Field of Mild Aspirations

Taking this picture as I walked up to the High School I didn't know I was capturing our pitch for the evening. We normally play at the other end of the pitches but for some reason tonight we were allocated the middle third of Pitch 2 in the picture. After last week's close game, tonight's was anything but. Our best player was late arriving and we were 0-5 before he joined us. We did get a goal shortly after, to avoid the 'granny' and were briefly competitive - I scored our second and then made the pass for our third - before our best defender got injured and had to go in goal. Considering his lack of mobility he made some great saves but anything that wasn't close to him was going in every time. Clearly the other team were enjoying scoring goals too much to notice the game had become one way traffic. We should really have attempted to re-balance the sides. Ah well, there's always next week.
