    BAC 1 – Japers 2 (08/11/14)

    Driving rain, rain and more rain were the weather conditions at Abbeywood this week as we took on Jaspers. A local derby, with plenty of history between the two sides so who knew what would be in store.

    With the team talk having taken place in doors, we braved the conditions and out we went to warm up. The conditions were awful, however both teams paid their respects to the fallen and a minute silence was held at the start of the match. (BAC proudly sporting their poppies for kits poppies)

    BAC started well with early pressure. A free hit was given just outside the Jaspers D. A quick square pass from Sledger to Bish, who then fired the ball in to Tinny who finished the move with the ball in the back of the goal. A great start for BAC, 1-0.

    After disappointment of last week we all turned up for another tricky game!

    Even ruby was excited to be here as she had her own tent and picnic which we were all tempted to get into and join her!!

    Before the proper warm up started though there was a talk from Captain Kingers and Vice Tinny, which was very good and got the team all together and positive about what we can achieve if we play for each other, there were also a couple of position changes to the team but no change in personnel although we were missing Emma who would join us ASAP from work.

    So, here we all are again, the start of another exciting season of hockey:-)

    As BAC players arrived at the pitch we were all greeted with feelings of familiarity and nostalgia, eager to get back in the swing of things after the summer break. The air was warm, the sky was bright, and the sun managed to be elusive until after the game, which we were all thankful for!

    As always at the start of a game, we ran through the games players, and it was soon very obvious we were missing some of the legendary, renowned, esteemed, acclaimed, illustrious, notorious, greats of BAC ladies hockey club, who decided it was better to climb some sort of ‘great wall’ in China, than be there to support their team mates at the start of the season. But, alas, the game must go on. So, with the remaining first team and some great support from the second team BAC united, old and new, 1st and 2nd, to ensure we had the best start to the new season.

    After warming up, and confirming positions, we soon began to realise that we had a very heavy attacking side as there were some major gaps in the defence. But, after running through some short drills, we were confident that we would be able to remain strong at the back, and if not, just try and score more than the other team!

    So, here we go then……….

    Frome 2 – BAC 3

    BAC made the trip to Frome for their second pre-season friendly, all looking dapper in our matching kits and all fired up and ready to win. The weather was slightly on the humid side (95% humid according to the met office) but that wasn’t going to deter BAC, nor was the slightly decrepit dugout, which we believe pre dates Hammy!!

     

    Warmed up and raring to go, the whistle blew and off we went…..
