DK 10s

Sunday arrived and we were a little short on numbers. Some frantic phone calls and we managed to find eight players! We just needed to borrow some was all. Big thanks initially to Smithy of Five Ways who played with us all afternoon.

First match was against Stourbridge. With the first received ball Tolley took a run up the wing, offloaded to Olivia who passed to Bonnie who scored. A good start. An unfortunate clash of heads between Ems and Hair resulted in a swollen black eye for Emma and that was the end of her day. We played the remainder of the match with 9 players and won 14-5.

Second pool match was against Dudley Kingswinford. Borrowed 3 players from Chaddesley and FWOE. We had a struggle and it was a tough match. We lost Kelly (captain on the day) with a blow to the head and finished the match again with 9 players. Score - 12 all.

This was enough to put us into the semi finals against Five Ways Old Edwardians. (They wouldn't lend us any more players...) We borrowed four from Chaddesley Corbett and DKs but everyone was knackered. We lost by two scores to one with a final result of 5-10.

The cup was between Eccleshall and FWOE with Eccleshall as winners. The Plate was between Coalville/Chaddesley and Dudley Kingswinford I believe (I will check).

Team: Kelly, Vicky, Tolley, Bean, Hair, Bonnie, Emma, Olivia. Borrowed players included Smithy and Fred (FWOE), Steph and others (Chaddesley), Gemma, Selby and Vicky (DK) and others I will have forgotten. Thanks to all.
