El Salvador, our last game
On Saturday 17th December, we played the last game of the year, our goodbye to 1st division. We played in Paraninfo, the muddiest field we ever played in. When their team arrived, we grinned compassionately when we saw their players running towards the small area of grass in a corner of the pitch. Poor guys, they didn't know they were going to get muddy sooner or later. I started off as a substitute. We got off to a bad start, with ginormous Mazinger Z, who is surprisingly our age, playing as well. The 1st part was terrible! It ended 25-0 and it looked like there would be no comeback.
But we shifted into overdrive as I came on in the 2nd half, as we scored a try and transformation in the 53rd minute, but that was about it. There it was beautiful as anything, down the right flank and between the posts. Awesome! Plus the transformation.
Although we tried our best (no pun intended), we simply didn't have a flash of an opportunity to try again, even though our defence hardened, as we got no more tries in the 2nd half. Afterwards it was just congratulations and lessons learnt, as we headed for the changing room with our las 1st division game behind us already.
Let's hope 2017 will be better for us. By the way, merry christmas and a happy new year!!!
