The Bureau came second (again), beating CSIRO and Monash but losing, pretty comprehensively, to Melbourne Uni. Melbourne scored 15 goals in three games and only conceded two (one of which was an own goal).

I refereed three of the games - not something I've done much of. Had its moments, most of them courtesy of a rather crazy Bosnian who was playing for Melbourne; had it been a more serious game I would have been tempted to book him for dissent (or possibly for making too many disparaging comments about 1860 Munich). Also a bit awkward because a few people weren't playing in the right colours; someone was wearing something identical to the 2006 Australian orienteering top when they were supposed to be in green (but then 2XU can't tell the difference either).

Have been up at Marysville for a work meeting the last couple of days. It would have been absolutely magic to go for a run this morning - forest tracks everywhere, clear and cool. This made it rather annoying that I was restricted to an hour's brisk walk (which I refuse to log as training on AP). Still on track to be back in business next week, though.

Any Melbourne Uni-based people who want to see some of the worst soccer players in the western world (with the possible exception of the NZ Kings) are invited to come and have a look at what's going on in the centre of the aths track tomorrow from 4.30 - it's the annual tournament between the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and the meteorology sections of Melbourne and Monash. I'll be spectating/possibly refereeing/turning sausages on the post-game BBQ. We're in the red shirts.
