Roll up roll up for a true spectacle, nay miracle, that is a ladies 1 match report that doesn’t end “sadly the score didn’t go our way but we played well” - they played well in bits …BUT NOT TODAY …WE TRIUMPHED WITH A MIGHTY 1-0 VICTORY.
The ladies 1 squad is small on a good day and today was a shockingly bad one so we had a bare 11 including one sporadic uni student (thanks Evie) and a Heidi stolen from the 2s. Who needs subs anyway when you have ibuprofen and a dream?
Play commenced as it often does in hockey with people passing and tackling and the like. As a centre back I like to stand at the back watching but not really paying attention, so I couldn’t tell you more than that but I seem to recall it being pretty good our end. A short corner was won and our resident assassin Alex stepped to the top of the D to casually slot a strike bottom left and we were on the scoreboard.
I fear I have given the goat away already by mentioning the score so I will keep the rest brief - the Pitts had a stormer with Heidi earning POM and Vicky being so pleased with her efforts she sat down for a while, kyveli kept us steady with MOSTLY non exasperated comments from goal, flick and Wanni sped around the mid in a way I’m grateful to not have to do, and Alice decided to act as target practice for the oppo from the get go and we thank her for drawing fire away from the rest of us.
2nd win of the season and maybe we won’t be relegated but stay tuned to find out. As for my DOD I couldn’t tell you why I got it as I can’t spell diahhorea
