Blackheath & Elthamians Ladies 4th X1 V Gillingham
Like the Dodo said to nobody, “I didn’t see that coming”!
From feast to famine. From hero to villain. From sublime to ridiculous. All idioms that could be applied today as BE’s lost 3-0 to an eminently beatable side. Team disappointment was palpable but there was, atypically, nothing in BE’s arsenal (sorry Sandra-your footy team!) to change the outcome.
Wally of the Match-Kate for missing a sitter, but who didn’t. Man of the Match-Daphne for an amazing steal of a ball, supporting the forwards and backs and being professional despite rough opposition. Remedy of the Day-Meditating to Ravel’s Bolero on the journey home, dark chocolate truffles, red wine and a vow to win the next two matches.
Final score a resounding loss, 3-0.
