U13 Hockey v Worksop (A) 2.15pm
The U13 Girls Hockey Team travelled to Worksop College for their first game of the new season.
The team was: Agatha in goal, a rotating defence of Lulu, Coco and Olivia. Rotating on left wing were Emily and Tallulah, rotating on the right were Lilian and Genevieve. In the centre of the park were Captain Tabitha and Eliza.
For the first 5 minutes we played very narrowly down the centre of the pitch but once we’d opened up the space and were utilising our additional energy levels due to our regular rotations, then the goals started to flow.
Tabitha score a hat-trick in 8 minutes, scoring in the 7th, 10th and 15th minute. Lilian scored on her debut on 18 minutes and Tabitha got a 4th a minute later. Half time was 5-0.
With individual and team targets set in the half time talk we took the the pitch again. It took 15 minutes before Lilian raced over half the pitch to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper before calmly slotting home. With 3 minutes left to the game Coco got in on the goal scoring action.
The final score was 7-0 to St. Hugh’s so it was a great start to the season, but it also highlighted some areas to work on over the next week before a double header against Oundle and King’s Ely.
Girl of the Game, as voted for by the opposition, was Lilian.
