The Blues of Carlisle hosted the Greys of Didsbury
With the Cumbrians giving a debut to Jemima Cherry
Greys unbeaten since first game of the season
Carlisle believing with rhyme and reason

Carlisle started like a jet
Forging forward and being a constant threat

Prominent was quicksilver Katie
Close to scoring definitely maybe
The midfield in command led by Holly
All in all things were looking jolly

But Alice’s aerials were going awry
One landed in a nearby garden on its flyby
Carlisle’s purple patch began to wane
All attacking endeavours had been in vain

With the scoresheet remaining blank
The Greys rallied clearly having more in the tank
The Cumbrians defence were being pressed
But Amy, Emma and Anna stood the test

So honours even at the break
All to play for. What would it take?
To separate the sides, perhaps a mistake?
Both teams wary. So much at stake.

Carlisle, after sage advice at half time
Were reinvigorated seeking the sublime
With the Greys in battleship hue play was neither vanilla nor beige
The heat intensified which the umpires needed to assuage

Last five still even then Carlisle struck gold
Katie calmly rounded the keeper and in the goal the ball she rolled
Didsbury responded with colour adding to their previous greens
With a yellow and another green in trying to stop the Cumbrians by any means

Two minutes later the game was done and dusted
Holly fired in a peach of a shot .Greys were truly busted
Then came the final whistle
Here endeth this latest epistle
