Dropped

I've been dropped and I am mightily pissed off by it.

I have played Hockey since my mid teens and have enjoyed it immensely. Lately as my time commitments have been a bit extreme I've just been playing the winter season and not training. For the first four week of this season I've played in our club's sixth team. It is not a particularly high standard but given my fitness level I have enjoyed it and enjoyed the guys I've been playing with.

This week however I've been dropped to the 7's. I've been trying to tell myself not to be concerned, all I want is a "run around the park", it doesn't matter where I play etc - but I can't help it I'm pissed off. I was enjoying playing in the team I was. I thought I was doing OK, well even. We were winning or drawing games and this team had failed to win a game all last year, so the team was working well.

I'm sure there is a reason for it, I just hope it a good one. (Yes I'm bitter - I just need some time to calm down a bit.)
