U15 and U14B Hockey Teams Start Season with Convincing Wins
Last week our Year 10 Hockey players took on RHS in their first match of the season.
This squad is small in numbers but very mighty in terms of the commitment they put into their practices, and the heart they show on the pitch; and this first match delivered the rewards the team deserved for the way they have approached the start of the term.
From the off our team proved physically the stronger unit and dominated the match. This allowed for lots of positional rotations to gain maximum learning and experience. Team captain, Alex, was a force to be reckoned with using his pace and power up the right flank, while Harry showed no end to his work rate.
Goals were scored by Pranav, Harry, Alex (2) and Arthur (2), showing his versatility going from goalkeeper in one half of the match to double goal scorer in the next. Player-of-the-Match was awarded to Harry.
Year 9 players in the U14B team travelled to Framlingham College, eager to get going!
The team learned about their structure fast, with and without the ball in what was for most, their first 11-a-side match. It was a great way to start their campaign with a win and clean sheet. Goals were scored by Tom C and Alex W, while Lewis was awarded Player-of-the-Match from Mr Flatt.
The boys are working very hard at practices, with all the Year 9s pushing each other for selection into the U14A and B team.
