BIG MATCH DEBUT

(Stuart Dolan’s poem)

This is my moment

What I’ve been working for

The hours of training

Big match debut

Lining up with the big boys

Lining up against the big boys

Me – on the same pitch

Big match debut

Hoping that everything goes right

Hoping that nothing goes wrong

Hoping that I’m not embarrassed

Big match debut

Not letting the manager down

Not letting my teammates down

Not letting the fans down

Big match debut

Just one slice of luck

Just one bounce of the ball

And I could be hero or villain

On my big match debut
