Today saw Norwich Dragons represented in the NCHC charity 7s tournament, in aid of the Epilepsy Society, by a team of 10 consisting of players from all 5 Ladies teams which was great to see. The team was…..

Gail Thomas                  Hannah Hardy
Olivia Thomas               Debbie Santa Clara
Sophie Thomas             Hazel Medler
Claire Fairhurst              Polly Watson
Bridget Le Good            Laura Tuck

Although a bit on the chilly side the day started with our first pool game against Sprowston played on the new ‘H20’ pitch. This made the match a bit of a lottery as the 1st goals scored by both sides demonstrated.  However Sprowston were the eventual winners 3-1. These were to be the only goals conceded by Dragons throughout their 6 games.

Dragons won their next 2 pool games but due to the format of the points system this left them 3rd out of 4, pipped by ‘Chicks with Sticks’ on goal difference, and found themselves challenging for positions 5-8.  The good form continued as Dragons went on to comfortably win their next 3 games to take 5th place.

On reflection to play 6 games, win 5, score 10 and only concede 3 it was a little disappointing to only get 5th place but everyone pulled together, played really well as a team and seemed to enjoy themselves so a big thank you to you all.

Thanks also to H for all her umpiring throughout the day.
