We drew the hockey finals, which means that we're in the Grand Finals as the team that's higher on the ladder!
It, I think, was an awesome game. 5-5 both ways, with them getting two goals ahead to begin with - one of them in the first minute of the game - before we started kicking back. I got our first goal, and three other people scored the other goals. But I had several chances on goal which bounced off the goalie pads, alas.
We played well, they played well, they were good sports - although one of their girls got carded for shouldering and one of our girls got carded for hacking - and we hung on for grim life.
Some of our players got a bit narky with each other at the end of the game - partly because we didn't know what was going on and they were getting anxious. They were the older members of the team, too - and a hothead or two - but I think we settled them enough.
But, y'know, even if we'd lost, it would have been a really great game.
I wish I'd gone to church tonight - I forgot there was a fellowship dinner on, which I could have attended - but I was kind of too exhausted at the end of the game to do more than take a shower and flop on the couch with half a chicken and the Beeb's recent series of Emma.
