4th October 2008

Opposition:                 Henley E

Final Score:                42 - 20 (win)

Players Player:          Amy Thompson

Another good win for Bulkington, but a much tougher and physical game than the previous two.  Bulkington started slowly and made hard work of the first quarter, but towards the end they began to get much more into their stride.  Henley were mainly experienced players, and physical strong, which almost 'rattled' Bulkington to begin with.  

The Bulkington defence picked up some brilliant interceptions with Kim, Jo, Jackie and Amy helping to turn the game around to Bulkingtons advantage.  When the attack struggled to get the ball into the circle, there was constant back up from Jackie and Jo which helped the attack immensely. Lisa, Amy and Lyndsey worked the ball around attack well again, although sometimes looking to throw too many long balls into the circle, but as the attack mastered Henleys game they worked the ball much better.  Some great shots from Ali and Lyndsey put Bulkington well ahead of Henley, although the score doesn't reflect the game as a whole, it was certainly much tougher!!!  

Overall, a great result, another great display of teamwork and another step in the right direction for Bulkington!
