Bengals vs. Renegades Match Report

Last Updated on Saturday, 13 March 2010 23:43

The last encounter with Renegades served up much frustration for Bengals with injury reducing their team to 7 within the early stages of play.  This time Bengals were at full strength and determined to put in a strong performance.  Filling in for the injured Helen S. and Karl were Steve and wannabe Bengal Leanne.  The team mascot (a not so fierce stuffed tiger toy) watched on from the sidelines as the game began. Within 5 minutes Bengals claimed the first goal of the game and looked in control.  With plenty of chances put up in the air the goals started to come.  Renegades had certainly gained some experience since the last encounter and danger man Dave's tenacious approach led to a long range Renegades goal, but the Bengals own combined experience was too much to them.  At half-time the score was 5:1 to the Bengals.

The second-half was quite different to the first with Renegades defending the Bengals attack well and held the score at 6:1 for what seemed like an age.  With 3 minutes to go the break through happened and Bengals scored a goal leading to a switch of ends.  Bengals made the most of the last 3 minutes of play with a tasty medium range goal from Leanne and a running in shot scored by Stuart with the ball falling through the basket to be greeting with the final whistle of the game.  A comfortable victory for Bengals. Final score Bengals 9, Renegades 1.
