Went over to Newport Pagnell, where Leighton United Ladies were facing MK Dons Ladies in a pre-season friendly. The barman was a little while appearing behind the bar, and on seeing me standing there he said “A word of friendly advice – never drink Old Rosie and then play cricket.” Seeing my Olympic hat, he proudly said he’d been to the Games yesterday.
“What did you see?” I asked.
“What’s the most wanted Olympic ticket? The event you’d want to see above any other?” he grinned.
“Athletics?”
“Try again.”
Knowing the swimming and rowing were over, I went for “Diving?”
“Beach volleyball,” he said with a huge smile, and showed me his photos on his phone of the ladies’ beach volleyball final.
Watched the men’s marathon supping a Bulmers No. 17 until it was time to head for the football pitch.
Leighton lost 5-0, but it was to opposition two divisions higher. I met club secretary Trevor, a couple of the players and some of the relatives who come and support them, and they all seemed a good bunch.
Made it home just in time to see Samantha Murray win the modern pentathlon silver. Can’t believe it’s all over now – I won’t be seeing the closing ceremony as I’d better get an early night ahead of my first day at work. Going to be left with a hole.
