Hockey babes triumph in final

With afternoon sun showering the pitch in gentle spring warmth, the IC ladies beat Charing Cross in the UL plate final. We started the game well with Two Hands and Lt Warf combining well to inspire fear in the ranks of Charing’s defence.

They mounted several blitzkrieg attacks down the wings. The IC line held firm due to good keeping from Kiss Miss and solid defensive play from Humming Bird.

The game now flowed freely, with the IC team proving that they’re a well oiled machine. Nude Girl found herself in front of goal thanks to the efforts of Two Hands and Barbie. Nude Girl finally passed through this ordeal to stroke the ball into the net.

They came back hard and were soon driving into the IC "D" from all over the place. The defence of Sarah C, Groin Sprain and Fash the Bash held out and repulsed numerous attacks until half-time.

The second half started with IC just holding out but it was only a matter of time before they finally broke through and put the ball in the net. This was a blow, but ICWHC are not a soft touch, especially in big matches like these.

Inspired by a fighting spirit, Humming Bird became Fuming Bird as she ran round the pitch doing absolutely everything. Their goal was under siege - the goal had to come and it duly did. At this stage they were exhausted and we dominated to run out winners.

ICWHC 2 - 1 Charing Cros
