Great week for sport
-
<p>And my side won their major semi on the weekend and will play a GF in 2 weeks. Fucking ripper of a weekend sporting-wise</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(We won't mention the Warriors. Or BOP. Or Liverpool. Fuck. Okay, put me down for a c+)</p> -

<p>I'm the same but only coming of three matches, ABs, Magpies and Warriors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was nice to read about the Olympics on the thread here though. It played out like a good drama. On one page there was no way Ko was going to get a medal and then a few pages later she had a silver.</p> -

<p>Suspect those comments were from people who dont follow Lydia too often. She normally really makes her move in rounds 3 and usually 4 (not so much this time). Always get the best TAB odds end of round 2.</p> -

<p>Their bandwagon went past my house before the Souths' match. Lots of noise and flashing lights - it looked like it might be fun and I thought about getting on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, I wisely resisted the temptation and so my week was not dampened in the slightest! :)</p> -

<p>haha. That bandwagon has burned me too many times. I refuse to jump on, and always expect the worst. Still rubbish when they get another flogging though. </p> -

<p>I think it was KP who noted that anyone in our athletics team who was half a chance for a medal got one and I think that almost extends across all sports for last week.</p>

<p>I'm pretty astute huh?</p>

<p>I was happiest for Luuka Jones who has been toiling away for years slowly rising up the rankings but nobody gave her a chance of a medal. She's been in Europe every summer since she was 17, so that's over a decade of commitment and finally a day of glory. Plus of course she's a local.</p> -

<p>And when she was asked how she was going to celebrate ... "I'm not sure, maybe go back to my room and have a hot chocolate"</p> -
ABs, Canterbury, Saints, NZ Pole Vault medal, and the kids won their sporting games.
