It’s the pits for the lady miners

7 Mar 1997 — 1 min read

We played Charring Cross earlier this term. We didn’t like them then. We really don’t like them now.

Their act of generosity in donating a player to strengthen our side to an impressive count of nine participants, was soon forgotten as the umpiring became blatantly biased. The umpire was instructed by one of their players and some extremely weird rules were introduced. It was only fifteen minutes into the match when Sarah intervened, and left the pitch to the umpire.

In the second half, our guest Charring Cross player took over the umpiring and Sarah returned. Thanks go to Maria (our supporter) for helping us out by playing hockey for the very first time in the second half.

The extra space on the pitch eliminated confusion and co-ordination developed in our game, chiefly between Alex, Roz and Selina.

Estella and Maria cleared the ball quickly and effectively following more cunning saves from Emma.

Sarah worked easily up the pitch, facing only inaccurate and pathetic opposition. This resulted in several beautiful shots across goal by Roz which had great potential for scoring. Unfortunately the goals didn’t quite happen - there were just too many of them.

It’s tough to win with a full team and one referee opposing.

RSMWHC 0 - 3 Charring Cross

Hull of a bad time for rugby lads

After a marathon five hour journey we reached Hull, which put the team off, except maybe Alasdair who found the Humber Bridge "exciting." After 45 minutes of traipsing through the most dismal town in the North, we eventually found the pitch thanks to Tom’s unerring direction sense.
