It wasn’t as hot as last week but it was a hot, trim Nanna contingent that took the court this week with the lean six.
Apparently not hot and trim enough to unseat the Phase wannabe beeyatches in their headbands and over zealous 50-50 ball challenges.

The Nannas took a while to hit their straps tonight and a few soft goals in the first half allowed the enemy to open a gaping lead of 3-0 by half time.

The second half was won by us 2-1 but was too little too late.

I got the first goal: a right footer into the top/ middle of the net from the edge of the D after a scramble in front of goal.

The second goal was a lovely finish by the Captain on the left from a cross court ball from me.

Dan and Guy were in New Zealand for a wedding. There are rumours that the BPBD may make an appearance in our next match.

This game occurred before the weekend of the Victorian bushfires. The Brown-Smiths were camping in Warburton that weekend only 45km from Marysville which burnt to the ground. Thankfully we are all safe and made it back to Melbourne with no incident. We did witness the darkening sky, red sun and black rain of Saturday afternoon which was also the hottest day ever recorded in Melbourne: 46 degrees.

Special mention goes to Marion, Izzy, Coco and Gabrielle (my mum) for their support.
