Northern Thunder Update

Northern Thunder and Northern Thunder Blues have no matches now until 7th and 8th February 2009. The two weekends they have already played in this season have went well so far, placing Northern Thunder in 2nd and Northern Thunder Blues in 3rd in the WFA league table.

The first weekend for both teams was an eye opener as the teams they played had come on a bit from the season before. Northern Thunder losing one game, drawing one and winning three made it a fun weekend with a better understanding on where they need more training. Northern thunder Blues losing two games and winning two also made them think where they needed training.

The second weekend down in Kettering was different for both teams. Cath McNicol moved up to play with Northern Thunder and Jake Graydon and Harry Thompson were playing with Northern Thunder Blues after a late withdrawl from Chris Jackson because of ill health. Aran Guthrie also became captain of Northern Thunder Blues.
