Hockey

Played field hockey. Match lasts for about an hour, I was subbed on the bench for ten-ish minutes. Lots of running, I played as left and then, after halftime, right wing.

Was a good game, we won 3 - 1. Although we had beaten this same team before.

I did two good tackles and managed to get a short-corner awarded against the other team. We didnt convert the short-corner into a goal, but it was still good to know my random swinging at the ball achieved something that our captian wanted us to do.

The first successful tackle wasnt all that memorable, but the second one i found funny. I just ran straight up to the guy as he was moving along with the ball, the next thing i know, i went for the ball and i got it. Both of us were suprised, and i found myself wondering if the ump had blown the whistle or play had stopped, it was the only thing i could thing of as to why such a sloppy tackle worked. Still it was good. Then i did a shit pass and they got control of the ball again... Ups and downs i suppose.
