Closing The Gap

Hey team,

Great, fun game last night - despite the loss. What a difference it makes, playing a team of comparable skill and sportsmanship.

Perhaps inspired by the much-anticipated re-emergence of founding Hammer Derek Land, whose HURL lineage traces all the way back to the pre-BoH team "XXX" (Vin Diesel and/or pornography and/or moonshine associations unclear), or perhaps feeling more like a team with our fancy new numbered duds, or perhaps responding to the enthusiastic cheering of one Oliver McAfee - we were able to score 10 points (some very impressive), nearly closing a three point gap before coming up just short at the end.

Confidence. Hands. Legs. Effort. It's all coming together. IT'S ALL HAPPENING!

Nods to Chantal, as Freeman's BBQ Chicken Pizza Player Of The Game, for her series of snags and successful dumps (heh heh - of the Frisbee), which are all the more impressive considering this is apparently her first foray of sports of any kind. Huzzah! Consolation nods to Derek for his precision bombs, which soared unaffected by both the wind and his 10-month break from the game; to Deidre for some quality handling, and to Mighty Mike for his scoring ability and effort - ripping his hat off in dramatic showy fashion whilst running down a long end-zone bomb (there was audible gasping… from me).

Conversely, thumbs down to Maria for providing medical attention to an injured opponent, thereby sqhashing any chance of leaving them short-handed. I'm kidding of course. Related: our spirit score has been upgraded from "green checkbox" to "yellow star", meaning… ?

Great game everybody - see you all next week!
Kisses,
-AA

I'm predictably honoured at the double nod, and grateful for your focus on my throwing and careful exclusion of any mention of my inept catching.

Fine showing Hammers. I hope to see you all again next week.
