start we were well behind at half time 5-5 to 0-0. In the second half we had a
better performance but could not peg the home team and were defeated 6-7 to
5-2. While back in Abbeyside the Div 1 team started very slowly also and were
well behind at half 0-3 to 2-6. In the second half we played much better and
started to notch up the scores. This was a battle to the end and we just
