1B vs ICSM 1s - 27/11/2018

ICSM 1s 7 - 12 BLWP

With the promise of waffles, we trekked our way across London for our first visit to Ethos pool. After getting through more security than Buckingham Palace, we finally made our way into the changing room and into a very empty pool. ICSM were late, and with no hot tub to occupy ourselves with, we worked hard on our last minute training and warm up. Marco took on the role of ref and did a great job!

The first quarter we were finding our feet, mainly in the shallow end. The sheer size of the shallow end goal meant shots came thick and fast but we stayed tight on our player and were good at stealing the ball off ICSM.

The second quarter meant we had the big goal and we used it to our full advantage. 4 goals from 4 different people showed how well we played well as a team. Some great use of the wings meant we made the best use of the space and were rewarded with some great goals!

Quarter three was our best quarter. We managed to maintain our defensive position and Tadpole Rory scored his first LUSL goal in amazing style! Another ball to the keeper’s face meant 1st decile remained a distant memory but our lead increased and we could almost feel our first victory coming. Shout out to Renos who got his goal after so many assists throughout the match.

Our final quarter was another attack on the big goal and we used it to our advantage. Our counters were good and we only let one goal in on the final quarter. The goals were scored by an Amoah hat trick but it was a team effort to keep the ball firmly in our side of the pool.

After the match the drama continued as our promise of waffles was let down as the shop had disappeared. Similar looking ones at South Kensington station were mere copies by comparison and not worthy of their hefty price tag!
Overall a great game, showing what happens when we work together and good communication between all the team!
