Tonight sees the start of the 2009 7-a-side Corporate Soccer League (Cape Town, Wednesdays, Season 1) and I’m itching (not literally) to get back on the field so that I can be all screwed up in a ball of agony by this time tomorrow.
Your host taking on some rotund Italians last year
Things have changed a bit since that photo was taken. I’m probably very slightly slower, the Italians never returned after we beat them 2-0 and I had major surgery in October to remove the Let’s Play banner from between my shoulder blades.
Yes, this year will be a challenge: I’m older than I have ever been before and I haven’t kicked a football in anger since November. But you never forget how – it’s like riding a bike, albeit nowhere near as dangerous.
Doesn’t mean I won’t give it my all as usual, though.
Just means it’ll hurt more tomorrow.
(Check twitter [in sidebar] later this evening for a score update)
(Assuming we win)
(Otherwise I probably won’t bother)

So what is broke?

Emil > Actually not. Not sure how I’ve kept it, but I’ve kept it. (Ooh! I can feel your envy!) 🙂
Po > Still running a full systems check, but it would appear that I am relatively unscathed. Just mildly achy and stiff.
So how was it?

Goblin > It was fun. I ran around a bit and we won.
And then I drove home through Obs. Utterly terrifying.
Forza
Dear 6000 miles… readers.
The Ad Wizard scored our winning goal last night.
From almost a metre.
Well done him.
Shucks. It was no big thing, really. Any highly skilled, ruggedly handsome footballer could have done it.
Ad Wiz > But instead, it was you.
Congrats on the goal Ad Wiz! Was it a toe poke from a metre out? 😆 Glad to see you’ve come through unscathed 6000 and well done on the 2-1 victory! I’m going up against my gym mate on sunday so keep an eye out for mondays post 😆 If we win I may do it earlier, or stick it on Twitter 😆
Wiggy´s last blog post was: Mixed bag this weekend! (Note: 6000 miles… is not responsible for the content of external internet sites)
Wiggy > It was a bit of a toe poke. It trundled over the line. Just.
Will watch out for your score over weekend. Good luck.
