Last week I played football for the first time in 8 years, but this week I got to sing the club victory song for the first time in 8 years, and it felt REALLY good.
It was a tight game at three-quarter time, but Pennant Hills played the last quarter like how I've tried to live me life: they just focused on the game plan, and the result took care of itself. We won the game by 40 points.
The game could have gone either way at 3/4 time, but the Demons had faith in their game plan and their mates, and it started to show on the scoreboard. Thanks to some super human efforts from some of the mighty Dees, (Hoops had so many tackles his arms were sore after the game, and Darch - the fittest bloke at the Pennnant Hills Football Club - ran harder than I've seen a footballer run in a long time) Pennant Hills Div 4 went into the rooms and sang the victory song.
The game was won because we didn't get distracted by the thought of winning, we just focused on the task that lay in front of us, did it as well as we could, and went back in the rooms after the game and sang the song with gusto.
"It's a grand old flag..."
