Boiling Guys Vs Fair Dinkum

I was throwing like a mad woman during one of the open tryouts/practice section. I must be hella stressed that day 'coz i was throwing at people with killer strength. Even hit a girl in the face and she fell on the ground. I felt terrible and i walked all the way over to the other side of the court to apologize and make sure she was okay.

Towards the end of the practice section. A dude from one of the co-ed team approached me and said, "obiviously it's not your first time playing is it?"
Me, "No, I've been playing for 2 seasons already."
Dude said, "I'm wondering if you wanna play in my team?"
I was looking at him in shock, then said, "Ermm... I'm usually not that good. Seriously!"
Dude said, "Well, you played very well as I see it."
I smiled humbly and asked, "Which team are you in?"
Dude said, "The Boiling Guys! We won 3rd place in last season's Division 1."

OMG! The Boiling Guys? Of course I know who they are! They're one of the top teams in the league. The Boiling Girls has been the champion in the women's division since I started playing.

I said, "Ohhh! Boiling Guys?! You guys dont' have enough girls?"
Dude said, "We only have one girl in our team and we're looking for another one."
I told him, "I wasn't sure if my friend's new co-ed team have enough girls. If they do, I'd be happy to join you guys. I'll let you know... but seriously... I SUCK! Ask the league organizer! He knows how bad I play."
Dude laughed.

Dude got my email regardless and left for his own team practice. I couldn't believe that I just got recruited. I wasn't sure if I'm qualified for division1 co-ed games. Those guys are VERY STRONG and you don't wanna get hit by them! I really don't wanna bring their team down and disappoint them.

A week later, we had the very last open tryout/practice before the season began. I came and found out that my friend's new co-ed team has recruited 3 girls already. Still, I wasn't going to confirm The Boiling Guys unless they ask again. And they did. The one girl in their team will be out of town for their first game of the season and asked me to promise to show up for them. If not, they will have to play one person short.

So I went. Played in a co-ed game for the very first time! It was a lot of fun!! Usually they hit the strong guys out of the game first. So the girl is usually the last target. As long as I stay in the game and throw only when they need me to, I'm good. See how we finished one of the set in the below clip :)
