The furtherest any of the superleague teams I have played for have ever made it before are the semis. And even then we didn’t have a chance of winning. Until now.

Tonight, my superleague division 2 mixed b team from kawana will front browns plains for the title of winner. I have never had that within my reach before and I am so damn nervous.

A few years back the kawana mens a team made it through to the final (when we were still in division 1) and all of us girlsl showed up with banners and horns and everything loud (there are pics on facebook, we even had painted faces). We screamed and cheered the boys on. It was a HUGE deal, and we were such loud supporters the other teams didn’t have a chance to make a peep. I don’t know how the boys managed under such pressure, but they did and came up with the goods.

Now it’s my turn. This year kawana has 4 teams that made the finals, and one of the other teams play at the same time as us. This means the cheering will be spread, but there will still be an audience.

So why am I nervous? I want to play at my absolute best, I don’t want to say at the end of the game that I let anyone down. I want to be the best damn defence out there. So at the moment all I can do is to be positive, have faith in my abilities, stay on my toes, and get out there and do what my coaches have trained me to do.

Damn I hope we win.
