Chapter 3 A proper goalkeeper
The two teams raced onto the pitch to a great roar from the crowd.Hilda strode towards the goal at the City fans' end.
Someone in the crowd yelled, 'That's not a proper goalkeeper. It's the tea lady!'
Slowly Hilda turned. 'Who said that?'she growled.
The crowd fell silent. 'I asked who spoke?'
She pointed into the crowd. 'It was you. Come here.'
Nervously, a man wearing a long City scarf came to the front of the crowd.
'Right, you squirt,'snarled Hilda. 'You sit here, by the goal, where I can keep an eye on you.As for the rest of you City fans, you may cheer your team, but no rude comments about me. Got it?'
'Yes, Hilda,'chanted the City fans.
The game began. Almost at once, City were on the attack.The centre forward broke through and rushed towards the goal.He was about to shoot when he saw Hilda running at him. 'Yaar!'screamed Hilda.
The player was so shocked that he kicked the ball over the bar and into the crowd. The City fans groaned.
'Ball, please,'snapped Hilda. Hilda booted the ball up the pitch.
By half-time neither team had scored.
'Well played, everybody,'smiled Ray.As he went round talking to the players, he noticed something odd.
Everyone was happily drinking their tea.
The second half dragged and nobody looked like scoring.
Hilda looked at her watch. It was nearly time.She turned to the fans behind her. 'What happens if it's a draw?'she asked.
'You have to play half an hour's extra time,'shouted someone.
