Netball – Not Just A Cheap Perve

<blog=”

Just a quick one to let you all know how the latest mixed netball season went. Well. Went through the entire normal season only losing one game (with only 5 players on the court because Steph & I were in QLD and Chunky was being a dick). Cruise through the first semi against the other team (which contains some of very favourite people) and were all set for the Grand Final showdown with the trouble team. Last year the same team bundled us out of the semi. This year it was the Grand Final rematch. We had taken them earlier in the season, winning by about 8 goals.

So the game starts, Steph puts me, most unfit guy on the court and professional smoker, in centre, the position which requires the most running. We get off to a bit of a bad start, but its nothing out of the ordinary for us. The game was close the whole way through, biggest margin being 4 goals halfway through the second (their way). We go into the last quarter 3 goals down, getting ready for the big comeback. But the spark just didn’t catch. It seesawed a bit, we brought it back to level, but then sloppiness on everyones part brought it all undone again. And then it was over. We had lost by 3, 16-13. We had choked in the most important match of the year.

So we drowned our sorrows and some of us smoked a whole lot of smokes. Now we will have to wait 12 months to have another crack.

On the plus side though, Kayla’s team, Kelly’s Phat (how nice), won their final and Kayla, my personal hero for the week,got MVP for the match. The really special thing about the win is that they were down a player for the entire match.
