Draws

The day started bright and sunny. A few clouds decorated the sky, but they were high and puffy white. The Urban-cub dropped Ellie round to us just before 8:30 and we walked her round to Dizzy Ducklings. This is her last week there before the summer holiday and the commencement of proper school.

Once home, the Gorse Fox got ready then headed out for football. When he arrived, he was greeted by the news that one of our Tuesday regulars had tested positive for Covid after last week's game. The Gorse Fox was quite relieved that he didn't play last Tuesday and thus could not have been exposed.  

Today's games were tight. Partially because it was 9-a-side (too many in the Gorse Fox's opinion), and partially because the teams were well-matched. The Gorse Fox settled into his customary position at centre back and marshalled the defence. The first game finished with a 0-0 draw.

The second game was a little more lively. Goals went in at both ends and we finished up with a fair 3-3 draw. The final game looked to be the hardest. We stood firm and again finished with a 0-0 draw. It was immensely enjoyable today (at least it was when we ditched the 3-touch rule).

Back home we collected Ellie and stopped off so she could play in the park. Once home, Ellie seemed to be looking for trouble but we managed to keep things on an even keel until Urban-cub returned to collect her.
