Watford and their Scottish rivals Kirkintilloch & Kilsyth served up another thriller in the women’s promotion tournament at Haberdashers today (20 April), ending up all square at 10-10 after the most dramatic of finishes.
The teams had locked horns earlier in the season, when Watford’s 13-12 win earned them top spot in Division 3, with K & K as runners-up.
It seemed that K&K would get the upper hand this time, as they secured a 6-3 lead early in the third period. But the game went to 9-9 in the final quarter before Francesca Cornaglia’s goal edged K&K 10-9 ahead with 14 seconds remaining.
That wasn’t the end of it because a K&K exclusion seven seconds from the end offered Watford one more chance of levelllng – which they took thanks to Anna Leeson three seconds from the final hooter!
City of Bristol defeated Otter Lutra 7-5. A close match saw Otter trailing only 6-5 when Roisin Cunningham-Smyth netted with 3.50 to go, but, within another minute, Imogen Smith’s strike assured success for Bristol.
