Running from Zombies

Sunday we play the Bury Bombers. It’ll be my first game of the season and first ever league game, so I’m a little bit nervous – not of losing, but of doing something incredibly silly. I was looking forward to the few weeks leading up to it so I could ask last minute questions (I still don’t know all the rules) and maybe see if we have any type of plan.

As you may have seen in Monday’s post, we didn’t get to play last Wednesday (28th) as the venue was closed (we play in a school that was closed for half term). No problem, Ally and I had got some 1 on 1 in at the local leisure centre (there’s a mini court that’s perfect size) on Wednesday and, even though I wasn’t shooting well, it saw me over. On Sunday, we didn’t play again as our other venue had been booked out to a coaching course. This Wednesday we found out that team practice was cancelled again…rather annoying as that means there hasn’t been much in the way of preparation for the game. Ally and I decided to book an hour at the leisure centre on Wednesday afternoon but when we got there we were told they had double booked the court.

It seemed that we were destined not to play, all three venues were against us…but we booked in at the leisure centre again and yesterday we finally got to play. I wasn’t on top form but at least we got an hour in before the game.

I don’t mean to sound pessimistic but the odds aren’t looking too favourable at the moment. The Bombers have won all three of their games so far, the last 2 by over 50 points. No matter though, as long as we have a good game it should be fine. I’ll let you know how it goes next week.
