I don't think I've heard a louder roar than when we scored the winning goal with just over a second remaining in the match. I'm told by reliable sources that the Aussie team grabbed a couple of slabs of amber fluid after the medal presentation and are still celebrating in the locker rooms. By Friday, there could also be another group of Aussie women cracking a tinnie or two. Our field hockey team is red-hot and primed to win. The game might be played on grass, but this sport is tough, rough and willing.
