A bit of catching up required again I'm afraid!
A couple of weeks ago the New Zealand football team had a chance to qualify for the World Cup through the "diddies" qualifying section play-offs. Their game against Bahrain was absolutely terrible but the NZ boys managed to score in the first half and then save a penalty in the second half. 1-0 New Zealand - a right good pumping in the World Cup here we come. (for those who don't know, the only other time NZ qualified they were in Scotland's group with Soviet Union and Brazil - NZ only scored two goals at the finals and both were against.....yep, us! But we did score 5 against them.)
Anyway - enough of the John Motson trip down footballing memory lane - the crowd went wild and it was a great party atmosphere in Wellington (where the game was being played.)
Katie and I went out early doors to get a good spot at the big free screening down at the waterfront but we needn't have bothered as only about 100 folk went down to the screen so we went to a pub instead.
The photo is us with Tim and Helen who I met through school - a lovely couple from Nottingham. None of look that happy but we were all pretty drunk and almost asleep due to the quality of football we had to endure.
