I arrived early enough for a few kms along the Prom: I love a flat run on a decent surface. I don’t mind a hilly run, and I don’t mind an off-road surface, but it’s nice to treat yourself once in a while.
And then I headed into the best game of football I’ve played in for quite a while. A full-on, tight, energy-sapping battle of attrition, with chances few and far between, and in which we had our backs to the wall for a lot of the time, with fewer subs (1) and some challenges with our… “quite advanced” age.
But those are the best games to play in, and they are the best games to win.
Which we did. 3-1.
I am – obviously – quite broken today, but as the team President pointed out, it was completely worth it.
He didn’t play, though, so he can still walk.
That was the last game of this season, and my legs will be happy to take a break next Wednesday, before we head back into battle for the next 10 weeks.
But this was a good one to go out on.
More like this, please.
