BAC 2 – Blockley 2 (07/11/15)
This week saw the visit of Blockley who braved the torrential rain on their trip down to Abbeywood. We also had the unexpected pleasure of Dave in the team. We were pleased to see her, although I’m sure she would’ve preferred the sun lounger she was supposed to have been on! The rain had brought out the snails which Sally duly saved from being crushed on the pitch. A minute’ s silence was observed before the start of the match – the weather easing up on us and not subjecting us to the downpour of last year.
Clifton4 8 – BAC2 2 (07/11/15)
A late game in the day, thankfully the sun came out for us!
The available team of twelve brought with them ailments of all possible varieties, this did not hold us back, and thankfully those with ailments were able to keep it all in!!
Investec Trophy Game – BAC 1 – Mid Somerset 2
The England Hockey Investec Trophy Match – dreams of playing at Queen Elisabeth Park were shattered as BAC lost to Mid Somerset in a battle of a match. The extra hour in bed, clearly didn’t give us what we needed to win, neither did the extra 15 min’s delay due to the no show from the APPOINTED umpire…..but it’s ok, we woke up Alex and got him to come along instead. With us today for this event were the not so invisible Ali Bethall and the super human, bruised from the day before Sophie Newton Bomb.
Gloucester2 3 – BAC 1
This week BAC ladies had a late game this away to Gloucester. We welcomed our latest recruit Ellie – Becky Boo was making her feel welcome as only our Becs can! We had a good team talk in the changing room although we were missing a team member Emz (where was she Big Brother?) – we found her outside and did a quick warm up due to us being unable to get on the pitch.
We were fired up and ready for battle. BAC started well with some good quick passing and movement. Our defenders were holding strong when Gloucester City attacked, there was no way Woolly, Dave or Jodie were letting them get threw. Our opposition were making lots of noises using the Naughty F*** word (which I now thought was a reason for getting a card) – they were certainly not doing the famous No-Emotion Dave!!!!!
