Down River Rush Game!

So last Thursday, I had a soccer game against down river rush. It was my very first game with Plymouth, and I was so scared! The field that we where playing at, was about 45 minutes away so i had to leave as soon as i got home from school. When I got to the field I was the first one there, so I put on my shin guards and shoes, and tried to settle my pre game jitters with a warm up. Soon enough the rest of my team was there, and we where all warming up, talking, and laughing. When it came time to get checked in, we met the ref for the first time. He was a plump older guy and you could tell in his voice that he was not from around here. he came over to us and said
"What time is it?"we all looked around a little confused, and then one of my teammates Gusty said
"Uahh game time?" We all laughed but where still confused as to why he was asking the question when he had a watch on his wrist.
"Good," he said "Now we know that no one has a clock and that no one controls the minutes but me. Now look," he pointed to his whistle "Do you what that this is?" We all nodded. "As you know this is a whistle, its my whistle, which means that I make that calls, I control the game. Got it?" We all nodded yes and he left us with "Good luck ladies. Play clean." but apparently he forgot to tell the other team the same thing...


So we where in the second half with about 20 minutes left in the game, when I got attacked. I was dribbling down the right side of the field on a breakaway, when all of a sudden i see a defender for the other team coming at me on my left. I was near the top of the box when I got slide tackled. As my feet tumbled out from under me, I flipped over and just dropped to the ground. The next thing I remember was my teammates over me yelling "ARE YOU OKAY?!" I just layed there. My sholder was stiff, and the back of my neck was throbbing. I just thought to myself "Ohmygod, oh my god. I'm hurt again." As memories of what happened to me last year in gym, and being taken away ambulance started to cross my mind, I started crying. I was scared. Scared to move my neck. Scared to get up. Scared to talk. I didn't want what happened to me before, to happen again.

The next thing i knew, I heard my coach screaming.
"SHE'S HURT!" he hollered "I NEED TO GET ON THE FIELD!" It took me awhile to figure out that he was talking to the ref! The ref would not let him on the field!
"SHE'S FINE" yelled back the ref.
"NO SHE'S NOT! SHE'S CRYING!" Miki screamed back. I knew I had to get up. I didn't want to, but I had to. Slowly I got up. Tears streaming down my face, I realized that I was okay! Still really shaken up, i started wiping the tears from my face, and just looked arround.
"THAT WAS A DIRTY TACKLE!" yelled my teammate Victoria. "ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE HER A RED CARD OR WHAT REFF?!" she pointed to the girl that had mugged me. The ref reached into his pocket, and pulled out a red card. Then he made a move that no one expeced. He pointed the card at Victoria! Our whole side started screaming and yelling at the ref. Victoria, incredibly pissed stormed off the field.
"Girls come here!" hollered Miki. Our whole team went over to the side line, asking the girls on the bench to hand us our water, because we could not step off the field. All of a sudden the ref blew his whistle. We looked over and watched the other team starting to dribble down the field towards our goal! Our whole team ran back, trying to catch the girls. Our goalie Becca ran back as fast as I've ever seen her run, but it was to late. They tapped the ball in, and the ref counted it as a goal, even though the play had stopped, and they where offsides by a mile. "That's it girls! We're done!" Miki said. "Were leaving," We all gathered up our stuff and left the field with 20 minutes still left in the game.

Scene then our team has sent in a letter, trying to protest the game. We haven't heard anything yet, but we're hoping for a re-match, and another chance to kick their butts!
