LUSL Barts vs IC 1s - 29/01/2023 (A)

BLWP 2 - 20 IC

On 30th January, LUSL Barts made another trip down to sunny South Ken to play Imperial 1s. This match opened for Barts with Helsinki being sent out within the first minute of play, after taking on (or attempting to do so) an IC player. Meanwhile, Leech and Lil Sardine consistently made fast paced swims on the wings, supporting the rest of the team and outswimming their opponents. We saw an early goal with immense power (off the scale, I have no words for it) from Tadpole Theo, who sets a great example for younger players with his shots. Marina Coil displayed excellent development of her play, showing great confidence and staying goalside of her player. Tadpole Noah formed a great base of support during this match, as he gave his all in each counter attack carried out by the opposition. Our second goal was scored by Tadpole Domi, who went above and beyond with his defence this game- to the point of having an uncountable number of majors (although the ref didn’t seem to care and let him play on). Alongside him, our club captain hammered on in the game, outswimming almost all the men and making insane drives again and again. Barney Bear hunted down IC players and made great drives towards the ball, providing many options for transition down the pool. Poonami showed great maturing in this game, showing great man on man defence and putting immense pressure on their players. Chundy Shark defended our goal valiantly and communicated constantly with the rest of the team. Falala, as usual put in tremendous efforts during this game, and exceeded everyone’s expectations with her swims and intimidating defence. The final result was a 20-2 win for IC1s. 

Player of the match- Tadpole Theo for a generating a ridiculous amount of energy and smashing the ball in the goal.
