I guess this is something that everyone who plays competitive sports experiences at some point, but I feel this one particularly strongly as it could have been avoided.
I've been thinking for the last year that dropping to Div 2 may have been a good idea as our team is slowly getting weaker as our most experienced players leave university. The part that irks me is the word 'relegation', and that despite our goal difference (one of the better ones throughout the whole tournament) we were being chucked out of the best games we'd played because over half our A-team couldn't make the date.
Either way, what's happened has happened - so now we wait to compete in Div 2 after summer, and try and reclaim some honour.
My one comfort is that in the games which mattered most (the hardest ones) I was playing on form - so that makes up for some of my grief.
About Me
- Paul Walker
- Where do I begin? I'm a student of Astrophysics at the University of Glasgow. My main interest is in Astronomy, but they say I can't do that on its own so I'm stuck. Been enjoying a successful year this year as President of the Astronomy Society, and am looking forward to handing over the reigns later this year. I'm a steadfast lover of classical music, particularly of the works of Tchaikovsky in the Romantic Era. This interest led me to compose music throughout my time at high school and uni. I am a keen (if not very good) kayaker. In the last five years, I have been on the University Canoe Clubs committee twice, on three trips to the French Alps, and have paddled 44 different rivers. Suffice it to say it's become a passion.
