We played our final league match this Tuesday. It has been an interesting season, that is if you find losing interesting. We will end the season with a terrible record

We have improved in our team play. In our last match I noticed how well I and my teammates improvised plays, dummied, supported and covered compared to earlier in the season.

We are much better than our record, but, still, we aren’t producing winning results. In almost a third of our matches we were winning at the half only to lose or tie.

Injury, poor attendance and thence few or no subs, and rotating goalkeepers, hindered the performance of the talent we do have and didn’t help the psychology of the team.

Anyway, I am glad to have played with the team, but it shows that it takes time to build a team.

I liked playing competitively and playing full regulation time matches. I don’t really like our team name, Merkins. I could have done without the cursing, complaining, and ungentlemanly conduct that seems to be a norm in the league.
