Busy weeekend!
After nothing but jobs on Saturday it was time to get some gold in on Sunday
This weekend it was the Pete King Trophy and Captains Day with loads of the club members all playing.
I was with Julio and Flanners and we tee'd off at 8.30amand it was an incredibly sunny day, so lovely. Julio was off to a flying start and played really well, I thought I was less so but as we finished the round I'd realised I'd hit my lowest round (89) and when they calculated my points it was 40 meaning I was in with a decent shout of actually winning!
After some waiting whilst it was all worked out with the other cards I found out I came second, the winner had 41 points - ah well. Got some balls and a £30 voucher to go with my £10 voucher from last month, but crucially for me was beating 90 shots barrier - chuffed to bits with that.
Once that was all out of the way I got home as quickly as possible, even though the bridge into Wolvercote was closed because of a gas leak, quick shower and we were then on the road to Manchester! Quick detour to Bicester and dropped Bess off. Decent run up the M6 and then into the Salford Quays area, they're working on doing it up and have made a decent job on it to be fair
We parked up and then met Jodie and Jack for food and a drink, Noah turned up and then Lewis and Emily who were celebrating their 4th anniversary. Had nice street food and a beer and then went into the bar to watch the football, we didn't have seats but it was fine, I was happy standing. It got busy and there was live music and I did have a few pints!
This was the final of the Euros and we were playing Spain, they were favourites, they've been the best team, but we have talent so were not just going to turn up and roll over. Interesting game but we were so negative and defensive, went a goal down but equalised and the place erupted, it was so good to experience that.
But we sat back and tried to see out a draw but conceded the winner in the 96th minute - very disappointing. Hardly heart-breaking but very frustrating that we didn't play better or more expansive football - it felt the team and players were being shackled and held back.
So that was that!
Finished our drinks and went back to Lewis and Emily's (just me and Tash) and got to bed around midnight after some nibbles.
It was good that we came up here, Tash is a bit down and concerned about her health at the minute so she wanted some time with her boys - not referring to me!
