Bristol Uni Away, 2nds
8-6 Amy Shillabeer (2), Caroline Lowdon (2), Gareth Thomas (1), Joey Niblett (1), Josh Cockburn (1), Magnus Dons (1), Gwenno Jones, Julie Saunders.
A top of the table clash against the only team to have beaten the Dragons all season promised a very tight game, and it was always competetive. However, Dragons fielded a much more experienced side than last time, while Uni were missing several of the more dangerous players from the first game.
It was a game that Dragons gained control of early with Josh and Gareth scoring running-in shots - indeed every single goal that Dragons scored was a runner, as the team had a collective nightmare with the rest of their shooting, which allowed Bristol to remain in contention despite being second best in terms of creating chances. Amy and Caroline led the scoring, both managing 2 goals, while Magnus’s goal from Joey’s pass over the head of a front collect was probably the best goal of the match.
The result leaves Dragons in the position of having to win against Cardiff City on Monday in order to clinch the title. The current league table is below.
Thanks to Jay for reffing, and to all the drivers
