Croydon see off the Welsh dragons from Cardiff cityThe start of the second day, and the results were wide open. With a mixture of Welsh internationals and more experienced hands the Oxford, Wales and West regional league champions were not to be taken lightly. Coach Jeanes had been watching earlier games and had a clear strategy in place. Captain Nigel Hudspith took Janeu, Grace and Ross in his end, and Andy and Anna teamed up again with Susan and Vernon. Cardiff seemed to alter their tactics and were much tighter in defence than in previous games. Croydon picked this up quickly, and went back to their more familiar style. Although the result never felt in doubt, with goals spread throughout the team. Nevertheless, the Welsh team demonstrated some good moves and scored some good goals to keep the game competitive.
