All a bit odd

[chickenfeet]

Yesterday I was in Lindsay to referee the second team game between the Nomads and Lindsay.  It was a peculiar day on a number of levels.  For starters it was the first time in weeks that I've done a game in less than tropical weather. Yesterday was cool and windy with intermittent light rain.  It felt good.  On the not so good side one of Lindsay's first team players had been killed in a cliff diving accident earlier in the week so things were pretty sombre with a couple of little commemoration ceremonies and a lot more people there than usual for a second team game.  It was also odd to be reffing a Nomads team that contained both people I played with and people I coached at U16 level.  For the record, the game was actually pretty good with no more nonsense than one would expect at that level.
