The Hammers are back!

I remember our first game of the season last year at Graves Oakley it was so cold and windy it was hard to even catch the disc. Last night thank goodness it was sunny and warm; although I am pretty sure the bugs got a good feed off us.

We were a bit rusty out there for our first game but we managed to sneak in a win over the Dodgeball whiny pants team. We had a great lead heading into the second half but then our cuts kinda became nonexistent and it became harder to get open. However, I think we will come together as a team as the season plays out. We always do :)

Luckily one of their better guys (but most annoying and intense guys!) will be sitting on the sidelines for a little bit with a broken leg (not as a result of last night’s game! Don’t worry we didn’t hurt any of them! He came that way, I swear. ) We only had to listen to him yell to his team from his chair as opposed to being a douche on the field.

Despite the bugs we had a great game with a few highlights of the evening.
  1. Scott bring along his buddy Joey who turned out to be the STAR of the game 
  2. Husband to wife (Chris to Aimee) throw, ending in a one handed catch, to grab another point for the hammers!
  3. Joey towering over everyone effortlessly catching the disc, resulting in many points
  4. We had a few layout attempts! Lynda, and Greg for sure 
  5. Sick defense skills! Slap the disc down!!! Colleen, Jen, Jay and Scott 
  6. Me managing to throw it into the hands of the gal playing D on me. Not only once but TWICE! (maybe not a highlight…..) 
 The Muskol Insect Repellent player of the game has to go to Joey, our new founded Ringer!

The only question I have from last night’s game is “Where was my player of the game beer!!??”
