Oklahoma Baptist Univ. and Delta State

Saturday 13th Sept
Oklahoma game was played in heat of near 100 degrees, to say I was felt it would be an understatement! We went into half-time all square1-1 and came out forgetting to play so good and ended up losing 5-1. Hopefully that was a lax in concentration and never to be seen by us again. I played the full 90 again and played arite coach said one of few players to get pass marks. I'm sure all the boys will use this game as a reminder of how hard we need to work!


Tuesday 16th Sept
Delta state came from Mississippi on a cool evening and found themshelves up 2-0 before we even realised they kicked off. After that shock, we fought back and equalised sending the game into overtime. We should have went on to win the game having 26 shots on their goal. I had another opportunity to score but the keeper made an outstanding(well kinda) save. In america if the game is tied at 90 mins it goes into extra time golden goal. And if nobody scores then it remains a draw. A strange way to do it but it makes it exciting!!


Anyways since we have a big conference game on tuesday against Freed-Hardemaan we have got saturday and sunday off. So i'm planning to spend it sleeping and watching American football which I'm getting into! First time i've slept past 9 for ages and I enjoyed it :)

Take care

Michael
