Lennox has a mask of pure calm, but he's quiet and reserved while inside the team change rooms. Legs crossed on his bench, eyes closed, he's blocking everything out. He can't help but hope that the two matches on the bench, plus the unfair ejection, won't make the Kestrels see him as an easier target or think that he's rusty.

Hell, he hopes that isn't true for himself.

Merc is aware that much of the league is watching them this match. It's the last regular season match before the Neep and the Magpies have pulled off two stunning victories...that were also prime examples of snatching victory out of the jaws (or nearly stomachs) of defeat. But they did so at the cost of big injuries and some crazy plays, none of the clean dominance they're known for. Today he wants the Magpies to show up the league and press that they haven't lost a step.

And coming up against a well ranked Irish team after St. Patrick's day (who have taken big hits last bloc too) with most of the force of the Magpies starting lineup...Merc thinks they have a good chance at making it happen today. At least outwardly he projects that, inside he's got more nerves than he's willing to show. But he's a firm believer that the coach sets the tone for the team, so just be calm, confident, and professional.

The short pep talk today is similar to his journal entry and really he has a simple directive: Go out and dominate them.

When Irish teams have to play after St. Patrick's day, the whole team groans. Even if it's a week later and even if they're the Kenmare Kestrels. Because the team take their holiday seriously, and it takes them most of that week to even get back into training condition.

Aidan likes to lead by example and at least recovered from the hangovers earlier than the rest, but he's aware that they lost 2 starters in that Falcons match and are using overeager reserves against the number one team in the league.

Still, he's excited today. Jason might not be on the pitch (he'd hoped he would be but...that broom race clearly meant it wasn't going to happen) but this was his team. And more importantly, it's the match this season he's been looking forward to because Campbell has had a 7 snitch streak this season and his only miss was for being ejected. That hardly counted. Lynch may not be a seeker with much of an ego but the prospect of facing the best seeker of the season so far brings out even his competitive side and today he's raring to go.

	Even though she's not playing, Kal is in the locker room before the match doing her normal stretches and generally soaking up the team atmosphere. There are smiles and hugs and encouraging words and anything else that might be needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Angus is in his usual pre-match pumped-up mood, loud and exuberant and obnoxious to everyone around him, cracking jokes and jumping around like normal. He's got a little extra spring in his step because he has a date later, y'all, so let's finish this early so they can make it dinner and drinks! He calms down to chill with Lennox like usual <3 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
