Can I haz plaster pleez

I think I broke my toe:




This was done during the St Andrews beach korfball tournament in which my team finished eighth - a pretty good effort since we were half beginners and I was nominally the captain. Our first team won it overall, although I at least scored against them in a 5-1 defeat.

Buggered toe was caused by my kicking a team-mate on the ankle, which she said was quite painful. I agreed. Playing the last two or three matches wasn't so much fun afterwards, due in part to the toe and partly because running around in deep sand can be a bit tiring, especially after seven hours under a hot sun. Got a lovely tan line on my forehead...

Another team-mate also broke a toe.

Next week the Mavericks bandwagon limps to Stockholm, where we'll hopefully win more than one game!

In other news, a good bit of excellent cup rugby this weekend. Well done Leeds (thoroughly entertaining game) and Hull FC (scraped past a stuttering Bradford) who are now into the semi-finals with St Helens and Wakefield.

That's nasty looking! Are you going to get it checked out?

I thought about it, but there's not a lot they can do with it I suspect. My team-mate went to hospital earlier in the day and they just put a teeny splint on it. Mine at least appears to be at the right angle!

ow ow ow!

I forgot all about the weekend away actually, but I would prefer to play a few games in practice before trying a tournament of any level really.

Good luck next weekend.

No worries, although I partly contend that the best way to learn is by playing! The beginners' tourney in September (ish) might be good.

Yesh! I think I'll get Lorraine to kiss it better.

how did you manage to fit a grape inside your toe?

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

Not sure, but I'll maybe squeeze it later...

Ooooooowwwwwwwwwiiieeeee, that looks sore :( I hope it gets better soon! So is it actually broken?!

No idea! I'm not sure - I heard a crack, but then again it doesn't seem painful enough, but conversely, things rarely bruise so quickly!
