Sweltering heat too much for Basingstoke

In scorching heat at thirty-three degrees, a hockey match that brought us to our knees. Thomas, in the goal, stood like a mountain so tall, blocking shots left and right, he defied them all.

Patrick, a whirlwind, ran wild and free, A crazed maniac, the crowd could plainly see. He won man of the match, and in his glory, danced like a madman, the hero of our story.

Chris Badger, oh so sly, with his hat trick so sweet, scored goals with a flick and nimble feat. He dashed through the heat, never missing a beat, Chris Badger was the star, what a feat!

Aaron, the newbie, had a debut so bright, In the scorching sun, he showed his might. Though melting away in the heat of the day, His performance was hot, no one could say nay.

Shaggy, oh Shaggy, a legend in his own right, with his air shot routine, gave us quite a sight. The stick soared to the sky, oh my, oh my, we wondered if it would ever came down from up high.

Mike, our umpire, got a unique vote indeed, "Dick of the day" for his calls they decreed. Heat-induced hallucinations, his reason so wry, but we laughed and forgave, under the sun, oh so dry.

Dave Badger, oh dear, had a moment to forget, with Richie's pass so perfect, a chance he could've met. But the ball slipped away, a comedy on display, "Dick of the day" for him, we had to say.

Now, after the game, we gathered in glee, For the best teas ever, you'll soon agree. Ice creams and ice packs to cool our souls, followed by pizza that made us all whole.

So, in this hockey match, under the blazing sun so bright, laughs and memories were our true delight. Though the heat was intense, we'll forever say, It was a day of fun, come what may
