Tea Cups

Once upon a time in England it was customary for players and coaches to enjoy a cup of tea at half-time in their changing room. Trust the British to enjoy a "cuppa" instead of a something that actually give their team a energy boost or jolt like an espresso or oranges! Anyway, if the team was playing badly often the coach (or manager, as they call their coaches) would smash the tea cups to demonstrate how "disappointed" he was in their first-half performance.

I didn't have any tea cups to smash, or for that matter a change-room to do it in, but from our excellent performance in the second-half I'm guessing the Chaos received something of a jolt from our half-time talk! We emerged for the second half with the intensity and desire we lacked in the first half and scored nine goals. It's not about how many goals your score, or whether you win, but the sheer volume of goals would indicate we didn't apply our selves all that much in the first thirty minutes. And that's all Doug and I can ask for - for the girls to apply themselves to their maximum ability every game.

So thanks for proving me wrong ladies :-)

Goalscorers came from all quarters today and some happened so fast that the official score recorder might have got some of these wrong, so here goes: Robyn 2, Jadyn 2, Maggie 2, Mara 1, Sydney 1, Kathleen 1 and McKenna 1. Is that it? If not I'm sure I'll hear about it on Thursday.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and remember to vote on which tournament you want to enter. It appears we have reached consensus on which one, but we want to hear from everyone.

Never to early to get the girls hooked on civic responsibility!!
