University of Bristol Mens 1st XI vs UWIC

The UBMHC 1st XI went into their final BUCS game with the intention of
sending off their many final years with a fond farewell. The game was
always going to be played at a high tempo with a lot of pride at stake.
UWIC plus their one "golden" boy, were never in the game in the
first 20 minutes as Bristol took an early lead through a Dave Bates
deflection from Fresher Bolthouse on a short corner. Thankfully Bolthouse
has realized he can't score short corners anymore so passed this
one. With Bristol cruised they switched off a bit with 5 minutes to go in
the first half and UWIC countered on this to grab one back after some
sloppy defensive work from Bristol on the baseline.

After a final rallying call for a good BUCS performance from Bristol, they
started the second half much like the first with lots of the ball and
playing well as the team they have become. This began to wear down UWIC so
after another Dave Bates deflection, a Bolthouse flick from 10 yards out,
they thought they'd give him a chance this time, and a Matt Poole
goal, yes you read that correctly, Bristol ran out comfortable winners.
Mom went to Matt Poole; think we felt bad for him so a bandwagon was
started by himself. Dod went to Wyatt for never having done the yard in
his final year.
