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.
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!!!!!
BAC 1 – Bretforton 1 (17/10/15)
This week’s hockey preparations started early for Dave as she was so worried about being late that she turned up at 9am, a full 90 minutes before push back.
Our opponents today were Bretforton who had had an early start before they travelled down to Bristol in their minibus. As the game started, BAC were hoping to catch Bret half asleep after their early morning but both teams were switched on as the game began at pace. BAC won an early short corner but it was well defended by Bret and they broke quickly up to the other end of the pitch.
BAC 2 – Old Bristolians 4 (10/10/15)
Today BAC welcomed Old Bristolians. At least we could see each other this time; the last time met we were shrouded in fog! With everyone in position we were off and a quick start by OBs meant BAC were defending straight away and conceded a short corner. BAC defended successfully and were soon attacking themselves. A break from the back saw a long ball to Emma who took the defence on with some silky moves and found the back of the net – 1-0.
