🏐✨ Magic Runcorn Merlin’s 🪄🧙♀️ vs Vale Royal – W 31–15! ✨🏐
The Merlin’s rocked up with a shiny new match ball and ready to work their magic… although at 10pm, the only magic we were hoping for initially was getting into bed! 😴🛌
A slightly sleepy start saw us trailing 5–2 in the first quarter, but fear not, ladies… the Merlin’s were just warming up! 🔥💃
Emma D and Claire E soon found their shooting mojo 🎯, slotting them in with seamless precision despite some seriously tall and close defenders! 🏀🙌
Meanwhile, Amanda and Claire N were absolute terrors in defence, getting tips left, right and centre to turn the tide firmly in our favour! 🛡️💥
Julie ran tirelessly up and down supporting the flow of play up the court 🚀, while Emma W and Rosie delivered feeds with the finesse and precision of Michelin-starred waitresses 🍽️👌, serving up absolute perfection to our solid shooters!
Vale Royal tried their best to keep up, even bringing along an elegant, leggy new GA… but ladies, they simply couldn’t catch us! 🏃♀️💨 Not even close! By the final whistle, it was a convincing 31–15 victory for your Runcorn Merlins! 🏆💜
And because a normal team photo just wouldn’t cut it, we finished the evening with a gymnastics-inspired group pose 🤸♀️📸 — athleticism, elegance and questionable flexibility all in one! Plenty more of this to come 🌟
