What a great weekend the Chester Hockey Festival was, i had an awesome weekend. Though wasnt allowed to drink as from saturday i had developed an ear infection which meant i was on antibiotics after having a trip to A&E. It didnt ruin my weekend, as i still had a great time.
The whole weekend comprised of a 6 a side tournament and a full 11 a side tournament
Friday Evening
Set-up tents, received kit for the weekend, headed to the bar.
Saturday
There were several highlights to the weekend and they were that we beat the other men’s chester based team the Fluffy Bunnies 1-0 and because we did this i was sent on a mission to matalan to get 17 white t-shirts, i could do this as i was the only sober one of the team. We then wrote on the t-shirts Chillirun 1 Bunnies 0 and proceded to wear these at the night event. The spares we had we gave to the bar staff which may have made things abit worse.
Also had to do a Chillirun down to the Spar this was interesting as i was sober, so no beer coat.
Sunday
Found out that we would face the bunnies in the semi final of the 6 a side tournament, the mouthing off and winding up of the bunnies last night may have been a bad idea oh well, we couldnt match the work rate of the bunnies and lost.
We finished on a high we found out we had made it to the Semi finals of the 11 a side tournament.
In the evening we dressed up as Mexican Meerkats which was well class, had alot of fun.
Monday Morning
Semi final game at 9 in the morning! We won this game but it was hard work with the heat and several member hangovers.
The Final against the bandits, we lost unfortuately. But a great weekend and i would do it all again, which i will next year!
