The Vikings women faced this Sunday, the Spartanz, who won their first match very impressive against the Ravens. The girls started well and build a comfortable lead throughout the first half (6:4, 12:7, 18:10).
In the second half the Spartanz seemed to be better in the game, but today the Vikings did not back down and won by 31:17.
Though we won convincingly, there is lots of work to do to improve our team play.
Vikings HC:

The Vikings men faced today the Hutt Hawks. The game started going back and forward an no team could build a lead with more than two goals until the last few minutes of the half. The Vikings went with a 18:13 into the half time break.
At the beginning of the second half the Hawks fought their way back into the game (22:19, 24:22) before the Vikings retook the momentum and closed our the game (31:25, 34:30).
Today our defence did seem to be like a swiss chesse – holes everywhere –  but we were able to get away with a win. Moving forward we need to work on our team defence.
