Seconded. And it *was* nice to see the LUNIs lose for once ;-)
The Bath Killer Wheels (who were rather annoyingly announced as being
the Catch team, which now seems to be defunct incidentally) met both
teams in the heats. The LUNIs beat us 9-0 (the same as when we last
played them in London) and Leeds beat us 11-0. Still, it's all good
experience.
We were watching some of the later games and Richard (my hippy friend)
pointed out that the best players have longer sticks. I looked at Lee
Jellyhead, sitting in goal resting on his stick, and noticed that the
stick comes up to his shoulder. The same was true for several of the
top players. My stick comes up to my nipples. I know that Simon PJ is
used to using shorter sticks than mine, yet he manages. How important is
stick length in controlling the ball?
