We went to classes all day then had a team meal at 3pm. Tonight’s game kicked off at 7.30pm so it was nice and cool when we started after a hot day in Banner Elk. We were playing Kings College and they had a lot of foreign players like ourselves. We started sloppy in our first home game but came good by the end of the first half so we were 1-0 up after a penalty scored by D. In the second half there was a scuffle in the box and one of their players ran after one of ours and tried drop kicking him, which was quite stupid but also quite funny. He got a red card and then we controlled the game going 2-0 shortly after. Another win on the board.
