Honours Even Between Grasshopper 1 Regional Team and Brigg

Grasshopper 1 fielded a full strength team and had a very closely contested first quarter – coming out winners at 8-6.

However, during the second quarter, Grasshopper 1 lost some of their rhythm and consistency, which allowed Brigg to capitalise. This led to them not only winning the quarter but leading at half time (16-18).

A couple of changes were made at the break. The fresh legs helped Grasshopper 1 win the quarter and regain the lead; the score being 27-25 going into the last quarter.
​
It was still too close to call who the eventual winners would be in the fourth quarter. However, in the dying seconds of the game, Grasshopper 1 were given a penalty pass just outside the attacking circle. With the scores level at 34-34, Grasshopper knew they needed just one goal to secure the win, but the conversion was not to be: a slight mix up wasted vital seconds and meant the ball had not passed fully through the ring at the final whistle – a nail-biting finish to the drawn match! Grasshopper 1’s Player of the Match was GD Holly Walker.
