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.
Westberries2 4 – BAC 1 (03/10/15)
Our first challenge of the day was a surprisingly busy Coombe Dingle car park, successfully overcome by some clever manoeuvring. 5 cars, 1 coach parking space later and we were all ready and raring to go.
We were delighted to see our dear friend Arry, only to be disappointed when she once again failed to admit her true allegiance and left us hanging to join the opposition. Our spirits were however lifted in the warm-up when our box was complimented on its tightness!
BAC 7 – Leominster 1 (26/09/15)
So the first league match of the 2015/2016 season was upon us and BAC welcomed Leominster to sunny Bristol.
We also welcomed Ceri to the game!!
BAC started well but Leominster managed to break through and force a short corner, the defence had it under control or so we thought but Dave managed to get an unlucky touch to the ball which wrong footed Becky and we found ourselves 1-0 down early on. So as BAC always do we rolled our sleeves up and got back in to the game we some great passing, Sledger and Bish we doing great in the middle and Sledger broke free and set up Tinny who shot and scored 1-1. this was more like it and we then thought we had got another but Emma had a goal disallowed. however we did then get another as Sledger picked up the ball and kept running, with the forwards taking the defence away it opened up and Sledger went into the D shot and scored 2-1.
