Ten of us (plus one Abingdon loanee, thanks Matt!) headed off
to the Bristol Thunder indoor tournament to face off against a number of high
level teams, including national league teams.
All clubs sent out strong squads for what was billed as a future high
profile tournament, and it was a good challenge for us. We weren’t one of the seeded sides, but in short, we were
awesome, coming 7th out of 13 after 6 30min games. Indeed, we were extremely unlucky to lose a
match that would have put us into the play off for 5th/6th.
Full results were:
Morning
10-2 Win vs Bristol Uni (great long shot by Rich!)
16-3 Win vs Bristol City (featuring two long shots from Charlotte, and
everyone chipping in)
7-6 Win vs Scratch (who had two international players)
Afternoon
Quarter-Finals - The morning’s brilliant results put us into a very tough quarter
final against Bristol Thunder, who came out convincing winners, but we scored twice as many goals
against them as we did in the final of the Bristol City tournament!
Play-Off 1 – 4-5 Loss vs Cardiff Celts. After playing well in a tight game, and leading all the way
through, we conceded two goals right at the end in what was the most gutting
result of the day. Still, it was a very
promising display against a team that were seeded in the competition, and whom we
will be matching up against in the regional league.
Play-Off 2 – 7-6 Win vs Cardiff Uni. It was important to finish with a win and this
was a great way to finish the day.
Cardiff Uni are another team we will be facing in the regional league,
and we played really well, with Taissa scoring at towards the end
to make victory safe.
To finish off the day (8 hours after our first match!), Alice
played for Bearsted in the final of the competition, scoring an awesome long
shot and setting up other goals in their tournament winning victory. Well done Alice!
All in all, a very successful day for Oxford City, with
every single member of the squad scoring. Thanks to everyone that travelled down.
Final scorers – Dan (13), Gaz (9), Becca (5), Claire (5), Jo
(5), Alice (3), Charlotte (2), Matt (2), Taissa (1), Rich (1)
