Soccer Final

Elaine and I were out this evening to watch Mike play in the city soccer final game.  His team had won the quarter final and semi final and were up against the top team in the final tonight.  Unfortunately they lost tonight but they played a good game.  

The temperature was about 10C with light rain so it was quite cool out watching at Mosaic stadium/ Taylor field. There were about 35 - 40 fans in the stands watching the game in the rain and cold weather. A temperature of 10C may not sound that cold but with the rain and some wind it is cold enough.  We had warm jackets with hoods up and gloves, and with a quilt across us and an umbrella.  Quite a few of the others had umbrellas as well.  We fared reasonably well watching the game for 1 and  1/2 hours,  but we did not hang around for the team pictures and awards.        

Now we are at home having hot drinks of tea and warming up.

Tough game in the cold and damp. You did well to stick it out for 90 minutes.
