What a great last few days!
Vic and I left last Wednesday for Sydney and the Phoenix vs Sydney FC game on Friday night.
Thursday and Friday were spent shopping and just enjoying each others company. Then Friday night came around and it was game time!
We started off at the Fox and Lion pub where we managed to get about 30 Phoenix supporters together and that’s where the Jägerbombs started. Multiple drinks later, and after some little toe-rag stole my scarf, we were off to the football stadium for the 8pm kickoff.
From the NZ Herald
A last minute penalty gave the Wellington Phoenix a 2-1 upset win over Sydney FC in football’s A-League.
Shane Smeltz converted an 89th minute spot kick after Sydney captain Tony Popovic handled his cross inside the penalty area.
Leo Bertos gave Wellington a 1-nil lead after powering a near-post header past the Sydney goalkeeper in the 34th minute.
Sydney looked as if it might escape with a point after a 77th minute equaliser.
Behind the goal after the second goal there were far too may overweight men waving their shirts around their heads, me included. Vic got a lot of comments when she picked up Max from school so unfortunately my belly on the telly didn’t pass everyone by…… it even made the national sports program tonight!
It was really nice to get away for a few days with Vic and I think she enjoyed the break from the boys. The poor thing will need it when I’m away for two weeks!
After all that it was nice to get home to the boys and huge thanks to both their Grandmothers for looking after them over the weekend.
Now I need to make the most of it before I leave for Prague on Thursday.
