IAPS U11A HOCKEY TOURNAMENT

The A team arrived at Orwell Park, very excited for the day ahead.

Our first match was against Framlingham College, we started slowly and the opposition had quite a few chances at goal. Finding our stride in the second half, we created some good opportunities and had some very near misses ourselves. One being the ball rolling along the goal line, but it just didn’t go in! In the end we finished the match with a 0-0 draw.

Our next opponent was Kings College. It was a nail biting game, we were evenly matched at 1-1, until we scored a thrilling goal in the final minutes of the game, taking us to a 2-1 win.

We played Witham Hall next, they had a strong team with a particularly good right wing player, sadly we lost 3-0.

After lunch, we played Stephen Perse with lots of energy. We were evenly matched and ended the game with a disappointing 0-0 draw.

We then played Kingshott, they were very good and we did well to defend and end the match with a 0-0 draw.

We were delighted to find out that we were through to the quarterfinals, where we played Norwich School, but lost 4-1. This sadly marked the end of our tournament.

We had such a wonderful day, we played well as a team and everyone enjoyed it.
