Expérience Magique à L'étranger

Another city, another game abroad! For our second game in France, we traveled to Toulouse where we had a city tour during the day, and a game at night. The atmosphere as we arrived to the field was just as exhilarating as the first game with people there to welcome us and bring us to our locker room. It is always fun when we get to play at night under the lights, so being able to do it in France made it that much more exciting. We walked out onto the field where we were greeted by 3 different local teams who we would be playing in a 8v8 tournament before our 11v11 games. 

Everyone from the local teams were just as gracious and welcoming as the first. In between games we would try and get to know each other through the few that knew english and exchanged stories and facts about the game we both loved. We ended up having two 8v8 teams and were able to both play two games before we continued our short careers abroad against Montauban, a League 2 team in the professional division. 

We were just as nervous to play another talented  team as we waited for the whistle to blow to start our game. From the very beginning it was a quick paced and challenging game. We were able to keep up with them throughout the game and ended up even getting a couple goals in the process! It was a great experience to play such a talented team and to be able to see how we faced up against a professional team. It was a great second game abroad and made us that much more excited for the next one!
