Lightening Online

Can you believe it’s almost 9 weeks since I hurt my ankle playing netball?

Unfortunately, there is still quite a bit of pain and a little swelling.

Tuesday I went to see a different Physio.  One who specialises in back issues.  Limping around for 2 months has taken it’s toll on my back.

Apparently my back being out is also making my ankle quite weak.

And the problems with running are now more to do with tight calves now (hard to stretch when you can’t bend the ankle without pain).

HOWEVER, last Saturday I DID return to the netball court.

So much has been happening in our club of late.

We’ve been having lots of meetings to decide what to do about the future of our club.

Our numbers for senior football have been slowly dwindling.

Unfortunately, our junior numbers and senior netball numbers are good.

Still, we’ve decided that the best thing for the long term future of our club is to amalgamate with another nearby club.

I REALLY wanted to play netball last Saturday in case it was my last time to play in our club colours (new club, new colours next year).

I was only going to play a quarter or two as my fitness isn’t all that great after 8 weeks of not running.

But an injury meant I spent longer on the court than originally planned.

And thankfully, my foot and my fitness stood up to it okay.

And WE WON!!!!!

Which means we now are in the Preliminary Final (last Saturday was the 1st Semi).

So I get to play AGAIN in my old club colours. 

Hope my foot holds up okay this time.

How awesome would it be to go all the way to the Grand Final???

That would be kinda cool for our last year playing together in this club.
