J3 HOCKEY V NORWICH

Their second match was a much tougher affair, the girls having to show how well and for how long they could defend. Despite defeat some excellent covering by Elise and Lucy kept the score relatively close. Our goal, scored by Kat, showed great determination, pushing through the midfield and forcing her way into the opposition D. 1-1 at half time was promising but Norwich came out firing in the second half and the Junior 3s couldn’t quite sustain the necessary intensity in defence. Much was learnt from the 1-4 defeat; a particular plus was the brilliant goal keeping by Lily Yallop.
