In the blazing hot sunshine at Fortress Gordano, the ladies 1st Xl arrived with fire in their bellies and murder in their eyes.
After a very strong start North found their form and settled in playing some lovely quick passes and the first goal was smashed in by Toots after just 12 minutes.
Firebrands offered a few token attacks down the right wing only to be thwarted by Norths solid defence. Norths new star Lara scored two absolute peaches with much appreciation from the crowd.
3-0 at half time and Coach Ash was spotted practically skipping into the goal for his half time team talk.
The second half saw Lara smash her 3rd goal home and Charlotte score an absolute beauty from a right slip in a well practiced short corner routine.
North were relentless and kept the pressure on making Firebrands question "what the hell is going on here".
Another goal each from Lis and Toots put the score to 7-0.
Firebrands managed to find a lone player free at the top of North's D who struck one into the roof of the net which was applauded by both sides.
In the 67th minute, Luna's sheer determination and persistence finally paid off scoring North's 8th goal.
Great feedback from Firebrands "You've just given us a lesson in how to play Hockey".
BOOOOOOOOOM
