BAC 5 – 0 Gloucester2 (4/10/14)
Match report brought to you by Maz, the number 11 and the colour purple.
This weekend saw BAC take on Gloucester 2s. It felt like the hockey season had truly started – it was 10 degrees cooler than last week and pouring with rain! As the teams battled their way through the bring and buy sale it was decided to do the pre-match indoors so as not to get our shinny new kit wet.
BAC 3 – Lansdown 3 (27/09/14)
Match Report Written by – Becky ‘the bullet’ Lewis
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…..
WSM 1 – BAC 3
Our first pre-season friendly saw us on the M5 to Weston-Super-Mare, with new kits donned and our buckets and spades packed we were ready to go……….
……….well apart from the ones that got stuck in traffic.
