Polonium 210 vs. Los Coños

From dt:
Sunday 6th December, Newington

Game 1: 0-5
After draining the court from rainfall cone-by-cone and waiting for hung-over Louis to arrive, they’re ready to start. Jo gets to the centre spot first, but leaves the ball for Tom, who then leaves the ball for Ali. Ali takes the ball and gets the first goal of the game at 13 seconds!

Jo and Ali take it in turns scoring each minute – Jo at 1’17”, Ali at 2’57” and Jo again at 3’43”. Polonium get a couple of great breaks and test Sarah at the other end of the court. Tom comes very close to scoring, forcing Sarah to come out and challenge for the ball.

Louis seems to be playing slightly gentler today, not his usual bull-charging style! Well, this is until he leans a little to hard on Ali, forcing them both down hard. All players wait for Ali to straighten her bars, re-align her brake and get back on her bike before carrying on with the game. Ali then takes the final goal of the game at 6’12” making it 0-5.

Game 2: 0-5
The second game sees the ball being missed off the charge by both players, again! This time, Jo picks it up to take it to the Polonium goal and make it 0-1 at 15 seconds. Jo and Ali then take it in turn to score again and finish the game 0-5 in the same time as the first game – 6’12”. Infact the scoring patterns from both games are almost identical!

Game 3: 0-5
Los Coños could have beaten the 2’29” record with Jo getting a hatrick in under one and a half minutes. The first goal came just a few seconds after winning the charge and 2 more goals came at 0’55” and 1’21”. However, already 13-0 up in the fixture, decided to change their game and Sarah came out of goal. Polonium stayed strong in defense and Sarah found it very hard to make a space in Polonium’s half. The fourth goal didn’t come until the 10th minute, from Ali (after her rest in goal!!). Jo finished up the fixture at 12.41.

The girls played really well and deserved their first 15-0 victory.
