Thanks Ed, Prav and Arram. Oh and Robb for reffing! Great fun clean games, conditions were almost perfect down at Newington except for a bit of wind.

Well done Hops for saving some amazing goals in the 2nd game.

yep that's correct Ali, write-up and goal times/scorers to follow.

Good clean games today, shame we couldn't get a win but I had I whole load of fun. Cheers for the reffing Robb

HOPS and Polonium i found out today at work that i'm on a course tomorrow till 7pm. Which means i'll back in London for 8ish and can only really get to Newington for 9pm. Is this too late??
Sorry guys but it can't be helped. If it's no good then Ali and I are free Saturday from 3pm or Sunday at 11am?

Hey team sparkle motion...cosmic have games down south this Wednesday and Thursday. We'd like to play you too on either evening so we can get all current due fixtures done before tom leaves on sat for the Dam.

Lets us know. Tar.

9 is a bit late for me this week, but ill happily see what the consensus is from the others.

thanks tom

& I am free saturday at 3pm or sunday at 11 too :)

Sat/sun ok by me

Sat or sun fine by me. Anyone have a preferance?

I'd prefer Saturday because the match would be pre-work on Sunday, and I don't like going in too sweaty. 3pm ok?

ok by me, just have to wait for Tom...

as far as i know, beards vs. apples is off tonight. correct?

According to Bill, that is correct.

Ahh, Bill and Rik.. Meeting.. Meh.

I am away till the 17th Dec now... I'll drop a PM out to come to some arrangement with Wayne and J

Los Polonium, Cogs might join you on the weekend, as we are to play both of you. Should make an interesting, if banal, hate triangle.

**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!
