End of Season

Football is over now. My mens team played very well and went down in the tightest game by the narrowest of margins 3-2 after surrenduring a 2-0 lead in the second half. But a host of chances at both ends by 2 very competetive teams in an exciting game. In the final analysis we were let down by tiring players with a handful of small injuries and lack of fitness.

Can't wait till next season to start assembling a new team to push on!

Also copped a huge double whack on the shin. The first tackle shifted the shin guard and the second whack was pretty solid! It came up a lovely bleeding red and swollen purple. RICER (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) actually works would you believe it! I threw some ice water on it for about 20 minutes after the game, then bound it lightly with a compression bandage and elevated it to pelvic height (put my feet up) for about 30 mins later. The day after all thats left is the skin scarring, no swelling and no significant bruising!
