End of a Season, Start of Another...

Alright, to sum up how this netball season went let's just say we never did end up having a training, our team was quite inconsistent with Ellen moving after the first game and just other players being unavailable some weeks making it so we never had the same people each week and constantly having to get fill-ins. However we did end up winning one game with the score being 13-16, we recruited two players who had never played a proper game of netball before, Tahnee Granger and Jaclyn (Jacy) Crosley, and we did have a lot of fun despite losing the majority of the time.

Well this Tuesday just gone was our last game of the season and prior to that we decided we would like to continue playing because it has been quite fun, except this time play mixed netball instead of just women's, so after we finished the game we filled out a registration form for a mixed netball team. Our new team will consist of Deborah, Jacy, Tahnee, Sarah Willoughby, Dane Granger, Jared Willoughby, Mitchell Herrick, and myself with our backups being Lauren, Eleazar (Ezz) Quinto and Seth Mutton. We were struggling to come up with a name so thanks to me we will be called CHOCOLATE THUNDERRR as this was the one most people agreed on...they didn't like the idea of Humpback Whales or White Lightning so Chocolate Thunder was the winner. Our season starts on the 11th of August so hopefully this season our team will be more consistent than before, we will be able to get on well, play well together, have as much fun if not more fun than before, and be able to achieve the things that I wasn't able to able achieve last season.

Well anyways, getting off the topic of netball I recently received another cousin that I forgot to mention previously, Olivia Mahoney born 12:01 on the 19th of May, daughter of Mel Kelly and Andrew Mahoney. This makes her my 18th cousin on the Mahoney side of the family and my 31st cousin all up. We saw her the other day when Aunty Mel dropped Charlotte at our house and brought Olivia with her. Olivia has grown a fair bit from when we first saw her at the hospital, she is looking pretty healthy and is quite pretty so you can tell she will be attractive when she gets older. Despite Olivia's growth, this hasn't really changed mum's first reaction to her, I think mum wants to steal her...

Well, I think this will be all for now, although I shall have to keep you updated on how CHOCOLATE THUNDERRRR goes this season.
