Bridgetown and Final Match

Today we took a trip to the capital of Barbados, were we shopped and took in the cultural experience. It was very hot, but we persisted in buying as many blue and yellow souveniors. Sales of beaded bracelets and rastafarian hats have never been so high!!

Final Match

We played at 6.30PM for a change today, under the floodlights, and we had all got our hopes up that playing conditions would be easier, how very wrong we were! Humidity overcame us, thankfully the squad rotation worked a treat. With an end to end first half, we saw goals from both teams, Pauline putting it in the back of the net for Lancaster once again - becoming a habit! However the Bajan team equalised with a cracking short corner routine.
The second half proved more of a challenge, with the defence under constant pressure due to match officials. However, working hard as a unit they moved the ball out of tricky situations well. After goals from Emily C and Dani R, the final score was 3-3, a well fought result that the team should be proud of.

Goals : Pauline 1, Emily 1, Dani 1
Man of the Match: Kirsty
