pancake pals v sockballers

These two teams have a great rivalry, and always have great banter on and off the court. Pancake Pals certainly showed off why they are our premiers from last season, quickly getting out to a 5-goal lead against the strong Sockballers. Sockballers had some fresh faces on court which is always nice to see but it can take a game or two to start to gel together, the break saw Pancake Pals with a 7-goal lead. Sockballers came out strong in the third, quickly shooting 2 goals, before Pancake Pals put the foot down again and stretched out their lead. Rhiannon defending for Pancake Pals was certainly making Sockballers goalers work for every goal and she was awarded player of the match to go along with the 31 to 13 win by Pancake Pals. Can they go back-to-back this season?
