J3 HOCKEY V HOLMWOOD HOUSE

In their third game, the Junior 3s were back on attacking form, with Tess Walker leading her team to a 7-1 victory. Coping brilliantly with the different surface (a grass pitch!), the girls put the opposition under a great deal of pressure, attacking well, riding the tackles and taking on advice to shoot as soon as they entered the D – to great effect. The second half offered an opportunity for the girls to try some unfamiliar positions and the defenders showed as much skill and determination in attack as their peers had in the first half! A highlight was Sophia’s run from defence, down the right wing, looking up, passing the ball into the D to Chloe on the P spot, with only a heroic save from the keeper denying the perfect ending. Well done, girls! Goals came from Tess, Libbie, Kat and Iris.
