Hampshire League Defeat
Our defence of the Hampshire League title came unstuck against a strong Bournemouth side last night.
Stokewood Road swimming pool is never a pleasant place to play and we had heard that Bournemouth had a better side this year than in recent times, having already defeated both Southampton University and Basingstoke in their campaign. They had shown signs of a resurgence last year and have managed to keep hold of those players whilst recruiting a few more.
We went behind fairly early on in the first quarter and stayed that way for the entire game. Defending the hole player in the shallow pool cost us numerable majors with Diddy grabbing two in the same number of minutes in the 3rd.
We managed to get within three goals in the 3rd but then faded to a 12-6 defeat.
Our next Hampshire League match is the return fixture at Boscawen on 17th February 2008. If they show up with the same team, then we'll have a difficult game.

Sunday's Results
We had two home games last Sunday against Bridport teams.
The first game was against Bridport Ladies and both sides has full strength teams. The score remained close for the duration with the opposition generally holding a one or two goal lead and it ended that way.
Next game was 2nd team game against Bridport 1sts. Again the opposition had fielded a strong side and at times it looked like that might prevail but we ended up winning an exciting match by one goal.
