First Half Complete

The first half of the Futsal season is complete and it was a grand success! There's a smorgasborg of highlights to choose from, but a few that quickly come to mind are:

• a victory over IPAC Ukraine, a Second Division team
• a narrow one-goal loss to Spitfire, a First Division team
• a draw (that should have been a win) against King's Head, a Third Division team

Not bad for a bunch of guys from Fourth Division! I can't think of any lowlights, except for maybe the last minute loss to the last place team. Rumour has it they're being relegated for the second half of the season though, so we won't have to worry about them anymore. :P

The Futsal game is fast and fun and except for some heating, seating, and leaking issues the facilities are great too.

The team is also really starting to come together. From great efforts on the pitch, to complementary pats on the back, to post-game beer bashes, this is the most fun I've had playing soccer in a long time. In fact, the games we lost were some of the most enjoyable!

The saying goes "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." Well, I'd complement that with "If you're not having fun, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose." That is why we play sports after all: to have fun.

I can't wait for the second half of the season!
