Day 2 of the Tournament

Today was the day that the competative matches started, we had an early start with a game against buffalo at 9 a.m. They were a completely differant standard to the game we had against Cheaspeake Rock Lime, but as a team we stepped up to the mark and only lost 7-5 because of a couple of duff calls by the referees; although we didnt win, we made a huge statement and showed what we could do.

Having played the first game we had a big break before our next game at 3 p.m as usual the banter was flying, but this time was spent, by the majority of people, resting and recovering for our busy afternoon.  having had lunch we started to prepare for our next match, we kitted up and got out to the field in plenty of time to getready for the game.  This game was dubbed by the opposition as England versus the USA. We tried not to let this phase us and went out and played our fast hard hitting game, it is fair to say that the Americans didn't like how we took the game to them and again this game was only lost because of some rash decisions.

Our final game of the day was against the hurricanes, this team is one of the favourites to win and as in the previous two games we just tried to play our game and do as well as we could and compared how other teams have played against them we were amazing, for example the buffalo team we played as our first game were beaten 13-5, whereas we manged to contain them.  Eddie had an outstanding game and was one of the main reasons we managed to contain the hurricanes. Even though they ran out 10-1 winners, the score didnt reflect how we played.

I feel that special thanks should go to Bob and Aca Carney who are both helping out with the photography and the videoing of the games, we all the really appreciate it.

Bring on tomorrow!!
