My first football game

After weeks of hard training (Well, one hour a week on Wednesday afternoons for the last month) I finally ran out onto the Field of Glory - otherwise known as Malak Oval. I nearly scored two goals, but was denied by not being able to use my left boot on one occassion and my enthusiasm to keep runnng in a straight line, even though the goal wasn't there on the other.

I think Dad is really mean to say that 'we looked like a flock of seagulls chasing a chip.'  Secretly, I think mum and dad were really proud of me.

We played the Italian team Azuri University this morning and no-one can remember the result, mum says it was 1-1 but dad said it was 2-1 to the other side.  Either way it was great fun for mum and dad as well as me and our team, the mighty Casuarina Rowdies.
