|
Despite the dire warnings of rain the day turned out really great. Since the first try at this event went so well I decided to do it again and I was not disappointed.
I met most of the participants at the subway as it was mentioned on the event details and we decided to travel over to the park. Since Kari had her bike, she pedaled over and missed the meet up location until Emma went to fetch her. Grant had decided to wait for us at the park and was lucky to have been spotted by Alana.
Since Grant, Brent and Kari had already played this game, we split into two teams. It was me, Grant and Alana against the formidable Threesome of Brent, Kari and Emma. After a few instructions we decided to play. Since I have been out of shape for how knows how long, it did not take long for me to feel the effects of running up and down the make shift "Pitch". However, I kept hearing Emma, Alana and Grant giggle throughout the event and decided to try and keep going. Since I was almost always either defending against or trying to get by Brent who seems like he is seven feet tall, it was a challenge getting a good pass to my teammates or stop him from throwing over my head to his teammates. Kari look like an easier target to guard until she starts to move like a cheetah. Emma playing for her first time kept up very well with the expert players on her team. As it turned out, the formidable threesome where no match for the Benster team. Well done to all the participants.
After a solid day's play we took Alana's suggestion and visited the New York cafe which has a large variety of food. We talked about all kinds of variety of subjects form Architecture, Erik and why I do not like dogs. We laughed and giggled till it was time to pay the Separate bills.
We parted company with several members asking for another crack at this sport. I say it all depends on Mother Nature.
