As the sky darkened, the boys ran, skated and rode to the park to have a round of football action to celebrate Ethan’s birthday. The so called ‘friendly’ match was not for the faint hearted.. It would have been mistaken for a World Cup Final, as the onlooking parents would have testified. Alexander was swept off his feet from a wrongly timed tackle while on a jinking run en route to goal, and the ever gungho Elise soldiered on despite the many scratches,and an own goal was scored from an attacking corner??Although Ethan’s team lost 2-3, he scored the equalising goal and he went ABSOLUTELY delirious
