A Saturday fixutre, an unusual thing!

The ice may have been poor,

but the fans still did sing.

The ice was rutty and the knees did hurt.

Chances came a plenty,

but Vipers couldn't convert.

Blackburn, however, was to be no easy game

And at the end of the first

They scored 1 and our attack they had tamed!

If the Man of Match had been picked at this time.

Some outstanding play by Jade,

Would have earned her this prize.

A defensive slip-up at the start of the second

Meant the Vipers were 2 zip down

And were looking to the heavens.

But the heads did not drop and spirit was showed,

Anna thought she had pulled 1 back,

Only it was disallowed!

Yet heads were still high, the play was controlled

And Lucy (playing upfront for the day)

Scored the first of her goals!

The pressure was mounting on their defence

Suddenly a 2-2 hockey game

As vipers finally took their chance.

And then came our Lucy, almost inspired.

She got behind their defensive,

And her hat-trick was fired.

Bringing the number 5 to Vipers tally

The coach was agasp

With they way they had rallied.

The only other scoring came off poor Ali's head

A 3-5 score line,

and 2 points can be read.

Not a pretty game, but a win with a fight.

Happy New Year to you all,

And to all a good night!
