Match Report
Results:
- Laxton W 1-0
- Witham W 3-0
- Maidwell Hall W 4-0
The U9 Boys' Hockey Team travelled to Witham Hall to play in their first hockey tournament. All the Year 4 boys played as well as Ralph from Year 3.
Our first game was against Laxton School. We were clearly full of enthusiasm as both teams chased the ball around the pitch, making passing quite difficult. George P did keep his position in defence and this certainly helped us keep a clean sheet. We did score the only goal of the game to give us a 1-0 win.
Between games we discussed the importance of keeping to position and looking for space and our play improved markedly in the next two games. Beau, William C and Gio were all threats in attack, showing some nice stick skills. Edward R and Ralph also showed determination, particularly when tackling and we scored a number of excellent goals in the next two games to win quite easily. I was also impressed by Joshua M and Edward P, particularly in the final game against Maidwell Hall when both had shots on goal. A very successful afternoon.
