My Special Day by Joe Elliott
Sundays are pretty much the same; get up, do my paper run, have breakfast then get ready for football.
This Sunday is hopefully the end of my bet with my brother, it was first to score five goals wins, I was on four goals and he was on one. It was quite warm and sunny that Sunday afternoon. We were playing against Morton Thistle FC; they weren't the best team in the league but they still put up a good fight
I was playing up-front but I am usually a defender. I am quite good up-front. Declan and I were playing up-front. I could smell the mud and see the green grass as I walked onto the pitch after the warm up. I liked that I was playing up-front because I like scoring goals. I only needed to score one goal to win the bet.
We came in after half time it was 2-2 and I had not scored a goal. Declan and Stefan scored the goals. We went on after the team talk and about five minutes into the second half I banged it in the net with a perfect volley. I was thrilled to score a goal. Then two minutes later I scored another volley. I was ecstatic to score two goals. Then about fifteen minutes to go Andrew White set me up for my hat-rick. I was thrilled to get a hat-rick and I thanked Andrew for setting me up to get it. And that is why that is my special day.
