'It's got 0-0 written all over it'

On Saturday 18th November, history will take place on the hallowed turf of UCD's fine sandbased pitch. New girl on the block, Edel Ward, will take on the experienced Ro Hockey, in what promises to be the game of the season... Early predictions indicate that a crowd of 10-15 people are expected to attend (yes, this does include the 2 coaches, umpires and subs).

This years sixths are a totally different team from last year... unbeated in all competitions... the team oozes confidence... from Aoife 'I bake' at the back, to Blaithin 'I'm mad' up front... The team also fields many of McKays famous fifths from last year, and they are showing him just what he's missing... Roisin Duffy is scoring for fun, Julie Hanlon laughs at attackers, and Melanie Boyle is the Roy Keane of Minor A. The coaching team is also quality... with Patrick Jackman (Avoca 2nds) dispensing his knowledge to the eager team, passing on all he learnt from the great Delaney as he kept him company on the bench last year.

The sevenths are more of a mystery... Edel definitely has the fittest teams in the league, and also a strong defense... Watch out for key player Jenny... and Fiona Browne (ex sixth), along with Heather McKay (cards) and Miriam (canadian)...

The Sevenths are not known for their goalscoring ability, and with Hockeys team allegedly missing some key midfielders this game has 0-0 written all over it...
