U11 & U13 Girls' v Heath Mount School

U13B
The U13B team took on Heath Mount on Wednesday and won 2-1. After a slow start which saw Felsted 1-0 down at half time, the two super subs of Bella Westlake and Scarlett Coote, both scoring a goal each, saw Felsted turn the result into a win.

U11B
The U11 B team took on Heath Mount U11A team. Felsted played brilliantly against some very skilful players. Unfortunately we lost 2-0 but I cannot fault the girls' effort or determination during the match. Lots of positives, especially from the defence, and just some more work needed on the attacking side of the game.

U11C
Unfortunately, due to time issues, we were only able to play 2x10 minutes. The goals came when we attacked down the right, with Chloe Green and Shola Akindayini dominating the game. We won 2-0.

U13 Girls' v St Edmunds College

U13 E: Won 7-0
The girls' played their first match with an enthusiastic attitude and showed great determination and fight the whole way through. H. Clarke, S. Tameifuna and S. Norton on the wings and G. Frewin playing centre. We had several goals in the first half.  K. Malden and M Abbas, who both had a very strong game, made some super tackles and fed the ball wide which pushed the play up and gave us plenty of chances to score. The defence did not have much play in the first half as our attack was so strong, however St Edmund’s College got more breaks as we become tired, some excellent saves from S. Toomey.
Well done girls, an impressive first game. Keep up your positive attitudes and enjoyment of the game!
Hunny Clark would like to add a thank you to Mrs Green for coaching them and helping throughout the match.


U13 D: Won 7-2
After going down to an early goal, the girls took control of the game in mid-field and forced a levelling goal just before half time. Imogen Gander and Gemma Wood looked secure at the back with confident kicking from Issy Broom. Driven on by the tireless Ellie King in midfield, Felsted dominated the second half with 5 different players scoring.  


U13 C: Won 2-0
All of the players worked hard in the game, both in attack and defence. The ball was beginning to be passed with more confidence and out to the wings. Chloe Green showed her versatility by playing in several positions and Scarlett Coote proved what a star player she is going to be, by keeping the pressure on in the attack phases, earning her the player of the match.

U13 A & B Girls' v Greshams


U13 A: Lost 2-4
U13 A team lost 2-4 to a very strong team from Gresham's but a good start showing promise for the  new season.

U13 B: Won 3-1
The U13 B team also played Gresham's and won 3-1, an excellent start.

U11 A & B Girls' v Greshams

U11 A: Won 2-0
The first matches of the season saw the U11 A & B teams take on Greshams at home. With only a week to prepare for the game the girls showed real maturity and determination to play a great match of hockey. The A team were a little bit all over the place to start with but their energy and enthusiasm were second to none. During the first half they started to settle down and play some nice hockey by linking their passes together. In the second half Felsted looked much more dangerous and had some good shots on goal. The final score was 2-0 to Greshams but Felsted learnt a great deal during the game and look forward to putting it into practice.

U11 B: Lost 4-0
The U11 B team started well and looked very dangerous from the off. They played well in their positions and moved the ball around with good control. Unfortunately we were a little too nice to Greshams with our tackles and let in a few easy goals. The second half showed more composure on the ball and again we looked dangerous but we could not quite find the net. Greshams won 4-0 but Felsted gave their all.
