Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour Then leaf subsides to leaf So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay -robert frost-

and what better way to break in my new ronaldo number 9 jersey with a hat trick of goals. soccer wasnt so good on saturday seeing how my left calf was giving me trouble but i got in there fine to bring us back into the game as we trailed 2-1 thanks to colin and uncle, although thanks to a stunning strike by uncle chandran, and a last minute goal by ray, we ended up with the final score at 3-2 and took the win. after the game i went down to the class party which was real good seeing as to how candices dad was really quite interesting. later on james daniel and i went up to watch liverpool trail 1-0 to boro at half time although i couldnt take the agony and went back down with them at the whistle to rejoin the karaoke that was going on. ha. colin (C) and i (A) took captaincy on saturday.
goals (C) uncle 1 (C) colin 1 (A) chandran 1 (A) akesh 1 (A) ray 1
in any case yesterday it was drizzling ever so slightly so called the people up and we went down to the park to play. as usual we were leaky at the back for the first few minutes, going down 2-0 at the off, with a goal by colin and another from uncle harbhajan. once again i intervened to score and bring us up at 2-1 but a few moments later they struck back and brought us back down at 3-1, amrit taking the goal, his first ever. just before the stroke of half time however, i put us back up at 3-2, and then watched as the dutch man we liken to marco van basten send in a header to hold us at 4-2, although then chandran hammered two wondrous shots in two equalise at 4-4, and then i took a run down the left and we were up for the first time in the game; at 5-4. sadly, our hopes were dashed five minutes from time as van basten equalised to hold us at 5-5. colin and i once again took captaincy.
todays match however was a thriller. uncle (U) and van basten (VB) took captaincy of the two teams with me on uncles side today. it started off with the usual story though, conceding two goals early in the first half, courtesy of colin and kenneth who put their team up 2-0 leaving me shouting at the very leaky defence, and limping about the pitch although suddenly chandran took a pot at the goal and simon failed to hold, and we, with renewed vigour went about down 2-1. i then went through a series of passes in quick succession with uncle and controlled the ball to shoot it past the helpless goalkeeper and put us back on level terms at 2-2. just before half time however, i scored a goal ill remember forever; probably the best goal ive ever scored. chandran passed me the ball about three metres before the halfway mark as i jinked past four people, and broke through the midfield before running chased by kenneth and this NS guy, suddenly stopping as they scrambled to stop and knocking the ball just past the keepers (simon's) right leg to put us up at 3-2 just before half time. full time resumed and we changed sides, although we instantly won a penalty thanks to a handball, which we let one of the small boys take. sadly he missed, and then horror of horrors; kenneth took a throw in which i tried to control miserably- it smacked my leg and deflected to the right corner of my own goal- damn! i was absolutely furious; until the ball was far down the left flank as van basten left it to go out; but i raced forward and fell back to send a cross in- boon flapped it, but thank god james (not big james. this is another one.) has the prescence of mind to kick it in and were back up at 4-3! i was now galvanised back into action as both harbhajan and chandran said that made up for the own goal- so i made a long run down the entire length of the left flank, dribbling past defenders and as van basten closed in on me, i took a sharply angled shot- and we were up at 5-3; and the match received brilliant closure with a great goal by james- and we won 6-3. brilliant match. how i wish we had more long weekends!
