Alex Smart sings: "On the twelfth day of Christmas, the 3s gave to me…

12 + 1 intrepid travellers once again battling a storm for their love of hockey.

11 strains of cold, cough and man flu.

10 minutes having a car picnic of coffee and Ellen’s homemade flapjack crumble waiting for Juliet to get out of bed and put her hockey kit on.

9 minutes for a team meeting via FaceTime. “Don’t tell Meg I’m in a state”, says Juliet. Shortly before being caught on FaceTime having a nap in the back of the car.

8 reminders from Meg to meet and move the ball.

7 minutes to equalise and maintain an unbeaten record.

6 rounds of chicken nuggets and chips for Juliet to mop up last night’s booze.

5 weeks without Shifty Shelley. She was so confused on her return, she followed a mum into the boys changing room to collect a small child.

4 digestifs for Ange and Abbie in the pub – a latte with a Baileys chaser for each of them.

3 minutes in the ring for Jo having a bust up with the opposition.

2 great goals. The first in open play with a slick transfer from Lizzy at a 16 to me pushing up into the middle of the pitch on the right, straight into the D for Shelley to finish. The second, a classic Lizzy straight strike on a penalty corner with just the right amount of bounce to make it impossible to save.

1 place at the top of the Christmas tree at the halfway point of the season.

PoM: Georgie and Shelley.
DoD: Clearly Juliet. Jo got off lightly for leaving her car windows open in the car park during a storm."
