What does one do after spending the Saturday doing indoor rock-climbing, well you do a nice 2-hour session on a Sunday morning playing football (futsal).
It was actually a good round with about 10 people turning up, which made it less strenous than usual. I don’t know if it was due to being fitter than previously, but either way, I played pretty well for a change, and managed to score a great hat-trick during the session.
I wonder if this means I am improving my footie skills? Ha!
Well the Futsal game on Sunday, 12th May started like most others…a casual but sweaty game with some great chums.
It was definitely more relaxing having had more people turned up – because we have played when we have had 3 a side and 4 a side – and these are pretty tough, but when we had 5 and then 6 a side it was a lot better.
The challenge is when you are the one in goal, you’ve got more guys to look out for. This happened to me, and I had the most scary moments I have experienced for a while – a ball being shot directly at my face, with my inability to stop it. BANG!
I felt the pain, I knew it was a bad one, but I didn’t know how bad, until I saw a bit of blood on my hand – as I was wearing glasses, it turned out that the ball had pushed the glasses into my face. I knew I was going to get some lingering issues, and it certainly turned out to be an issue…I got a nice shiner, which came up after a day or two. Ouch!
I am getting into the routine of a Sunday Futsal session at the Cage, near to Stadium – I think it’s a good way to let the stress out of the system, get some exercise and also sweat out – to hopefully make my body adjust to the climate better.
It’s actually quite good fun – and got to chat to some great chaps. I just hope I don’t get any injuries as a result. Ha!
What a way to spend a Sunday, playing some football (on the astroturf – so it is called Futsal) – with some great folks in the Cage just Mount Batten area. It was great fun, and I remembered to bring my footie stuff, which I forgot to bring along previously.
It was also good to sweat it out of the system, and try to keep fit. I definitely need to do more of the same, to get myself feeling fitter and more relaxed – and also get myself out and about.
I hope it turns out to be a regular event…just need to get my arse out of bed each Sunday – oh in-between going to Church!
