Sportshall Report – 17 NOVEMber 2007

Wasps FOUND in Portland SportsHall

The second Dorset Indoor Sportshall league match took place on Saturday 17^th November at the Osprey Leisure Centre in Portland.

TEAM REPORTS:

Sadly, in the under 13 boys competition, we were unable to sustain our fine start to the league. This time we were only able to field a team of 5 athletes and managed to come 5^th out of 6 teams. The Wasps are still in second place in the league; however, with only one match to go and over 100 points behind 1^st place Poole AC it leaves us a lot of work to do to try and win the league. Let’s get a good turnout in the final match on 15^th December at Canford and see what we can achieve!

The under 13 girls were also down on numbers from the first match, though they still managed to be placed 5^th out of 8 teams. Overall they remain 5^th but less than 40 points behind the team from Weymouth. A good turnout and performances at Canford could pull the team up to 4^th.

The under 15 girls only just managed to field a complete team this time, and they had another titanic battle against Dorchester Hurricanes, losing out by  8.5 points (305.5 to 297). Overall the girls are still 2^nd in the league, and a good turnout and strong performances in the final match could make for an exciting finish to the league.

We had no representatives in the under 15 boys competition.
