Final Fed Cup match (for us).
Seriously, 8pm on a tuesday?! Not ideal. And playing a team in green and black stripes - they just blended into the pitch and surrounding darkness!

Another frustrating game. It's coming together though, just working out combinations still. I had the misfortune of marking an absolute brick of a girl, who's specific job seemed to be to drop the shoulder and take me out every time I got the ball. (My team mates overheard the opposition confirm this tactic in the 2nd half). And the ref didn't do anything about it. Not once.
I didn't retaliate, but am disappointed that I let it get to me, got pissed off, and as a result didn't play very well. Something that I should know better by now - I seem to be able to calm myself down when I'm out orienteering and make a stupid mistake. But when it's on the soccer pitch, and another player is the (continuous) issue - it's a bit harder to put it behind you!

Anyway. onwards and upwards. 2.5 weeks til season starts.
