Stunning end to the season.

What weather for our last match- shame we had to play instead of tanning on North Berwick Beach (although there was plenty on the sidelines!) That didn’t stop everyone turning up in their sunnies, apart from Jodie who discovered after the match she’d been sitting on them in the car for the entire journey there. With the league in the bag, a promise of fish and chips after and a solid 6 supporters, the team were feeling optimistic and quite right too! Who could complain at a 7-3 win on a sunny Saturday afternoon?! With amazing goals from Holly (x3), Suze (x2), Aoife and Liv, we dominated the field for most of the match until the heat kicked in. Midfield kept the team together from the middle, with Suze demonstrating her silky dribbling skills and Holly expertly pressing up the pitch. Defence played an absolute blinder as usual, and we could always count on Lynsey and Ellie to get the ball safely out the D. With 7 minutes to go and wanting a final shot at glory, Tammy confidently strode up to attack and got some incredibly close shots… However without our usual pillar of defence at the back we quickly conceded 2 goals (not saying it’s your fault Tammy buttt…) All in all an absolutely cracking last match from everyone! What a great way to finish the season and take fab memories away with Becca and me to Glasgow and St. Andrews. I for one will miss seeing you all every week and can’t thank you enough for the past 2 years of hockey and banter. I’ve certainly learned a lot from you all but mostly just insults and swear words (thanks Holly xx) Good luck to Julia for stepping into the big boots of Becca as our new captain (we all know you’ll be amazing!) and in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger… I’ll be back!

Special mentions go to:

• Holly moaning about her hangover
• The half time snack being Haribo strawberries and NOT our classic supermix
• Liz breaking the land speed record up and down the wings
• Tammy STILL wearing under armour even though it was 20 degrees
• Liv not failing to get injured in a match
• Katie discarding her helmet and sprinting to the opposition D to get involved at the penalty corner
• Jodie expertly demonstrating her attacking and defending skills
• Lynsey getting concerned about her delicate Scottish skin
• Becca nearly patching our final team pic for “important” captain paperwork
• Katie successfully saving a goal with her skimpily padded hip
• Fralan ft. Georgia and Poppy making another valuable appearance as top supporters of the season

MoM: Joint Tammy and Liz
DoD: Holly 'hangover hat-trick' Wilson - that pre-game fry up never fails.
