READY?!

“Ready! Ready! Ready! Are you Ready?” Georgina could hear her sister’s bark on this the morning of her wedding but she chose to continue searching for the Vera Wang shoes, the perfect companions to her Vera Wang gown. She rummaged at the back of her wardrobe until cold air caused her to rouse, the hoar-frosted Pavilion of hockey creeping into view. “Ready, Ready! Ready! Snapped Harriet as all stared at Georgina’s unbound feet, her team mates scurrying hither and thither for suitable options, like Cinderella’s godmother. A shrill whistle commenced the game and Birthday Beccs threw herself on the ground, rebuffing, recoiling and taking it for the team, sleek Lydia sliced inaudibly through Maidstone’s lines, her physical presence loud and proud, Birthday Nat cleared shots to connect with mids and forwards, Beth ran faun-like all afternoon, Mr Tumnus on Red Bull. A fairy tale goal was scored from a perfect corner hit out by Harriet, scored by Harriet and celebrated the loudest, by Harriet who was most definitely ready and whilst Maidstone scored two, Blackheath were without doubt consummate challengers, Georgina being the *ick of the Day for being footwear challenged, Beth, Man o’ Match for persistent brilliance and wearing her own shoes.
