Lady Richmond Brown 2010
Eight of us made the journey up the M3 to Basingstoke yesterday for the annual Lady Richmond Brown competition.
Six teams took part this year, split into two groups. We had Basingstoke and Andover and the other group was Southampton City & Uni and also Portsmouth.
We lost the first game against Basingstoke 9-5 and drew 4-4 against Andover.
After the Basingstoke - Andover game finished 7-3, we had the same points and goal difference as Andover and moved to a penalty shoot-out which we lost 4-3.
That meant we played Portsmouth for 5th/6th place and emerged comfortable winners after going 3-0 down initially.
The competition was won by hosts Basingstoke who defeated Southampton Uni 5-4 in the final.

Knockout Victory
We travelled to Portsmouth last night to play in the Knockout Cup.
This is a handicapped competition and we started 14 goals down.
Things didn't look too promising as we only had 8 players, were playing in a double deep pool (at least it was only 25m and not the 30m it could have been) and the goals were very small, junior types.
However, we finished the night as 21-14 winners - they didn't score!

Another Win
Sunday's home game against Southampton City resulted in a comfortable win over our old rivals.
The visitors were missing their star player Mark Williams and had a young goalkeeper but caused us some problems, especially with the presence of former Basingstoke player Paul Adams. Fortunately for us he was wrapped for dissent in the second quarter, although we lost Ed Stevens when he was majored out soon afterwards.
Next Hampshire League game is against current leage leaders Southampton Uni at home next Sunday.
The Ladies team are also playing Bridport that night with the 2nds travelling to Southampton Uni on Wednesday.
