No more sunburn

Very brief notes about day two and three of my tournament.

I burned around 4500 calories over the two days and as I did 5 games on Saturday and 4 on Sunday, I'm guessing the split was pretty even with maybe the odd 500 going the way of Saturday. I didn't enjoy the tournament as much as in previous years and it's had to put my finger on why this is.

It could have been the friction between referees as some felt favouritism was being shown to everyone but them (this always happens), could have been the standard of football played by the teams (seemed slightly higher in some games but very low in the others), could have been the lack of diversity of playing styles (only one team from outside Emgland whereas we normally have 5-6) but maybe it was because I was wary of getting injured. Whatever it was, I have doubts about taking part as a match official next season, but I may offer my services as a helper
