Streatham Storm vs Newcastle Vipers
29 March 2008

Following what can only be described as an epic journey to Newcastle, the team arrived at the rink and immediately discovered both a lack of rubber on the floor and a lack of free changing rooms. The game began fairly slowly, and it was Newcastle who drew first blood. But with some strong play from the forwards and some tight positional work from the D Streatham were able to claw back a couple of goals and by the start of the third period were in the lead.

The game was tough and physical in places with Hannah Carnegy being twice flattened and Zuzana Dobrovolna getting mercilessly picked on by Newcastle's defense. In a moment of pure genius, the referee called Katka Paulova for diving, but the penalty kill remained undefeated.

In the third period Streatham Storm consolidated their lead, 4-2 and left the rink extolling the virtues of a full bench and playing your position. This was without a doubt the prettiest game of hockey the team has played this season and gives us high hopes for the remaining games.

Georgia Gale Grant (MVP)
