Steelers Matches

Yesterday there were 2 home matches for the Kings Cross Steelers, their second and third teams (I didn't even know they had a third team!). I was off work so wanted to attend both, but the first was kicking off at 11 and I didn't manage to get my act together, to leave home, until about then anyway, arriving just before midday. I watched what remained of the 3rd's match, which turned out to be a few ex-players and some new guys playing against a gay team down from Derby, the Panthers, on a smaller makeshift pitch. The Steelers lost. Sexy Ed was there watching so I chatted to him for a bit and also to another guy called Jordan.
I then waited around for the 2nd's match to start. It was originally due to start at 2, they sent out a Facebook message and email saying it had been rescheduled for 1, but then it started at about 2 anyway. I was wrapped up warm but my toes were freezing by this point. I barely managed to survive the match. During the 2nd's match I chatted briefly to a few more people, I like that I'm getting to know more people the more matches I attend. One of the guys was Niall, who is also quite sexy, and also lives close to Clapham. Douglas was also there (I was really spoiled for choice with sexy men), but he seemed really interested in the guy he was there with, David, who was gorgeous.
As soon as the match had finished and the teams were clapped off the pitch (the Steelers won) I walked quickly back to the clubhouse to warm my tootsies up. It took a while for anyone I knew well enough to talk to to get there but I was chatting to lots of guys pretty soon.
It turns out that there was also a party there that night, for a player called Daz's birthday. It had a Family Guy theme and although a few people dressed up, some in great costumes, it didn't matter and everyone was invited.
I won't go into details for the night, mostly because I can't remember much detail, but I know that I got called up to the stage and stood on a chair for a drinking "forfeit," my first one. I feel like I'm beginning to belong. I vaguely recall making a trip to the cash machine and take-away during the night, and snogging some guy I'd never met before (and him not really being my type) before getting the Tube home with a group of about 6 guys and all having a very loud sing-song nearly all the way home (apologies to the other passengers on that train). I got in had some food (thankfully) and went to bed just after midnight.

What a fantastic day and night, I loved it!!!

I had a lay in this morning and suffered only a headache, likely and added 2 friends on Facebook during the day today, thanks to the party last night. I was tempted to request a few more (like Niall and Doug's gorgeous mate), but think I will wait until I've got to know them a bit more first.
