It was back in October 2020, when all was well in the world. Lockdown was a mere distant memory, and now hockey was being played every week. Ginny had never been up so early on a Saturday.

We were filled with hope and prospect of the hockey matches to come, and the promise of cake lingered in the air… little did we know…

Tess carefully counted out 11 yellow shirts for 14 players, after which Izzy carefully taped the numbers 7, 77 and 777 onto yellow bibs. But little did we know this would be the least of our worries this Halloween.

It was 1-0 at half time. Little did we know conceding early would be the least of our worries this Halloween.

Tuffers got a green card at some point however Little did we know, this still wouldn’t be our biggest woe of the day.

Tara strained her bum, and the push back was so early she opted to wear Laurie’s pyjama top but this wouldn’t be the worst thing to come of the day.

As the rain clouds swirled, and unbeknownst to us Twitter rumours raged, the wind picked up and blew another goal in for Sandy. Little did we know the weather would be the least of our worries this autumn.

In the last 20 seconds Tess scored after definitely not receiving it with her feet… "Still time for one more" they cried… Seconds later it was full time.

Little did we know this score would be the least of our worries…

Once the team returned to their normal lives, it was only then that they realised the worst thing to come of this Halloween – Lockdown 2.0.

Season 2020/2021 tbc…
