Gaby’s gob and the missing gum shield

By Gaby Nusenbaum The Ladies 3s travelled probably the furthest they will all season – to the breezy coast.. of Hull. Having nicely defeated Canalside Terriers the week before 5-0 (we’ll leave out that they only had eight players)… confidence was up for the clash between both teams that were third and fourth in the table.
