Hucclecote 42 Oldham 40

27/1/2015

The reigning champions faced a tough journey to Gloucester with a depleted squad due to players being rested for Manchester Thunder’s Superleague fixture the following day. The squad consisted of a few familiar faces but also there were call ups for some of our youngsters.

In the first quarter Oldham started brightly with some real patience in attack. In defence Jodie Gibson, who is back from recent injury, was commanding the circle and winning ball from the Hucclecote attack. Towards the end of the quarter the home side started to claw goals back but Oldham were resilient and won the quarter 14-9.

Oldham vs Bath

14/1/2015

Oldham travelled to Team Bath on Sunday for the first game of 2015, and game out on top to consolidate top spot in the league.

The Christmas break was evident in the first quarter, with Oldham’s customary slow start being more pronounced than normal. Team Bath did have a strong 7 filled with NSL players, including their new import, but Oldham welcomed Jodie Gibson back to the court for the first time since an Achilles injury last June. Oldham fought back into to the quarter despite some very sloppy play all across the court. The quarter ended 10-10.
