Hi Bat Friends!
Due to extraordinarily crappy weather in Sydney this weekend, all the Bats games were cancelled - boooo! And playing in the rain is so much fun too, instead, we had to go down to
The Golden Barley and drink beer. Yay!
Luckily, there's plenty of other stuff happening in women's soccer down under ;-p
