So i have just paid for Hockey Tour in April 5th – 11th, im so looking forward to it as this will probably be my only chance of having some form of holiday this year, unless i find a special some one, but right now tour it will be. We are off on tour to Loret de Mar in Spain, part of the lloretfest organised by Sportsparty. It will be 5th tour and one final chance to live the dream of been a student, as this year really will be final year of been able to play as part of the University squad, which i have enjoyed been able to help out the club and step up to the challenge.
Hopefully i will be on the committee again due to been my 5th year. Im not going to be harsh with the nature of tour rules and the tour rules just use them to keep people in line, i will be out there to enjoy myself and that’s the most important thing!
I recently found this rather addictive game called Tiger Woods PGA although i have never been a fan of golf really this game is free and the graphics are pretty damn good for an online browser game, im very impressed with it. Id recommed people to try it out.
So on Saturday i played hockey which was quite a heated affair between Chester 6th and Chester 7ths. Two Club teams in the same league should never happen in my opinion and neither are anywhere need promotion. With parents on the sidelines of the 6ths as the 6ths are just a bunch of youngsters with one or two senior players to give some authority which wasn’t happening as the youngsters were spouting off their mouths, I’ve never heard so much bad language ever. The game was very controversial in many points of the game, with dodgy umpiring and the one umpire just not been keeping an eye on the game.
Our first goal was awarded after one umpire had to speak to the other umpire, there equalizer was down to sloppy defence. But our 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals made it all worth while as we annihilated them and smashed their resolve. As soon as we scored the 3rd their confidence was shattered and the game was in our hands. But we have nothing to cheer about as we only beat a bunch of 15 year olds but, they acted like spoilt brats, appealing and trying persuade the umpire into giving them the ball on fouls, nothing to do with the fact that one umpire also happened to be their youth coach.
I played a varied game, initially i started in midfield. i have never ever played in midfield and not an experience i enjoyed but i had to work at it and im sure in future games i could control the game better, but i within the first half i came off and was then back on the left wing which i found to be my A game and i was annoying their right wing who just didn’t have the talent to keep me from going forward, i set up our 2nd goal due to my persistent annoying self on the wing. Second half i started in midfield and felt a bit more relaxed but its so hard to keep track of the forwards and try to command the game, it was different i can say that much, but i enjoyed it more. Then towards the end of the half i played on the right wing and that was fun, i don’t get many chances on right wing and i enjoyed it alot more freedom and more chance to annoy the left wings and left backs.
Oh and that card i got a green card for disrupting play, and was warned. My first card ever in hockey so its nothing to worry about, and it was a fair challenge well i thought it was.
Anyway i can look forward to next weekend when i will be playing against Bowdon 9ths.

So i thought the snow was actually going to finally disappear this week, but no it has returned. The ground is now covered with snow again, stupid snow. I didnt mind it at first, but when it stay around for this long it make it dangerous and difficult to get to work, although i walk to work this can be dangerous with ice etc.
Driving could be potentially dangerous too, my road once again has been covered with snow, no grit either.
Also no playing hockey this week again as the pitches are still covered in snow, so this is further disrupting my life.
But this week i will not let the snow ruin my social life, i will be going out tonight with the hockey team, i need it since i haven’t been out for ages!
