After an insanely long commute, I showed up at our first A-League game only to learn that our opponents didn't show up. Not one single player. Apparently, they recognized the futility of facing Big Stick and decided to hang on to what little dignity they had by hiding under a rock all night.
Although everyone was very disappointed at the lack of a game, we ended up getting a far better workout since we opted for a good 1.25 hours of Mini (1st and 2nd rules strictly enforced) followed by Tous' Slalom Drill of Attrition (started with 7 guys, ended with 4). I definitely spent most of the evening sucking wind and chasing Tous around a 20x30x6 field.
Sean and I finished things off right with a Pithari gyro. All things considered, it ended up being a very productive evening.

let me get this straight. i'm a chump cause i won't drive up for a game against CHS alums, but i would drive up to play you in some mini. i don't know how good CHS alums have gotten, but i think you're selling yourself short there, walt. you still got some run in them legs, old man.
i sang a very good rendition of the mini song that would have made JTF himself shed a tear. Hope that helped.
