The game kicked off strong with Newcastle showing their strength from the first moment they touched the balls.
As a first-time watcher of competitive dodgeball, it took me two rounds to wrap my head around the specific rules, how it worked, and what to watch for.
Duck
Good at dodging, even better at ducking, the teams faced each other in 12 rounds. In an intense game of ‘will they, won’t they’, they teased their opponents with threats of throwing balls.
Dip
The game kept everyone on their toes with multiple 1v6 for Newcastle, and the promises of a great and interesting game.
Dive
Round 10 greeted us with a complex play from one of the players. An incredible dodge turned into a dive to catch the ball and ended with a perfect throw, kicking out a player of the opposite team.
The crowd roared, shaking their signs and playing their drums to the rhythm of their screams.
And …. Dodge
Round 12 ended in a perfect win by the Newcastle Kings, creating a wave of enthusiasm in the supporters, chanting and screaming to congratulate their friends.
Well done to our dodgeball team, they know how to dodge for sure!
