It was hard to keep up with all the games Saturday, but it was great to host the GITS. As usual the GITS travel well and brought more than enough to the game. A hiccup with the fields did not stop us from making things work. Using an undersized field, and going with 12-a-side we did a round robin format with a total of 4 games or 80-minutes of game time. With free substitution, you could take a break after a short run! Although not our original plan it seemed to have worked out based on the feedback. On a good note, no broken ankles, which seems to be a fashion thing with the GITS.
Thanks to all that played, including our US players and Niagara players, and to Mark and Brian (a couple of new NOBs) that made it to the game. As well, I think the GITS are breeding, there were a number of new faces I have not seen before. We look forward to playing the GITS in September.
Our next contact game is not scheduled until September. But I know that Lockport has an alumni game in mid-late August that we should consider. Other activities will be happening (soccer, cricket, golf, touch) to keep us going through the summer.
Thanks for a good day.
Phil
