Weekend tournament update.

Lovely day in the Manawatu yesterday, following the shocking weather on Saturday (did not hang my gate after all).

Arrived at the netball complex at 10am, sneaked Wilma into a discreet position near the warming up girls & devoted parents, and settled in to watch them lose by one point in each of the first two games.

In truth, we gave it away with bad passes & unforced errors. T actually stood on the sideline & noted turnovers & errors, which told a surprising story. To the uninitiated, a player can look really flash, catching every second pass, appearing to be everywhere, supporters yelling & gushing... and those very same players are giving away more possession than they are winning.

Anyway, the rest of us spent the tournament on the sidelines in time honoured fashion - bitching about the coach.

heh... actually, it was a good day out. Had fortune favoured us slightly, we could have won those games. And we thrashed them (too late) in the third game.

Next week, it's Levin.
