Blitz in the rain.. :/

Yesterday, Saturday, we had the Lucan Sarsfields School Camogie Blitz. It was such a horrible day for a blitz. The rain was torrential and it was really cold for the whole day. We thought that it would be called off when we got to to the club. To our disappointment, however, it was still going to go ahead.
We were unable to play on the pitches as they would have gotten destroyed with us playing on them in that rain. We had to play on the astro-turf pitch. We're not used to playing camogie on astro-turf so that made the blitz even more difficult.Nobody was enthusiastic about playing because of the weather conditions.
In order to get the blitz over as quickly as possible on one pitch, each match only lasted seven minutes. There was no time for fluting around for the first few minutes of the matches. You had to get stuck in right from the very first whistle. The seven minutes was up before we knew it. We played four matches. We won one match. We drew one match. We lost two matches.
Unfortunately, because we lost two matches, we didn't get to the final. If the day was in anyway better, we probably would have done so much better than we did.
Regardless of not doing well in the blitz, we are still preparing, working hard and training well for our semi-final which will be held the week after our mid-term break.

Niamh! :D
