Match Report ~ BAC2 3 v Westberries3 1
The players gathered, warmed up, had a chat, talked tactics and ran onto the pitch….I assume, as I wasn’t there. Having turned up 5 minutes after the start of the match the BAC2 ladies looked on good form and were dominating the match.
2 Sticks Sophie was pacing the sidelines and looked focused, really focused. Something was on 2 Sticks mind, this match was more than just another league game, there was a greater significance to this meeting.
Match Report ~ Redland UWE3 3 vs BAC2 4
First match of the new year and BAC2 were away to Redland UWE. Most of the team were moaning of Christmas excess but we were only sporting 1.5 hangovers, (the 0.5 comes from there being much debate as to whether one of our players was still drunk and therefore not hungover).
Match Report ~ Old Bristolians 5 vs BAC2 2
This match was the rescheduled game previously cancelled due to a frozen pitch. The players gathered in Failand for a mid afternoon start and it was already starting to get dark.
Pre-match preparation involved circling the area repeatedly looking for a parking spot, dressing up in winter hiking gear to make the long journey cross country to get to the pitch and finally organising search parties and sending out scouts to look for our umpire.
Match Report ~ BAC2 2 vs Thornbury2 3
So BAC2 were home at Abbeywood ready to fend off Thornbury2. No one could remember the score the last time the 2 teams met and it seemed to get worse the more people you asked, from a 4-1 defeat to 6-0, then up to 7-0 and 7-1. It was actually 4 – 0 on 13th October, but our exaggerated memories served to concentrate the minds of the players and make them determined to take their revenge, even whilst nursing 3 hangovers.
So with the warm-ups and briefings complete, the whole team of 13 knew what was expected of them and where they had to be, that was until the umpire was ready to start the match. The thorough umpires conducted a quick headcount and advised that BAC2 were only fielding 10 players. A moment later and Lou was match ready and running on to assist the team in a fast opening to the game.
