WEDNESDAY afternoon saw a good roll up of keen smiling players ready for an invigorating game full of physical exercise and all-important social interaction.
This week turned out to be a five-a-side game with a “floating sub player” who put on whatever colour vest they needed to fill in for a puffed-out player or one that just felt like a rest, such is the relaxed atmosphere that we all enjoy and feel fits “our stage in life” and where we all love to live.
A humid but shaded afternoon was punctuated by an intermittent breeze that promised…. then disappeared, and judging by the look of the players at the end of our two fifteen-minute halves and a follow-on 10 minute “play of you want to session” it could have delivered on its’ promise and stayed on a bit longer to cool everyone down!
If memory serves, it was another close score, with several celebrated goals, if there was an award for perseverance it should be awarded Lorraine who just didn’t stop trying and finally popped one in the 10 minute follow-on session!
Well done everyone, a very enjoyable game indeed, and great after-game friendship, laughter and conversation on the canteen veranda.
Thanks to Gary and Vicky for taking and supplying the photos and George for taking care of washing our vests this week.
We are planning a Christmas gathering on Wednesday 17th December our last game day for 2025.
Please wear something Christmasy and bring a share plate to help us celebrate our first year!
We will bid a fond farewell to the 2025 season as the next two Wednesdays are “no play days”, and look forward with anticipation to the opening of the 2026 Twilight Season on January 7 same place, same time, same fun.
Everyone over 50 years young welcome.
