Ladies 2s Move in Right Direction
By Ellie de Heer
Canterbury L1 1 – 1 SHC Ladies 2s
POM: Elani Sherwood
DOD: Ellie de Heer
It was a cold and rainy Saturday
When Surbiton 2s headed down to Canterbury
They were looking for their first win,
Otherwise Will Fulker was putting them in the bin
Ellie de Heer got there 2.5 hours early,
She apparently quite enjoys the journey
To the players’ delight,
A changing room was provided, which proved quite the highlight.
On the first whistle,
Surbiton were off like a ballistic missile.
An early chance for the opposition,
Was saved by Tessa and her calm disposition
Canterbury were left rather shocked,
But the first quarter remained deadlocked
The pressure was mounting,
The crowd were shouting
And then it came,
Hannah Denison took aim
A cracking reverse hit,
Had Canterbury’s goalie thinking ‘S***’
1-0 was the score at half time,
I can’t believe I’m making this all rhyme.
The second half was underway,
We wanted to keep Canterbury at bay
Things started to get heated,
Cards were given with both teams feeling cheated
The third quarter was up,
We were so close to rounding this all up
But Canterbury had other plans,
A much needed goal pleasing their fans
It was 1-1,
But the game was not yet done
The clock was counting down,
But Canterbury refused to back down
The final whistle was blown,
Surbiton let out a big groan
It was another draw,
But the crowd were left in awe
Surbiton once again showed
How they so often play in beast mode
Next week we go again,
Slough to come and play at Sugden Lane
You better be there,
To witness all this finesse and flair
And a special mention to player of the game, Elani
She really did do plenty
So see you next week,
You’re in for an absolute treat!
