Ladies 3s v Bret 2s (written by Eleanor)
Last pre season game and we arrived to play as seriously as we mean to play the season – me 15 mins late but with my stick ! An improvement on last week ! After a thorough warm up from Rab, we had a tricky start as we were getting used to playing together with some welcome new faces. Holly got us off to a great start with a lovely goal at the end of lovely team play. Bret equalised on a short with Katie trying her best despite it being her first time in goal and Lucy standing directly in front of her. 1-1 at half time.
We started the second half well and I scored hehe. This prompted Katie to sprint out of goal, unkit and come back on at centre mid. Mad moves at 2-1. It became clear that no one had told the other team it was a friendly game as the atmos was anything but. Jen was fighting one umpire left and right: obstruction, disallowed her goal (she attacked the keeper), backing in, elbowing people and trying to say she knew the rules better than him. They had a lovely date at teas to discuss. One of the Bret girls got a green card for a less than friendly tackle and i channelled my irritation into hitting someone rather hard. In my defence, she was stood in the goal. Emma took the flick and converted beautifully. 3-1 ! Bret had a short while we had no keeper and the defence worked a miracle and managed to clear the ball. Holly had another great run and gifted me an open goal. Final score 4-1
MOM – Ellie – first gamer with us and wowed with speedy runs down the line and running rings round the opps.
DOD – Caitlyn – the funniest comedy fall where she looked like she snapped her knee and then threw her stick at opp fans (supposedly by accident) didn’t hit anyone. Hilarious.
Snakey sal 🐍 voted for me so I was nominated (forced) to write the report.
