Second to last match. loss

So I haven't been able to get on a post in a while. Tom is gone and so is his laptop, which I could use to access wireless internet from my lounge for the last couple weeks. So now it's back to the library thing.

Last week we played Old Boys University. We had a very close match with them in the first round so i was looking forward to this game. First match we lost 12-13 I believe. And I didn't think too highly of them so i figured this would be our win.

I only played the first half b/c we have a fullback that came down from the senior firsts and my coach tried to get everyone play time. And if a player comes down or is asked to go up in the teams they are "guaranteed" game time. So I played the first half and did pretty average. I was really feeling the effects of being sick for a month and I could tell my body isn't back to form yet. I didn't do terrible but also did nothing great. I did my job in the first half concerning defense b/c they had the wind and they used it quite a bit. We were leading 10-6 at the half.

In the second half we didn't do much with the wind or offensively. It was killing me sitting on the sideline. We ended up losing the game 16-15 when they kicked a penalty kick to put them ahead with 2 minutes left in the match. It was pretty heart-breaking. One more game to go. Johnsonville at home
