If You know me. Then u know i love my sports. And If u are wondering why my interest in sports is of any relevance to this website, your about to find out!
When i first met Nicola on the internet. Sport was one of our Main attractions. She Shared a pasion for my love of soccer. always wanting updates after each wekend and how i went. I play both cricket and soccer competitvly With local clubs on a Saturday and represent the shire when selected on sundays. I play sport all year round. When i was hosting the first time. Many of my shifts had to be covered By Nicola because of my excessive sporting commitments...Ended up geting fired over this one lol.
Sports are a huge area in a persons life i believe. Sports is one thing i love most about my weekends. I look foward to either batting and or keeping in cricket and running my ass off till i cant breath in soccer. In cricket i play for the Miranda Magpies. Last Year we played under 16B's. We were a good team from the start and knew we would be very competitve. I got asked to captain the side, at first i was a little unsure about this. But afterwards i was glad i made the decision to accept the captaincy.Sure i ran into a few personal problems with some ppl in the team...but we overcame that. In our minds there was only one other team worthy of taking the Premiership away from us. Sylvania. They were a strong batting team but lacked in the bowling department. Our first game against them was a crunch match. We had not been beaten until then..and they had only conceded a draw against them (due to a pitch being vandalised). We bowled them out for a do able score in 134. We were a very confident Miranda Magpies. But we had to go out and bat with 1 hour before the end of the day. We sent out a few batsmen that would normally middle order..we ened up 3 for 35 at one stage...I then stepped up to the crease expecting bouncers ( as i knew the team well). sure enough first ball was a bouncer. I got settled in and i lead the team to 3/90 I ended up with a strong 43. We ended up winning this game and we didnt lose a game until the last game of the season in which we played sylvania again...we lost by 8 runs in the last over this time.
However that game did not matter...as the big game was the next week against them in the final. We won the final quite promisingly. I have many pictures of us celebrating which shall feature in this section when i get the time.
I also play soccer for the Mighty Como Mo's. We had a bumpy season last season. We were initially put in the B grade. And we were flogging teams easily. We then got moved up after 3 games into the A grade. This was always going to be hard. After a few good triaining sessions and some good team play, we started to win in this grade. We fractionally missed the semis due to injuries and lack of effort in the last 2 games. It was however a great season. click here to see a photo of the team
My life is full of sporting achievments and sporting recreations. I love sport...And im sure all u guys do to...
