Varsity Football Match 2014

At 11 weeks pregnant I played my last football (soccer) match (game) of the season against Oxford. We were up 2-0 at half, and my coach said I had 10 more minutes on the pitch (field) before I was coming off in the second half. At the 10-minute mark I scored a goal (3-0) and promptly proceeded to walk off the pitch straight to the sideline. It was an epic last moment of play with my amazing team. We won 4-0, and finally gave way to taunting the other team by singing "Cambridge till I die" (a lovely little ditty, much more tame than other Varsity songs). During the formal dinner I announced to the team that there was going to be a little light blue (not as in a boy, but as in a mini Cambridge baby; Oxford as known as the blues, and Cambridge are the light blues). Here are the pics for a reenactment of the most joyous moment of my football/soccer career:
