That's right, tonight at league it was Jackson vs Jackson. Penny and Al's team (Go Ballooning) played against my team (Annunaki). Pre-game they were talking up how much they wanted to beat me. I said if I lost I'd probably cry...so the stakes were high!
The game was a cracker. Annunaki got the first lead but Go Ballooning pulled ahead in the middle of the game. Two moments in particular were crucial. Firstly, I got a huge aerial block on Al...ok there was a little contact and I only helped to fire up the other team. The second moment was when Pen had the disc. I went to poach off on a throw to Vickie, when out of no-where she throws this blady flick break to my player in the corner of the endzone (I taught her that!).
Finally the siren goes and Go Ballooning are up by 1. Thankfully after some good offense Annunaki score. Everyone shakes hands. Then Go Ballooning suggest that we play a sudden death point to get a winner. Annunaki agrees. Go Ballooning throw a couple passes and then try a break throw but it just misses Vickie. Annunaki disc 20m out from the enzone on the sideline. I pick up the disc throw a break flick (which Adam was wisely telling the mark not to let me throw) to Dan for the goal and the win...and the glory of being the number 1 Jackson!
Sounds like a very exciting game. You know I would have been saying leave it as a tie! Anyway good they didn't have to see a grown man cry! Love Mum
