**Spinal Tap Out v Los Coños **
28th Nov, Newington
A nice crisp day for a game of polo...
Game 1 (1-4)
T-Minus 15 minutes and Jo's off like a rocket to win the charge, some sweet passing from the girls out front enabled Ali to open the scoring for Los Coños at 2'40, followed by an equalizer from Aram at 4'30. Los Coños had the majority of possession and chances in the first 5 minutes, but failed to convert on many. However, a beautiful reverse-shot from Jo put the girls ahead again at 5'45.
A powerful on-target shot from Ed from back in his own D almost put the teams level again, but was saved by Sarah. Two more goals from Los Coños (Ali at 8'15 and Jo at 11'15) ensured them the first point of the day.
Game 2 (1-2)
Spinal Tap Out needed to change their play for the second game, and showed this with plenty of attacks. Again, lots of breaks for Los Coños, but frustratingly, Spinal Tap Out always having time to get back and defend. Both team played doggedly for over 2 thirds of the game, with good passing throughout and it wasn't until 9'15 when Jo got the first goal of the game. For the next five minutes there were lots of saves to make at either end and then, with just one minute to go, Prav got the equalizer for Spinal Tap Out. The game eventually went to Golden Goal with Jo scoring at 16'30.
Game 3 (0-5)
With the pressure off and more confidence gained, Los Coños knew they could take the fixture. With Sarah staying strong in goal, Jo and Ali racked up the goals… Jo at 2'45 and a hat-trick for Ali (9'20, 10'15 and 11'30), and with just 30 seconds to go, Jo made it 5-0 for the girls. Although the boys made some nice breaks they seemed to bunch together a bit too much and failed to capitalise on any space making opportunities, it was a shame they couldn't get any goals in this game.
These were very good games to watch, nice clean play with both teams looking like they enjoyed the fixture.
Not just pretty faces, these girls are full of awesome-ness and are a joy to watch!
