Hello,
These last few weeks we had 2 games, one for the France cup and one for the championship. Both of these games were vs the same team La Garde (N1).
It's always nice to win the France cup game but when it comes down to it, it is the championship game that matters the most. To prepare for these games we had a long week with 2 trainings a day with me being the only goalie for the morning practices.
We used the 1st game vs La Garde as learning game to see what would work against them and to see how they played. We won France cup game 28-34 with a half time score of 10-18, i was the only goalie that dressed for this game and played a good first half but not such a great 2nd half.
Our second game was this past weekend at La Garde and it was very important for us to win if we wanted the dream of moving up to D2 to stay alive. The game started out great with us being up 10-4 after 15 min but like in past games we then went 10 min without scoring and La Garde caught up with the score being 10-9 around the 25 min mark. We ended the half up 14-11.
The second half was much like the first with ups and downs (including myself) with us ending the game with 3 points and the score of 26-25. We were happy for the win but knew that we were lucky to squeak by. After the game we received some good news because the 1st place team in our league had lost their game which puts us currently in second and we will play against the 1st place team next weekend (at home) and a win will put us in first place.
This past week due to the G20 being held in Cannes things here have been kinda crazy. 400++ cops moved in to the same resort as us from all over France to act as security for the world leaders that were about to arrive. To make things even more crazy, at random times of the day the police would close down main roads for anywhere from 10min to an hr when the world leaders were being moved from one place to another.
Once the craziness of the G20 started to slow down then the rain kicked in for 3 days straight causing many other problems. The rain here can only be compared to what i have experienced in Brazil. It rained hard for 3 days straight causing many main roads to be closed down, some roads were under more then 2m of water (see my fb video if you get a chance). Today it has been cloudy but no rain so hopefully things will start to get back to normal soon.
This week is all about preparing for our home game this weekend which is a must win for us.
Bisous
