BAC v Yate 12/06/13 Won 8-0

Game due to start at 7pm, it’s 6:45pm, BAC, all 11 of us warmed up and ready? CHECK. One umpire? CHECK. Opposition?? GROUND HOG DAY!!
Seems that BAC are the only team in their summer league that can read instructions clearly, Yate were at a different school completely, 10 mins later with a screeching of breaks the car park fills up and in trundle a very sheepish Yate!
BAC2 vs Wick 12/06/13 Lost 7-2

It all started off so well, it was raining, the hardy ladies of BAC2 looked strong and took only a couple of minutes to put the ball in the back of the Wick goal. The young ladies of Wick looked a little surprised and still not happy that it was raining.
All the indicators were good and if the first few minutes were anything to go by, I thought there was a thrashing on offer. How right and wrong I was with this assessment.
