20 Sept 08Lowestoft III   8      Grasshoppers 2XI    0

Grasshoppers second team were not so lucky away at Lowestoft. Even though losing 8 – 0 the visitors gave 110%, and with only 9 players they can at least say that they did their best under the circumstances. Captain Lucy Elsdon said she was pleased with the teams efforts and the new members did well despite being thrown into the deep end.    back

27 Sept 08Grasshoppers 2XI   4      Sudbury IV    3

It was hot but the Hoppers were hotter (yes I know Alix). In a reversal from last week, the 2XI had a surplus of players, all putting in their best. But Sudbury was to strike first. It was not long before Bev not only levelled the match but put them ahead. Julie made it 3 - 1, now could we hold on to this impressive start. No is the short answer, Sudbury came back and despite Nicky’s efforts was not able to stop them clawing their way back to a 3-3 draw. Two minutes to go and could we hold on to a well deserved draw, well No again, as we were awarded a Penalty Stroke. Now I’m sure that the huddle which ensued was full of volunteers, but the result of the eeny meeny miny mo was that Julie was to step up to the spot. This was put away calmly which left only seconds to the end of the match. Well done - great result.    back

4 Oct 08Grasshoppers 2XI   1      Christchuch II    2

“Somebody’s” sister scored two goals, although it would have been a lot more it wasn’t for the efforts of Lou in goal and Sue and the defensive team. Jenny had a great game and got ‘man of the match’. But I’m almost positive that it was JULIE that scored for us, that’s Julie, not Lucy or Lodge or anybody else. Definitely Julie.    back
