More soggy, muddy soccer


It seems to be the theme this spring that all soccer tournaments are to be played in the rain and mud. Well, that remained consistent when we went to Bowling Green, Kentucky for another soccer tournament. Our first game was scheduled at 4:00. It was misting on and off during the game, but not rain. However, it had been raining and the fields were awfully muddy. Our second game was at 7:30pm and again, we escaped a downpour of rain but still had mist and mud.

It rained that night and our first game was at 8:00am, so half the team was on their way back to Kentucky when the tournament director cancelled the rest of the tourament. We had won one game and lost one and based on how they calculate points, we were in second place. I was hoping we'd get a trophy anyway and get a picture to attach to this blog, but as of yet, we have not received anything. I've never been to a tournament where they've cancelled it so I'm not sure if we'll get anything based on our standings when they cancelled it.

Anyway, I got some picture you might enjoy seeing the conditions they played in!


I like this picture - you can see the mud on Christian's hand - he'd already fallen

We actually got one of the better fields on the first game
