This is a video of the lineout, which is how the game starts at the beginning of the chukkas and restarts after each goal. The ball comes out to the F'n'D side of the lineout and is quickly snapped up by the No3, Daisy. video 326KB.

This video shows the No3 trying to prevent our No1 from scoring. Our No1 enters the area by bouncing the ball over the line. The No2 and 3 from F'n'D have kept the opposing No1 and 2 away from her, but their No3 is already in the area waiting for our No 1. Our No1 is riding Romeo who is extremely fast and agile so easily out manouevres the No3 to score. video 489KB.
This video shows a classic move by the opposing No1 (yellow shirt) in the lineout. She pushes forward just as the ball is thrown in and snatchs it despite the best efforts of our No1. She now has the other players on her non-stick side so no-one can take the ball from her. She goes on to score. video 553KB.
