Thame Typhoons V Leighton Buzzard Typhoons
21 ? 7
Thursday evening saw Thame Typhoons face their first game of the season. The team were nervous and not quite sure what to expect, however everyone managed to shrug of those fears and get on with the task at hand, winning the match. Starting from the first centre, taken by Leighton Buzzard Typhoons, everyone was ready. With a good interception, the ball was heading down to the Thame shooters and in went a goal. This was the beginning of a great game for the Thame Typhoons. Thame went on to dominate with some excellent circle defence from GD Emma Pearce and GK Megan Tiddy. WD Katie Vokes provided good support, being ready for the backwards pass when needed. Excellent centre court play between WA Holly Allen and C Tanya Batchellier and consistent shooting from both GS Jennie Rayment and GA Layla Batchellier saw Thame Typhoons win convincingly. Overall the game was fast paced and Thame kept the Leighton Buzzard on their toes. Thame Typhoons worked hard and took away a well deserved win.
Team: Layla Batchellier (captain), Jennie Rayment, Holly Allen, Tanya Batchellier, Katie Vokes, Emma Pearce and Megan Tiddy.
