Elodie showed us her plan for the team today in the form of a scribble on Captain Coolio’s team sheet. Which was pretty accurate for dodging the bird poo!! 

We kicked off well fighting for the ball and pretty soon were up two goals. Havant seemed to think hockey is played with elbows rather than sticks especially no. 5. Then all of a sudden distract stuck and Havant broke loose with one player on her own stridding up the pitch the ball goes straight through Tina’s legs (sorry Chris no clean sheets tonight). A lot of dodgy umpiring decisions not from Dave of course sees another goal from Havant being conceeded. The first half is over.
Its all to play for in the second half, the ‘Siders have more supporters turn up cheering us on from the side line. But noooo elbows, elbows and more elbows, Havant do like their elbows! was it an elbow that scores their third goal?? We up our game Nash dashes up the left of the pitch keen to join the forwards. A scramle in the D with Daisy, Katie and Becca firing shots at goal. Players on the floor then in it goes who scores, who knows, who cares its three all and Havant are moaning to Dave. We’re back in the game. Its nail biting stuff watching from the side line with the clock ticking away Cherry taking a knocking to her knee in the D, Havant having a few short corners with our defence strong Emma takes the ball moving forward up pitch we gain a short corner is Chez gonna score bang on the back board and Becca gets own fourth. With minutes remaining Havant keep on elbowing but its not enough final whistle blows and victory is owns.

The tea room is packed and POM is up for grabs with pretty much everyone getting a vote Gaynor takes the trophy. To round up all I can say is move over dirty sausages hello “moist” (Becca’s word) chocolate cake yum yum thanks Gaynor is that how you get POM votes? It was concluded that Becca got three goals and Katie one.

Well done girls great performance
