I spent the last three days traveling to Dunedin and seeing the Otago Peninsula. There'll be more on that trip shortly. Last Tuesday, we continued our losing ways against Bottom's Up. A biomath student, Klaas, played his first game with us. I asked him to play, because we anticipated only 4 players showing up, and as predicted, there were five of us. He did well. He plays with a B grade team organized by the Canterbury Whitewater Canoe Club.
He reciprocated the invitation and I played on Wednesday in the pick-up game created by the University B team forfeiting. It's spring break at the University and all students who live in the dorms must clear out. I played against his team, The Unsubmersibles, with the riff-raff from the Inn Team. My pick-up team won 8-6. I was a little unfair to them because I played goalie the entire third period. The score was 8-6 at the start of the third and they didn't have the velocity or the accuracy in shooting to beat my paddle. The league rules are that A-side players shouldn't score or play goalie in B-side games. I also scored a goal. Hey, I was tired of losing and, as I've said earlier, I'm having athletic success in this sport. That is something I've seldom had before and I that entitles me to gloat a little.
Tonight is our final regular season game. Even if we don't win, we'll head to Chats to spend our trivia night winnings. Wish us luck.
