Jolly hockey sticks and silverware




Yesterday in the sweltering Hong Kong heat, we played our very own cup final. HK Cricket Club vs the HK Football Club. We've had a good good season, unbeaten - but deprived of winning our league because we were promoted mid season to the league above and so lost all our points. Still we ended up third which was quite respectable though, so nice to win a trophy too.
Great bunch of lasses and a very vociferous and passionate coach to boot. We've played in all weather, scorching heat, black rain storms and even when it's been pretty chilly and had to wear thermals! For the past 4 matches we've had to find 'willing vicims' to stand in goal and look fearson as our brilliant goalie Catriona upped and left to work in Dubai. The menfolk won their knockout cup today too, so a great season all round for the Hockey section of the HKCC. Here we are celebrating. Archie and Mark came along to watch too - I seem to recall Archie going up for a medal for the women and the men's trophies....
