As BEs approached the far shores of the United Kingdom, much to Claire’s horror, team numbers and names were still fashionably fluid, adding to the nigh hysterical nature of Team BEs conspicuously chilled response to an approaching Armageddon. Sandie, yes Sandie, of that fame, gowned up with knee straps and a killer mental dialogue, to become BEs ‘hang high and score’ centre starlet. Folkestone, of second in the league fame, with many, many waves of fresh players, came out of the wings to perform at their well-rehearsed play called ‘Fitness, cohesion, subs, victory’. But they were unprepared for BEs titans of swing, architects of possession with their passion and lactic acid laced acts to stymie and score. Melody was remarkable, Claire too, even out of position. Sandie did hang high and just missed a goal, then was taken out by their 13 yr old goalie as she went to try and score again. Folkestone’s Tsunami subbing rate got the better of a constrained BEs in the second half, allowing them to take the standing ovation.
