Waller Invitation Tournament 07/12/08

On 7th December we played in the Waller Invitation Tournament at Exeter. The team included: G Rostron, L Langman, H Rostron, D Langman, B Rollinson, D Crook, M Edwards, A Wilson, R Robinson, A Bingham, J Bailey, R Hudspth, K Rollinson and A Cowan.
When we arrived after an hours drive, we had a quick chance to look around the pool. Our first match was against Cheltenham, by the first half we were 7-0 down. The finishing score was 11-0
Our next match was against Barnstaple, they played well and had won against Paignton 4-1. By the first half the score was 2-1, with a good goal from D Crook. In the second half the score proceeded to 4-1 to Barnstaple. We lost but had a good game. The next match was against Paignton and having lost our first two matches we were determined to win the next. Paignton though had also lost their previous two matches, so we were both fighting to be the winner. In the first half the score was 3-1 to Paignton, but D Crook scored a brilliant goal. The match ended with the score 5-1 to Paignton.
We may have lost all our three matches, however, everyone enjoyed the experience and the nice fish and chips that followed! Thanks go to B Sanders, C Wallace and B Baker for refereeing our matches.
