Song: I feel like I'm drowning - Two Feet

I sat on the sidelines of the pitch, watching as my teammates dominated the opposing team like they had been all of the game. I was currently sat on the subs bench, watching as the game was beginning to draw to an end.

I had my black rugby kit on, my hair in two long braids and Erling's thick coat wrapped around me, protecting my exposed skin from the cold air. I rubbed my thighs quickly, trying to brush away the goosebumps which were lining them from the cold wind.

I had agreed to play some of this weeks game. I didn't want to push myself before the big game against Liverpool Women's next week, so I was going to play for the last twenty minutes of today's game. I wanted to make sure that I was fit and ready for next week.

Our subs shouted louder, cheering as Imogen ran quickly, her feet smashing rapidly against the dry grass before she glided across the floor, hitting the opposing team's try line with the rugby ball.

Our team cheered and began to gather in the middle of the pitch, celebrating her try.

Mia took the ball, ready to convert Imogen's try and secure us some more points. I quickly swapped shirts with the team member I would be taking off the pitch, reclaiming my number 1 shirt.

Mia drew her leg back and powerfully kicked the ball, it flew high in the air before landing directly over the middle of the goal post. The girls whistled as she jogged back to the centre of the pitch.

After a few seconds, I put my gum shield in and took my normal position, ready to finish the game.

Today's game had been a complete domination, our team finishing 55-10, the win had given us the points we needed to climb higher up the league. I had made numerous powerful tackles and I was confident that I'd be able to perform in next week's game.

I took the plaits out of my hair, as I started getting ready for tonight's social. The theme for this week was lifeguards. I had on a cropped yellow lifeguard t-shirt alongside a very short red skort, paired with my black converse.

My curly hair fell down my back from the braids, looking like beach waves. I did my winged eyeliner and makeup, sprayed my perfume and grabbed my stuff, ready to go to Ella's flat.

The familiar music boomed in her flat, as I walked down the corridor. It felt good to be properly back.

The flat door swung open, revealing a very happy Imogen, who already looked drunk. I laughed as she flung herself at me, wrapping me in a tight embrace.

"You look hot," She shouted down my ear, I looked her up and down to see that she was wearing tight red shorts, a yellow vest, two barbie arm bands and pink goggles.

I laughed out loud.

"Likewise, Imogen, likewise," I teased. She smacked me on the back of the head before shoving me down the corridor and into the kitchen.

As we did at every pres, we filled the bucket up with a wide mix of alcohol and began to drink and dance.

Everyone was enticed in their own conversations and were beginning to feel buzzed when Imogen announced that it was time for this week's socials game.
