic about the rest of the season.
