Ankara, Turkey - My game on Saturday was a sleeper seeing us win the game 17-2. Yes, two goals by me, but in my defense, I had no defense. One of those games where everyone just wants to score and defense is not a thought. So facing a few 2 on 0's and 2 on 1's, a couple of goals are bound to go in no matter how bad the other team is. So thats my defense.
However, it was the trip up and back that was more interesting. My team shared a bus with the Polis club since they played after us. According to my club (take their words with a grain of salt), the Federation has not released the funds to the clubs in order to pay for the bus trips to Istanbul. Whatever the case was, we had to cram into a bus with an opposing club and if that wasn't the icing on the cake; after the game our junior players that were in Istanbul for the national development camp came back with us filling the bus even more.
After waiting for the Polis to finish their game, we managed to leave Istanbul at 1:30am and arrived back in Ankara at 7:30am.
Brittany and Kate's game was a great one, with them coming out ahead 6-3. They played against Ankara University and the last time these teams met Ankara won the match 8-0.
The next game for Brittany and myself are, unfortunately, on Saturday. My game is in Istanbul against last placed Sirintepe. This will again be a horribly boring game and it will probably last 4 hours, which doesn't sound too bad, however the game is supposed to start at 9:30pm!
Brittany and Kate's team will be facing 1st placed Milenyum on Saturday and should be an exciting game.
