Bristol University2 6 – BAC 3
This week saw us have a local away fixture against Bristol Uni at Coombe Dingle on a cold, wet, windy, soggy Saturday (I bet Dave wished she was there!) and we welcomed Lisa Browne to the first team. We had our team talk in the changing rooms before embracing the weather and fortunately we all had our new Club bobble hats to keep us warm. Although Sally probably wished she waited until we got outside to put hers on as she got a little too warm sat by the blazing radiator in the changing rooms!
BAC 2 – Blockley 2 (07/11/15)
This week saw the visit of Blockley who braved the torrential rain on their trip down to Abbeywood. We also had the unexpected pleasure of Dave in the team. We were pleased to see her, although I’m sure she would’ve preferred the sun lounger she was supposed to have been on! The rain had brought out the snails which Sally duly saved from being crushed on the pitch. A minute’ s silence was observed before the start of the match – the weather easing up on us and not subjecting us to the downpour of last year.
Clifton4 8 – BAC2 2 (07/11/15)
A late game in the day, thankfully the sun came out for us!
The available team of twelve brought with them ailments of all possible varieties, this did not hold us back, and thankfully those with ailments were able to keep it all in!!
Investec Trophy Game – BAC 1 – Mid Somerset 2
The England Hockey Investec Trophy Match – dreams of playing at Queen Elisabeth Park were shattered as BAC lost to Mid Somerset in a battle of a match. The extra hour in bed, clearly didn’t give us what we needed to win, neither did the extra 15 min’s delay due to the no show from the APPOINTED umpire…..but it’s ok, we woke up Alex and got him to come along instead. With us today for this event were the not so invisible Ali Bethall and the super human, bruised from the day before Sophie Newton Bomb.
