It was Sam's turn at last to start his soccer season. He started out as goal keeper quite by surprise this morning. Our team is a little disorganised and unsure of what position they're supposed to play. The original goal keeper is away and the replacement got cold feet at the last minute, so I nominated Sam. Now it wasn't a nice thing to do I know but I knew that Sam would come through for us and do his best and not be too traumatised at the end of the first half. He hasn't had much practice as a goal keeper but he was brave and determined. He certainly stopped a few goals and tried his best, what more could you ask when you put your son in the deep end first?
He couldn't wait until half time when he could get onto the field for some "real playing". He was playing on the right midfield and had quite alot of running to do and did some fantastic tackling too. I'm very proud of Sam and how he will confront a game and just play. Even though he gets very crazy and excited at home before the game, when he's on the field he's very serious and just gets on with it. I really like the determination on his face in the picture below as he runs, he's second from the left in the yellow shirt.
