Our second day saw us come up against the Colombians in fiercely hot weather. We were playing in the middle of the day but had lost Louise to sunstroke (from the first day). This was a massive blow to the handler line. I was feeling the heat myself for the first time and struggled to maintain concentration. We were battling hard but it was clear a lot of the team was not coping well with the heat. Emma and Amy are amongst those few who were carrying us through each point and clocking scores in our favour, though the tricoloured morphs can also take some credit for one of the goals! At half time Alan proposed we forfeit the game as were dropping like flies and it wasn't a game we needed to win. The Irish blood in us fired up at this notion and a majority vote said nay! We went out in the second half, screwed the noodles on and battled out the rest of the game. Seeing how we started off the next day, I think it was the best thing we could have done for our spirits and morale.
MVP of the game: Amy Moffat
Score: 3-17
