The Hornets team travelled to Birmingham feeling confident after a trophy winning and always improving display in London. The draw offered up a game against an opposition not faced before this season- Hot Custard. With custard currently ranked 3rd against Hornet’s 6th they should have been the favourites for the game. Cambridge however fancied their chances and trained hard to prepare for what the game would throw at them. It was a dream start to the tournament with the Hornets scoring 4 in quick succession and leaving Hot Custard wondering how they could ever get back into the game. The ‘Knoop Scoop’ was ripping holes in the defence and despite playing chicken with the fence close to the dead ball line the team held on to their convincing lead.
