Day 38 - Communicare Action Soccer League

Finally! The Communicare Action Soccer League takes place. About time too!

For those that don't know, the Communicare Action Soccer League (CASL) is an annual 5-a-side tournament, run by Communicare, based at the Italian Club's Futsal pitches. The tournament is split into Juniors and Seniors. There are 4 Junior teams, and 6 Senior teams. The teams play eachother once, and the team that has the most points at the end, wins the league.

After Joe called us at 10, telling us to meet him at Italian Club at 11, we quickly got up, ready and left. We were a tiny bit late, but no sign of Joe so we were okay.
Waited for about 20 minutes. Still no sign of Joe. We ended up messaging Jodi, who told us that they were waiting for us at Joes house. Brill. We drove off, and got there as quick as we could. As one of the adults who was meant to transport the Ruyterwacht girls team cancelled, we had to completely fill the car with 3 of the girls, plus Jaden, and drive them to the pitches, where they were playing their first game against the Drommedaris girls we coached yesterday. We both expected the Ruyterwacht girls to walk it, but the Drommedaris lot actually played really well, and even managed to equalise, making it 1-1 the result. Must have been our quality coaching yesterday!

The 2nd game to play was a friendly between last years senior winners Woodstock, and this years favourites Ruyterwacht. As they were a bit short on numbers, and had a game to play straight after, both Martin and I got a chance to play for Ruyterwacht, in what was our first proper game of football since flying out here.
Well, I'm glad they brought me on because I bagged a cheeky hat trick, and Ruyterwacht won the game 6-4! I'll take full credit for that! Haha.

Ruyterwacht then had to play in their first competitive game, against the coaches team, Coaches United. It was an action packed game that eventually ended 7-6 to Ruyterwacht, after they were behind the whole game.

We didn't stay for much longer, because we needed to drop some of the Ruyterwacht girls team back home, so ended up leaving at around 3. Got home at just before 4, got changed and headed down to Mixas to see what game was on (it was Man Utd-Sunderland, poor game in my opinion!) and watch that with a few drinks.

After that was over we headed home to chill out in the lounge watching movies on the TV and just relaxing in general. Tomorrow there are a few big games on so we plan on watching those, before heading down to GrandWest to see the almighty Jason Mraz perform! Happy days!
