Week 2 of games;
They were rather tough.
We played without shame,
We showed our stuff. 

Leila was king of the goals,
While Leah defended her poles. 
Lucy walked right through her opponents,
Showing she was a key component. 

While a couple of teams would draw,
We would unfortunately lose 5. 
With 3 wins on the board,
Rusty Bugs hockey continues to thrive.
