We should do a write up of each game! Ie:
It was drizzly but not too bad when we started. Despite having to fix up the court and play in the rain it felt pretty relaxed and enjoyable a with both teams acknowledging that basically this was a six pointer (sorry for the footballing parlance)...
I always get a massive rush of adrenaline at the start of the first game, usually this causes me to pass widely and get badly out of position, but this time it resulted in an alright first goal!
House party had already started playing fairly high and after the first goal they carried on playing fairly attacking polo (ie no one in goal! ;) whilst we basically just attacked on the break and took a lot of fairly speculative shots.
At one point Dan hit it towards the d whilst Jackie had fallen over and the ball was swept into the goal by her back wheel as she picked herself up, an unfortunate bit of bad luck after she'd been pretty solid in goal for us up to that point.
From the reset Ben took the ball forward while I went down the right wing, he passed a perfectly weighted ball down the middle past the two defenders and I turned in to hit it from the top of the D. 2-1
Dan responded with a proper ripper, pretty far out, but fast, hard and basically undefendable.
Unfortunately for HP, not long after I got my hattrick. Final score of first game:
SS 3 : HP 2
Louis 3, Jackie ( OG), Dan 1
