Women's 1st XI Vs Newquay 1

Caradon played out an exciting 5-5 draw with high flying Newquay.

After a very sluggish start by Caradon, Newquay were on the front foot and were dominating play. They took the lead from a well working penalty corner within the first 5 minutes. Caradon huffed and puffed but were struggling to link play, however they did equalise when Daisy Heal scrambled home a loose ball in the circle. This did not kick start the home team and Newquay raced to a 3-1 lead at the half time break. 
With a stern team talk, Caradon were determined to increase the intensity and this payed off when Bizz Jeffery and heal combined to bring the score to 3-2. This proved the catalyst for a high intensity contest between the sides. Cards of various colours were issued by the umpires to both teams that kept the game from boiling over. Newquay scored the next to make it 4-2 but as thier defenders lost composer Caradon equalised through goals from Claire Mitchell and Hannah Bladon. 
With the game coming to an end Newquay regained the lead only for Heal to score the equaliser shortly after. 
Player of the match Helen Delbridge saved a last minute drag flick to ensure the points were shared, a fair result after 70 minutes of exhilarating hockey.
