5 a Side
I'm going to post something funny. Well, funny at the time.

At college I was part of a 5-a-side team with an unblemished record. Of losses that is. We weren't bad, it's just that all the other teams were from the sports course and we were just playing for fun - we were, of course, athletic enough and all that, but just not to that honed level that was required...

One match stands out in that it was the best 5-a-side game I've ever played in. We played on an internal court with unforgiving walls - the game started off ok, we were holding our own in that we were winning - then it started off with a simple foul. I passed the ball away and stopped, the guy bearing down on me didn't and steam rolled me - when I got up, I decided that I'd repay the favour, but I just couldnt' get near him, but my mates could. What went on from there was so many off-the-ball incidents, blatant fouls, charging into the walls, etc.

We lost, of course but it went down in folklore as the best game that we played in and everyone watched (there was a big observation window in the canteen). The opposition thought so too - they were and some still are - our mates and we often talk about that game all those years ago.

Ok, not so funny, but it was a fantastic game in a non-malicious way.
