We have a different drawer than 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: the boys, so we play less games, so we've only 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: played two games. They won their first one and it 14 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 2: was a pretty tight battle until about thirty seconds and 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: unfortunately we got scored against, so we went down one 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: mill so that was a bit hard. But we just 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: got back from training so we're back on the balls 18 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: and now there are two lot of games in the 19 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: next two days, so awesome. 20 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Now, who are you playing in your next two games? 21 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: So the next one is Armed Forces and and they're 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: not a bad team. We've watched them so they're pretty good. 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: And then we'll have to confirm with the drawer on 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: the next one after that. 25 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And Michelle, what has the competition been like, 26 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: I mean, has has it been what you're expecting? Has 27 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: it been faster paced than you know, than what you 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: might have expected? Talk us through that? 29 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: Well, I said, we said to the girls before we 30 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: came here, and we'll warn them all they're going to 31 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: be really fast. This is their style, and then nothing 32 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: can quite prepare you for it until you see it. 33 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: And I said to them, they look fast from the sideline, 34 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: how fast are they? And their faces were in shock. Yes, 35 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: so are extra fast when they faced them? 36 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: Oh now, and how how are all the women feeling? 37 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: Or me? 38 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Do they still have what?
