The Tuesday of half-term, my mum visited Jof, who was fresh out of hospital and doing ok, and Max and we went to the park to give her (us) some fresh air. Amazingly the Jonibobs met us there. Whilst the parents chatted, we set up our own game of football with 2 teams of two players, and we played for - get this - 25 minutes or so! We had goals (I scored one and I was the goalie!) and we even swapped positions.
Our parents were really proud of us for playing so well, and they realised that firstly we'd learned a lot from our Thursday training sessions and secondly that we really miss them. Our dads will have to sort out the Sunday morning games that our mums want them to do!
