Marg had been arranging for us all to have a massage which was generously paid for by Lidia. She changed my session to a physio visit and I went at 11-30. He diagnosed it as a level 1 (lowest) tear and gave me some ultra sound and acupuncture and suggested I might be able to play by Friday. I had some stretches to do and needed to do some walking. I went to the team meeting without changing to playing strip and was told to do so anyway. I wasn't really up to playing but at least it kept the opponents from realising I wasn't playing. We played SA who had lost all 3 games to date. Their goalie, Maxine, is very good and play with me in NZ last year so we knew it would be hard to beat her. WE had nearly all the attack and unfortunately we didn't score although how one shot missed is anybody's guess. It may have hit the crossbar.
A nil all draw was a bit of an anticlimax but we finished 3rd and would have needed a 5-0 or better win to get to second.All the teams from WA got together for dinner at the grounds. First of all we had a photo taken of the entire contingent. Talk about herding cats!, Still eventually enough of the bossy boots started doing what other people told them to and it was finished.
Dinner was a disappointment. The steak and salad we were expecting turned out to be hamburger patties (looked like they came out of a packet) and sausages. There we only 3 platters of salad for 100 people.
Still, the skits were fun and we had a good time. I finally got a photo of all 6 of our group of buddies to go in the photo frames I bought for them.
We are the 55’s in the Veterans Hockey Team Come on ladies, you can hear us scream Usually we draw, occasionally we win, We’re here to tell you of the year we bought the trophy in |
Fourteen little ladies playing for the team, We fell for the 60’s coach, he was just a dream. The things that we got up to, when the lights went down. But Lyn caught us in the act and ran us out of town. |
Eleven little ladies playing for the team. There was a Tech Directive and it was really mean It said we couldn’t wear our skins but didn’t tell us why. Hamstrings pinging left and right – another three, bye bye |
Eight little ladies playing for the team, We were training well, rough and tough and mean. We were so busy training, we didn’t plan enough Forgot to take our pills, and landed up the duff. |
Six little ladies playing for the team, We went to the doctor feeling pretty green, He told us “You’re hockey days are nearly through, You’re over 55 now, and menopausal too. |
Four little ladies playing for the team. We were more nervous than we’d ever been. So we started drinking to set ourselves at ease. Had to give the game away – we’ve got the D.T’s |
Now there’s just the two of us playing by ourself, But we brought the trophy home and put it on the shelf. We tried to bribe the umpires by offering them some sex But in the end it was easier just to buy them specs |
We are the 55’s in the Veterans Hockey Team We know that we are better than we sometimes seem We knew that we could do it, in spite of all our sin. And that was how we brought the trophy in |
When we got home we sat down and had some cheese, dips and crackers because we were all still hungry.
