Hockey!!!

We have had some great games of hockey lately. If you have been reading my blog lately, you might have read about one of the women from another team having an accident while playing us. Well she doesn't need surgery and her knee is healing really well! Now we have played three games since that one. The first one we won 4-0! I scored two of the goals, so I was very happy about that. The second game we won 2-0. Even though we won, it wasn't a very good game for our team, we just didn't play well. And then on Saturday we played another game and we won 7-0!!!! I scored two gaols again. Going into that game, the whole team was a bit concerned about what the outcome would be since we had played a really bad game the week before and the other team was really determined to beat us.
Although we all played really well and came out with a great win. By the looks of things, we won't play hockey for two weeks, there is some event on. I will miss it heaps!!!!!

So that is what hockey has been like lately. It has been raining here for over an hour and it is finely easing off. I don't like rain. :) Better be off.

I'm Still Here!

I think I have been a little bit slack with my posting efforts, I haven't posted for a while. (Besides the post about Alice's awesome giveaway).

Now.... just looking back at a few of my last posts... hmmmm..... ok, the last thing I mentioned about hockey was an upcoming game on the water turf. (You guys must be so sick of my going on and on about hockey, sorry but I just can't help myself). We won that game on the water turf 3-0!! And then we played again last Saturday on the grass, although we were unable to finish the game due to a accident on the field. One of the women on the other team tripped over her stick, when she fell she dislocated her knee and then when her knee hit the ground, it popped back into position. She was on the ground in a huge amount of pain and she could not move her leg. The ambulance was called for and the people at the hospital said that she was not to be moved until the paramedic's arrived in the ambulance. You see, in hockey the clock keeps running even if the is an injury, so it being in the second half and my team being ahead 3-0 once again, the other team gave us the win and called the game quits.

The woman who was injured happens to be our friends mum from across the road! So we have been able to keep up to date with how she is going. We were told that she need an operation. So lets just hope everything turns out well. Anyway. Naomi and I are playing hockey this Saturday once again and we are playing another new team. If we beat them, we will have played all the teams in the comp and be undefeated!! It sounds very exciting.

Summer is over and weather is really beginning to cool down. I hate cold weather. But there's nothing I can do about it.

We went to our Senior Cricket presentation a couple weeks ago. It was very exciting. My big brother received the Bowling award and the Players Player award. You can to my mum's blog to have a look at the trophies. My brother was kind of expecting the bowling award, but to receive the players player award was a huge surprise and a great honour. You see the players of the team vote for their favourite team mate, so my big brother was the most popular player! Naomi and I were also mentioned during the presentation for filling in for 3rd grade (men's cricket). I realised that Naomi and I were the only girls to play in the senior club. After the presentation we were also given a voucher to a restaurant which was pretty exciting. I have only ever been to one restaurant.

Well... its lunch time and I'm getting pretty hungry.
I better be off.

Alice Is Having A Giveaway!

Alice from Alice's Place and Me & My Sisters is having a giveaway on one of her blogs. She is giving away this awesome little Notepad Case. It is well worth an entry. Click HERE to view the giveaway details. 

I'm so happy!

I'm back from my holiday! It is very nice to be home. I played hockey on Saturday, at half time we were loosing 2-1. But we came back in the second half to win 2-6!!! It was very exciting. I scored one goal, and should have scored another, although I stuffed up.

Guess what................................................. I finally bought a new hockey stick!!!!! Here it is.

It is the one I have been wanting for ever so long. I bought it Saturday afternoon and used it in my game. It is amazing. Such a step up from the stick I have been using. Today I went down to the local sports store and bought what is called a 'shaft guard'. It is a thick clear tape that wraps from the handle, all the way done to the curve. It's purpose is to protect the stick to keep it looking good. I think it  looks awesome!! What do you think?

We Won!

We played our first game of hockey for the season today and we won!!! We beat the team who won the grand final last year. It wasn't looking to good for us in the first half, but after that (since they were nearly all middle age to old ladies) they just weren't able to keep up with us when we were running.

I nearly scored a goal once or twice. I played center-forward for one of the first times, and apparently I played the position really well!! I'm very pleased about it.

Tomorrow we head off for a little holiday with my grandparents! I'm really looking forward to it. I'll probably post while we are there. I'm not sure if I'm able to take my laptop though.

I'm quite hot at the moment. Whenever I play hockey, I nearly always finished the game and my face is really red. I nickname my self 'Beetroot Face"!!! LOL.

Awards!

We had our association presentation on Thursday! It was pretty good. All my team mates and I each received a small trophy for winning the Grand Final. Naomi also received an award because she took the most catches in U/14's along with two other people. We have a club presentation next week, it is just for the club. I've added it all up and in three seasons of cricket and two seasons of hockey, Naomi and I have got five trophys, four medalians and two shirts

We have been enjoying the nicest weather here!! There has been clear blue sky and it has been neither hot nor cold, just perfect!

I hope you like my new background, it will take a while for me to get use too.

Naomi and I had hockey training yesterday afternoon. I'm really looking forward to starting the season. We have out first game on Saturday and I'm really excited. I'll probably have a look at hockey sticks on Saturday too, the shop is at the hockey fields.
I hope I find something.............

Cricket Grand Final Results......

*Ahem* I am pleased to say that...... (drum roll please)...... WE WON!!!!!!!


I'm so happy!!! I couldn't believe it when we won!! I keep saying to myself 'This is unreal'.
It was a very close game, we played CB. His team put up a really good fight and I honestly thought we were going to loose, but our team managed to pull through in the end. This is the second grand final my team has won in any form of sport.

I'm absolutely thrilled!!! So next week, my team will go to an association presentation where we will be presented with a trophy I think, and each of our team members will get a special shirt.

I'm so excited. I'm going to go and calm down.
