Current location: Mottingham, London
11.11am, About three-quarters of the way through a netball match. Not just any match, though, this was the first match for Blackheath Wanderers 2 of the season. We were playing against Crystal Palace (known for being quite hard to beat). Luckily it was their second team (or maybe third or fourth, I can't remember). That gave us a bit of a chance, and we got off to a flying start.
By the end of the third quarter, despite this being our first game back after quite a lazy summer, we were winning by 11 goals. Our mistake then was that we got a bit comfortable, thinking 'It's pretty hard to make up 11 goals in a quarter'; turns out we were wrong. The opposition had an absolutely blinding 10 minutes, and, with seconds to go, were equal with us. At the last second (literally), a penalty pass or shot was awarded against Crystal Palace and Erica, our amazing Goal Shooter, popped the goal in to win us the game. A lucky, fun, exciting first game back!
