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!

BAC v Westberries Lost 2-4 05/06/13
So with our captain Lisa abandoning us for a jolly in France, Leanne doing her back in (the rumour has it she hurt her back bending over looking at her newly waxed toes), and Katie being on trial for being Welsh, we once again had to go to our cryogenic freezer store and defrost Ali Short for pitch duties.
