LUSL Barts vs IC 2s (A) - 11/02/2024
The third and final match report of the week. Thank god it’s a short one, I’m sure you’ve all had enough of me now.
Our week ended with a lovely trek down to ethos to play IC2’s. Where we’d find our biggest challenge to be getting into ethos…. after a grueling 20 minute wait with many plots to jump barriers or break in, eventually IC decided they couldn’t put playing us off any longer. Ready and changed, we graced to poolside. Only to be met by the rest of IC’s elaborate plan to not play us, ICSM and Kings were still playing their match 😱
Finally the match began, with the prospect of winning the league having just been put back on the table (that’s karma ICSM 👀)
Lumpfish began in style, with a speedy swim off to win us the ball. Unfortunately in a catastrophic turn of events IC2’s found the back of the net. Oh no, have we gotten too complacent, what’s going on? With our heads back in the game we started the real match. Flaccid Brexit wasted no time and slung one into the goal. Back in the middle, IC stood no chance, just as they begin their attack, BOOM, heli swoops it off them and we begin our attack. Lumpy scoring a lovely goal. Wham bam, flaccid scored another! Ceviche now in play, helping the boys push the ball up the pool! Tadpole Bal scores a magnificent goal (Bal’s goals are a sight to behold 😍). And to finish off the quarter Flaccid scores another two (although the table thought otherwise🧐) 1-6 to Barts.
After I quickly taught the table how to count, we began our second quarter. Little did we know it would be the last full quarter….. lumpy lump won the swim off (surprise, surprise, I’m just as sick of writing it as you are reading it, we get it Liam you are speeeeedy 🏎️) Tadpole Josie took to pit, a lovely feed in, and then a lovely goal! Heli was busy putting some pace on her player, playing the ball up the pool, to lumpy to scoreeeeeeee (awwww couple goals)! Flaccid turned the ball over, attackkkkkk, up to Bal and he shoots and he scores! Yet another turnover from Lumpy and to Leech to shoot……. and she hits the woodwork (are we surprised? I love the crossbar). With Brazzers in the pool, no one stood a chance, including his poor player RIP. Ceviche pushed the ball up the pool, to Tadpole Josie who won a pen, and took a lovely shot! Tadpole Josie rounded off the quarter with a goal to complete her hat trick! 6-15 to Barts.
What a spectacle! We can’t wait to play another half! Wouldn’t it be lovely to get a huge goal difference! We’re having so much fun!
The third quarter started, with a lovely swim-off (yes lumpy won it)! Straight up to Bal to score! Woahhhhhh what’s happening? Why is the lifeguard shouting? Oh. We’ve run out of pool time? What a lovely 45-second-long third quarter! To spare IC2’s any more embarrassment we packed up and went home! 6-16 to Barts.
