LUSL Barts vs King’s - 18/11/2022 (H)

BLWP 10 - 13 King’s

Still fresh from their 17-9 win over IC2s, LUSL Bart’s made their way to the home ground at Poplar to face Kings on 25th November. 

The first quarter started strong, with our star Danish player, Tadpole Christian, scoring the first goal of the match within 60 seconds. Chundy Shark then proved to be an absolute machine wearing the red hat, batting away balls left, right and centre. Our Club Captain Anglerfish shone in this quarter, bringing her usual graceful speed and endless determination to the game. The end of this quarter saw Kings lead with 4-1. 

Leech displayed excellent swims down the wing in the second quarter, taking on her player with relentless energy. Meanwhile immense control and maturity was shown by Tadpole Domi, outwitting his player and hitting the back of the net several times. Barney Bear was a stone wall stopping the opposition and refused to let Kings go. Seahare was also continually hunting down players in pit. Going into half time the score was Kings 6-3 BLWP. 

After a strong team talk at half time, BLWP tightened the play. This paid off significantly, allowing for very slick teamwork between tadpole Noah and Seahare- with Tadpole Noah giving an excellent assist for Seahare to tap another goal in. Tadpole Eira was not to be stopped in this quarter, as she fought for the ball time and time again. BLWP again saw calm and collected play, this time from Lil Sardine, who on countless occasions displayed excellent transitions on the wing. BLWP went into the final quarter with the score 10-4 to Kings. 

The final quarter saw BLWP rattle the 11 Kings players. Tadpole Christian lived in the goalkeeper’s head rent free, skilfully tapping the ball in 5 times. This quarter saw him scratched up by another Dane, which fuelled the power of his goals. Helsinki continued to rally against her player on the wing, showing great physicality. Seahare once again fooled the goalkeeper, allowing Bart’s to rack up a total of 6 goals in the quarter. The final score was Barts 10-13 Kings. 

Final score: Barts 10-13 Kings

Player of the match: Sea Hare- he displayed excellent defence in pit as well as popping in some lovely goals!
