Flags Semi Finals: Penarth Bear v Cardiff Harlequins

The lacrosse Flags Championship Semi final was played away on Saturday 14th in Cardiff between the Bears and Quinn’s. This was a match which was going to test every part of the Bears game.

The first quarter started hard and fast with the Bears steeling 5 goal with some of the best team work of the season and leaving the Quinn’s with no reply.

In the second quarter their was no let up by the Bear’s by securing another 3 goals with the Quinn’s only scoring 1 in reply, dominating the game all the way up to half time. Half time score 8-1 to the Bears.

The third quarter saw the game starting to slow and settle down with the Bears scoring 3 and the Quinn’s starting to find the back of the net. It was looking good for a crunch finish.

The final quarter was hard battle between the Quinn’s who where chasing the Bears lead. The Bears made some basic errors which gave the Quinn’s an early goal but the Bears defence stood fast to the bitter end. Penarth Bears won the semi final 11-5.

Scorers:
Dave Porter 3,
Chris Ball 2,
Rhys Hill 2,
