Sheffield 22nd December This was to be the third of the meetings between these teams this
season. Sheffield had strengthened their sqaud for this meeting, with the addition
of one of their U18 players from their first team. I have to confess I am writing this report, post Christmas and New Year -
so my memory has somewhat faded of exactly what happened, and how we won. However,
as the score shows, win we did! So, here is a summary (very briefly of what happened)!
Some great play by all members of the Wilko/Frenchy/Cookie/Maybe line.
Specifically, a good 3 point haul for Wilko saw her earning the Man of the Match
award. Sheffield, had some good shots, but good goaltending by Allison Clark (correct
spelling of her name) especially at the end of the game, meant we hung on
to our lead. Anna got her first penalty minutes of the season - thanks
to a slightly dubious refereeing decision (payback perhaps for embarrassing the poor chap!!!!).
The presents by Julia at the end of the game were much appreciated and
added that extra special ending to the day that saw Nottingham
beat Sheffield, again!
