Hockey Victory at Heath Mount
Yesterday 24th February we travelled over to Heath Mount School to play hockey . Initially the U9 girls struggled to maintain their positions to use the whole of the pitch, after half time they came out to play a more controlled game and just before the end of the match Alexandra Caine managed to score, so we finished on a 1-1 draw. There was also superb defensive play from Caroline Kelly who definitely stopped Heath Mount from scoring more goals.
Player of the Match was awarded to Alexandra Caine.
The team were: Alexandra Caine, Caroline Kelly, Sorcha Bates (Captain for the match), Alice Ripper, Hannah Gunn, Charlie Burgar and Ellie Hunt.
The U11/U10 girl's match found them struggling in the first half with the speed of the ball and not holding their position but in the second half there was greater attacking moves and Bolade Ladipo out on the wing, never gave up in chasing down balls, tackling players and getting her stick onto the ball to create opportunities for the other girls. Our fortune held out as just before the final whistle, Teia Griffiths managed to control the ball, running it into the shooting area and beating the goalie to score the winning goal 1-0 to Westbrook Hay.
Player of the Match went to Bolade Ladipo.
The team were: Teia Griffiths, Paige Symns, Natasha Tenty (Captain for the match), Bolade Ladipo, Miranda Tubb, Ffyona Spreyer, Annabel O’Sullivan and Isabel O’Sullivan.
