Do you get less sensible the further up the pitch you play?

Izzy MacDonald-Parry

Rating of sensible out of 10, not a score of their play on Saturday. That would be 10/10 for all. 

 

Defence

Loopy – in her 21st season for the L1s. That means 21 years of putting herself in the firing line. Pulled off an unbelievable save in the last 30 seconds of the game to keep a clean sheet. Nothing but pride on the line. 8/10.

Jenny - Queen of sensible. Won’t be letting a forward past her. Took her two seasons to get her first lemon. 11/10.

Anna - solid passing, tackles for days, but once lost her two front teeth doing the worm. 8/10.

Maegan (rhymes with Pagan) - has been slightly hungover for the last two Saturdays. Picked up a yellow for a not sensible* long barrier last week. 7/10.

Katie C – Moved her hockey to Cambridge so she could play for the L1s. Previously thought of me as her twin. Describes herself as Charlie from Clarkson’s farm. 9/10.

Tildy - training to be a nurse. Fell off a bench at Oktoberfest. A goal and MoM for Tildy. 6/10.

Kate - drafted in for last minute sickness cover. Unfortunately for Kate I lived with her for 2 years which counts against her. 5/10.

KP - put paper in the freezer on Friday eve. Known sufferer of red mist. New social media manager and it’s looking more professional than ever. 4/10.

Tess - moved her whole life to Cambridge from New Zealand just so she could play for the L1s. 35/10.

Lucy – Another solid addition to the back line, does not allow forwards past her. Works in science like half of the club. 9/10.

Average = 10.2/10

 

Midfield

Izzy S - 2 goals for Iz. When in possession of the Izzy braincell**, 7/10. When not in possession, 5/10.

Sophie – Will pick the ball off you every time if you run at her. In writing this report I learned she has never had a lemon. 9/10.

Alice - known to put her hands in the air in celebration when given constructive criticism from teammates. Lovely post deflection from Al. Have known her far too long to score anything higher - 4/10. 

Kerryn – we’re still not sure how she keeps running for so long. Generally ridiculous effort on Saturdays. Did lose her belongings in the changing rooms though. 7/10.

Amelia - came across from City, clearly makes good choices. Mid way through a PhD. 8/10.

Average = 6.6/10

 

Forward

Liv - drives a car with questionable safety. 2 goals for Liv. Always brings the chaos. 4/10.

Izzy P - sensible beyond her years. Endless effort, earned her MoM votes. 8/10.

Emily - called up to the big leagues*** at the ripe old age of 14. Took a ball to the body, a minute to compose herself and straight back on. 8/10.

IMP – Lemon. 3/10.  

Average = 5.75/10

 

Coach

Tim - on his third year coaching us. Clearly not a sensible man, surprised we haven’t sent him to hospital yet for stress. 2/10.

 

*A point of contention.

**1 braincell between 3 Izzy’s sometimes. Izzy P seems to have her own a lot of the time, I seem to never have it.

**Big leagues are East Division 1N. Arguably no bigger league, that’s why we’ve been in it for the past 5 seasons.
