Dragons 2: Josh Cockburn (5), Pete Obee (3), Alex, Alison Eaves, Emily Tuttiett, Emily, Hannah Blackmore, James Frost, Josh, Liz Pearson, Steven Vaughan

Dragons 1: Remco Broekhuis (6), Jack McNamara (5), Amy Shillabeer (2), Dave Thomas (2), Lee O’Sullivan (2), Sian Hunt (2), Chrissy Rowlatt (1), Joey Niblett (1), Helen Gubby

The second 1sts vs 2nds match of the season saw a broadly similar result as the first one, with an extra 3 goals for the seonds the only difference. However, that does not tell the whole story. (more…)

8-7 Gareth Thomas (2), James Frost (2), Josh Cockburn (2), Magnus Dons (2), Hannah James, Helena Nelson, Natalie Gardner, Pete Obee, Rachel Knight, Sharon Quick, Sian Hunt

After the disappointment of the 1sts defeat, it was up to the seconds to raise spirits in a crucial game for them. Anything other than victory against the Chiefs would condemn them to the bottom pool, but a win would guarantee a place at the top table. (more…)

After their narrow defeat to the Cane Toads, this was a vital game for the seconds if they want to finish in the top 4 after the first phase of the season.

3-5 Gareth Thomas (2), Josh Cockburn (1), Chrissy Rowlatt, Emily Tuttiett, Hannah James, Helena Nelson, Magnus Dons, Pete Obee

A frustrating defeat for Dragons 2 who defended well, but were ultimately undone by a combination of missed chances - particularly from Josh who missed a handful of running-in shots - and being out-collected by a City team who dominated around the post.

8-13 Alison Eaves (2), Josh Cockburn (2), Julie Saunders (2), Hannah James (1), James Frost (1), Dave Schofield, Helena Nelson, Julia Harnett, Steve Vaughan. (10-0 forfeit)

With the BUSA Southerns looming, the Uni team decided to forfeit the match by choosing to play Jack McNamara (from Dragons) and Jack Newman (from the Cardiff City Chiefs) who are part of the BUSA squad but ineligible for league games. Safe in the knowledge of a 10-0 forfeit victory a friendly was played. Hannah James made her debut, playing the first half before being replaced by another debutante - Helena Nelson.
