I'm not going to be updating this journal anymore. I don't really see the need for two journals when I rarely remember to update this one with hockey stuff, so I'm just going to post it all in my other journal - which can be found at orpheous87 if you want to add me there - and leave this one as it is. I'm not going to delete it, and I may check it ( Read more... )

Ok, roller hockey first. Trials were much better than last year, they were a lot fairer and much more useful than last years. They were actually geared towards how the team going to Detroit is going to play. I enjoyed them. Apart from getting wiped out by Birdie and cracking my head off the floor. Luckily I was wearing my helmet (for once) so all I ( Read more... )

O...k. Long time since I updated this one. Hmm...Blackburn. They were tougher than we thought, they were much improved from last season (or maybe it was just coz Fiona wasn't pissed this time), but we still beat them. We won 6-3. Sadly Fiona got all three goals, but saying that it wasn't really surprising coz she's their best player. It was a ( Read more... )

Ahhh first game of the season over with. WE didn't play against Whitley Bay on the 25th like we were supposed to coz the Forum had double booked - idiots. So, we played Sheffield B today instead. At practice on Wednesday, everyone apart from Lindsey turned up - even Rachel, which is a miracle. We thought we were in pretty good shape. Today, I woke ( Read more... )

Two updates in one day, this must be some sort of miracle ( Read more... )

Bit late with this, but nevermind. Roller hockey Nationals were last weekend - I got up at 5.30am to travel down to Rotherham for a 9.20am game against Teesside. Fucking Teesside of all people. We could have played them up here! Anyway, we beat them 4-3. Then we had Forfar Cobras, we beat them 11-4 or something I think. We started with Stu in goal ( Read more... )

Damn. Pretty much all I can say. I know it's just been a matter of time before we got bombed or something, but it's still been a shock. I was sat in the office actually working (for once) when I found out. Natalie was listening to the radio on her walkman when she just started saying 'What the hell is this on the radio? This has to be a joke. This ( Read more... )

Well we have another season in D1 to look forward to. *sighs* The game yesterday went so badly it was unreal. First off, we only had like, 9 players to use which isn't even two full lines. Secondly, I'm the only one who has been doing hockey training since the end of the season. Sure, Steph, Julie and Leanne have been a couple of times to roller, ( Read more... )

I decided that since this journal is going to be used for mainly hockey posts, I'd get another one to use for more normal posts. It's at orpheous87 . So, if anyone wants to know what else I'm upto apart from hockey, feel free to add me and I'll add you back.
