Match Report
Result: W 1-0, D 0-0, L0-1, L0-2
We made the long trip to Bakewell for the St Anselm's Festival. Luckily, despite the forecast it stayed dry. We made a great start with a win in our first match against St Anselm’s with some impressive hockey from the team and a well taken goal from George C. We then played Bablake School and again dominated the match with a number of close efforts on goal, particularly from Josh F and Rory P. It finished 0-0. The fact that Joshua N in goal had touched the ball once in the first two games shows how well we had played. We played Ranby School next who had one very strong player who scored the first goal. We then had a number of good opportunities to score ourselves but couldn't quite beat their goalkeeper.
The final game was against a strong Repton team - despite this I think we played our best hockey of the season in a 2-0 defeat, holding our own and coming close to scoring a number of times. Sam H was particularly strong in possessions and James and Edward B tried really hard in defence. A great effort all round and a little unlucky not to qualify for the semi-finals.
