This sporting life

Its Monday. That means netball. It usually means netball at some ungodly hour of the evening when I’d rather already be asleep, or too close to dinner in which case I worry I may chuck.

Not tonight.

For a positively pleasant change netball was at 6.20pm – most convenient.

Netball is (courtesy of the good folk at Wikipedia) ” a non-contact generally indoor sport similar to, and derived from, basketball. It is usually known as a women’s sport”.

Tonight it was not.

Indoor – Yes

Sport – Yes

Derived from basketball – (well, history tells me) Yes

Women – debatable

Non-contact – I THINK NOT!!!!!

I have a particularly tender, progressively enlarging bump on my nose thanks to my opponents exceptionally pointy elbow. My poor team mate Lisa has a fractured elbow – AND NEITHER OF US GOT THE FREE PASS!

Seriously, I know we need the umpires, but sometimes I think the game would be a whole lot more smooth without them.

Is it bad I really wanted to smack someone by the end???
