Meet my hockey team – or at least about 2/3 of it as this photo was taken at Southgate, one of the furthest games we have to travel to and not the most popular destimation. It's so far off, it's barely on the tube map.. and the polar opposite from Wimbledon Park nestled in the bottom left corner.
It's also where Fitz had her head cut open last year by one of them (charming) and where this time we were treated to the delights of 'chop their legs' being shouted in Essex tones by the delightful spectators on the viewing balcony, and poor Jo being threatened with 'just you wait, just you wait' by one of their less than lovely players, seeking revenge for a green card that she'd been given. Oh the joys of happy hockey, and what nice hosts they are – NAAAAAT.
Anyway – we still came 2nd in our League this season and should be getting promoted back up into Middlesex Premier division as a result. Not bad for a bunch of mostly 40 and 50-somethings, hey?
Here we are at Southgate before heading off to the cocktail fest at Jo's. I remember White Russians, mojitos, coconut rummy things, Cuba Libre and a lot of pouring and beating of ice, a smattering of round the table pingpong, Caroline walking in on me in the loo, 2 big cats and thank god, a lot of pizza….. A good night all round! s x
