Girls rock the field

IT was a bright Sunday morning and I was in Penang at a football competition for veterans – trying very hard to convince myself that I could still cut it on the field.

Then, a little girl decided to show me her stuff. She reached barely to my waist but, boy was she tenacious. We were at the sidelines while a game was going on but she had a ball in hand and wanted to take on someone. And she so wanted to beat me. Thank God, she didn’t – I wouldn’t have been able to live it down with friends who were watching.
