Reality check

The last couple of weeks have provided good illustrations of the reasons we play sport and how sport at our level fits into the order of things.

Nick's shocking accident was followed by HAC feeling embarrassed at turning up with 8, losing one of their better players to a nasty facial injury ( fractured cheek bone) but still putting up a doughty performance. No matter how well or badly we play eventually it all comes down to enjoyment and the need to relax after a stressful week - even if selling kitchens in Homebase.

On occasions sport has a tendency to ask the question " are you sure it is enjoyable" and HAC could well have felt that after the game on Saturday. Hopefully for their sake, and in particular Tim, that the knocks they took last week were not in vain.

Sport is important but not the be all and end all so as we are all lucky enough to play or take part in the sport of hockey lets enjoy it to the max whilst we can.
