Emma played in a nail biting championship football match today completing the fall intramural season. On Monday, they suffered a defeat against their undefeated rival "The Red Team" (Both the Greens and the Reds had gone into Monday's game undefeated, but Red's strong offence proved unstoppable).

Today's final championship game pitted the Reds and Greens once again. It began with rain, turning much of the field into sticky mud. The kids played hard ending the first half in a 0-0 tie. In the second half, Red came out strong scoring two quick goals. It didn't look good for Green. But the kids rallied and Green came back scoring twice to tie the score again. The play seemed even until the final few minutes when Green made a hard rush and scored a third goal -- ending the game in a 3-2 win! The Green team were overjoyed.

Emma and her team had

a fun but muddy time!
