rone | the longer the wait, the sweeter the taste (Reply)

After almost six years of playing at Off The Wall, one of my teams (HNS, which was named Centavo when i first joined) finally won our division (technically, Quakes won their division while i was on the roster, but that happened during the session in which i only played a game and a half in between thumb injuries, so it doesn't really count, and yes, they clearly didn't miss me that much). Last week's game was a battle for first place, where both teams had the same point total and goal differential; we started out strong but got a little crazy (again) in the second half, with no help from the ref who called a goal on a loose ball i stopped a good 10 inches in front of the line. In this week's game we only needed a tie to wrap up the championship, but we were missing most of our defenders due to work, vacation, and injuries; we also started out flimsily, giving up two early shorthanded goals (on the same penalty!). Luckily, we kept plugging away, pulled ahead, and won, and it feels good.
