So they played a game amongst themselves while I took some piccies from the shade on the sideline – I’m still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. The temperatures were searing (26 deg. C I think) so there were some very hot looking pink hockey players by the end of their game.

Except I decided to dislocate my shoulder last week instead :P The opposition for the day were ‘Out 2 Score’. Unfortunately my batteries were running on empty so I couldn’t load up the LCD screen to change the ISO settings/exposures so the pictures are all messed up and then it ran totally flat after only taking a few shots :( Hopefully I’ll get some better shots next time.

Deb Handock scores off an assist from Paula Ross

Paula dribbles, Paula passes, Deb scores! Yay :)

Deb is also my physiotherapist so fingers crossed she’s as skilled with treating dislocated shoulders as she is at scoring goals!

Satisfaction: Deb Handcock and Paula Ross after their goal

Paula and Deb looking very satisfied with their achievement!
