My legs ache and I have a sore throat from so much shouting but am happy I played my first league hockey match in 5 years following major knee surgery in 2004.

only downside is that some of my kit decided to fall to pieces so I've had to replace that little bit at a nice cost 750dhs. Hockey keeping can be an expensive sport

I bet I know someone who is better than you and who can get the best hocket sticks in the world...

Inselaffen

I'm a goalkeeper so having the best hockey stick is not of great importance.
its the pads that cost a fortune

Spugsy

yeah I play footy 3 times a week, monday, wed and fri and I basically ache every morning.

Inselaffen

would like to train every week to build up my fitness and reactions but it means bring my kit into work in the morning by taxi, getting a taxi to the pitch and a taxi home. works out at around 30 quid a training session!

Madam Medusa

still shit loads cheaper than any gym membership...go for it you old tight wad...

MM, xx

Spugsy

true, I pay about £25 3 times a week for cabs, footy etc...

Madam Medusa

you should seriously look into getting a driver...it must be cheaper than all these cabs...

Inselaffen

unfortunately since my change of jobs I have to be a tide wad! really not a huge amout left after paying my rent

MacScot

True...money can be tight, especially when the tide ebbs (tightwad !).

Spugsy

well I'm going to learn soon I reckon, I had a go of mrs spugsys jeep on the weekend and it was ace.

Spugsy

yeah I spent roughly AED 3k a month on cabs.

Euc-

Damn, you can hire a driver for less

Blue Cat

yes but you have to sponsor them, that's the downside
