BAC 0 – Blockley 8
Royal Wootton Bassett 6 – BAC 4
Written By: Sally ‘Londoner’ Curnow
Waking up in South Kensington was by far the strangest start to a hockey day! So after a taxi, a train and a drive Tinny and I arrived at Royal Wootton Bassett (RWB) – 10 mins before everyone else. #bragging. Anyway, the dreary grey day was not stopping BAC, who all turned up in good determined spirits! So after a warm up and a look on in envy as we watched them move their goals with ease, we were ready to start!
Hereford 1 – BAC 2
So today BAC take on top of the table Hereford. After a long car journey, the warm up was a nice opportunity to stretch our legs!
BAC started well from the whistle, stopping a Hereford break in the first couple of minutes, and pushing them back up the pitch. We charged into the opposition D, and the shot went ride. It was a good start nonetheless. The play for the next 10 mins or so, was pretty evenly spread, with both side getting the ball, and pressing forward. Hereford were looking the better team as BAC were finding it difficult to control the ball on the unfamiliar pitch. Hereford were breaking up the pitch, and having had a few shots, and a few saves by the BAC keeper, they were not giving in. They intercepted the ball on the halfway line, charged forward into the BAC D, and had a shot across the BAC keeper and scoring in the right hand corner.
