Rain, Rain, Rain and a 4-0 Win

Laura Ludlow

In a match which raised lots of questions, South L1s had all the answers:

  • Is drinking from 6pm-3am the night before a match a good idea? Answer: (a) Yes, I scored an awesome goal (b) No, apparently body barging is not allowed and gets you a green card, or (c) All of the above?

  • What formation are we going to play? 3-2-3-2? Not 2-3-2-3? No, 3-2-3-2. Which way round is the pitch again?

  • Can we play with a Dutch Sweeper and a Dutch Centre Back? We only need our amazing Dutch centre back – that ball was definitely going in when she saved it!

  • Is it ever going to stop raining?

  • Is Kim in the youngest half of the team? Depends what you mean by “half”.

  • Did the ball cross the line? Absolutely! Excellent goal by Kim: 1-0 South. Will Kim be Goal Queen at the end of the season…?

  • Did Oundle manage to breach South's mighty defence? Well, maybe once, but the goal was disallowed.

  • How many times can South stick tackle in one match? TOO many!!

  • Is deliberately stopping the ball going into the D with your foot allowed? Um, no...

  • Why is Lou on the floor again? Because she can only hit a reverse shot lying down.

  • Why is Kim crying again? A nasty knock from a wayward face mask (NB. Meant to protect the face, not injure it) so for good reason, but not enough to avoid the Lemonsy.

  • What was the final score? 4-0 to South, an excellent performance, soaking up the pressure and attacking quickly on the break.

  • Who was the MOM? After a great team performance, there were votes for Blythe, Elaine and Ellie but honours were split between Fairlie (rumours that she voted for herself were quickly quashed!) and Amalia – storming runs up the wing and strong in midfield.

  • How did Howling get a Lemon vote when she wasn't even there?!

  • How did Flix miss out on being Lemon when she got a card?!

  • How's the season shaping up? Very nicely, thank you! Watch out Div 3NW, we're going to take the league by storm!

Storming performance on the right (when we managed to get the ball out to her).

Great interceptions (definitely not a default).

Waterworks (maybe a little harsh).
