My ankle is
killing me, my wrist is throbbing, but I’m happy. The indoor soccer team goal scoring beast ultimate athletic combination of beast and natural phenomenon known only as ‘Thunderhorse’ has won the East Vic Park Recreational Centre Thursday night Division 1 ladder. After needing to win six games on the trot to make it to the finals, we clawed our way to a 4-3 win (from 2-0 down at half-time) over the top team in the semi-final, and then made it eight-in-a-row with a 3-1 victory against The Devils. I was glad it was The Devils, they’re good blokes that we’ve been playing against for the last three seasons. While our players and theirs might get into the occasional swearing contest, they’re usually good sports. The result means that we have a $240 voucher to spend at a local pub. Not a bad way to have a great night out. And with that, I’m going to put my head back down and keep working on these calculations. Who says sport and academia can’t exist in harmony?
Oh yeah, and next year’s team name? Tornainbow. We’re getting shirts made up.
