The fixtures that were redrawn after last weekend was rained off were severely hit and miss. Unfortunately both our Women's and our Franklin Law Men's First team's oppositions defaulted, while this gave them both a win on paper, it left the players frustrated with no game to play.
This was easily solved by some, while others took different routes to finding a match to play. Women's First team captain and leading goal scorer Petra Batters and Ashley Cowley found their way into the Men's Reserves team, with Ashley being given a last minute call up to the starting line up. Both of our gals proved they were no pushover, took up their duties with no complaints, and absolutely looked the part. Neither player looked out of place on the pitch and would be welcomed back into the team by the boys should they want to play again. The result didn't go the right way for the Reserves, but both Ashley and Petra jointly earned a rightly deserved player of the day shout.
Our Women continued to do us proud on Sunday, with a 2-0 victory leading into the end of the season. Odd Sox won their match, keeping them in the title race. OMY earned a draw, meaning they earned promotion this year. Devastatingly, Barbarians had their default victory taken off them, and lost the replay.
Our 17th grade teams enjoyed some friendlies as one last chance to celebrate their teams and finish their season.
As ever, we would like to give a huge thanks to our major partners:
