Lydney III 2 – Cheltenham Civil Service 1
Saturday 21st January
It turns out that the radio was playing a good omen on the way to the game for the Ladies 3s on Saturday. The 3s started the first game of the new year upbeat, looking for their first win of the season. With nothing to lose, they pressed early and put some nice moves together with Sophie Watkins and Di Wunda-Webb linking up beautifully to put Lydney into the lead. Service were quick off the mark to return and were able to equalise before half time.
During the second half Lydney tightened up their marking and were untroubled defensively for the most part and able to push on for a winner. Eventually, Captain Bev Halford put her team in front from a sweetly struck free hit at the top of the D. Di Wunda-Webb and K Macaskill shared Man of the Match honours this week.
Lydney : A Durham, B Worth, K Haile, C Hutchinson, C Hudsonmason, D Wunda-Webb, Br Halford, S Watkins, Be Halford ( Capt ) A Kyte-Vaughn, E Richards, K Macaskill.
Gracious in defeat, the Civil Service Ladies were keen to let us know that the teas provided by the Cross this week were the best they had ever had. The vegetarian cottage pie was the stuff of legend.
This week I am offering a selection of chocolate to the first person who sings the first line to the tune of this blog post to me between now and Saturday. It can be in person or on the phone, I just want to know if anyone reads this nonsense.
And while I’m on the subject, would you PLEASE start commenting or rating or ANYTHING … please…. ( first rating also gets chocolate )
