U13 & U11 Girls' v King's College, Cambridge




U13 A: Won 9-0
On a small pitch it was not easy to play our best hockey but we won easily against a weak side.

U13 B: Drew 3-3
We could have won this game easily but missed several easy shots and did not mark their players.

U13 C: Won 8-2
2 of the team had to play for the B team and others were absent so we played with the remaining 8 girls, with Abbey J playing in goal. Everyone moved around having 5 min breaks. This did not stop the flow of the game and the practice we had before the game played off, with Ellie K scoring 3 times from well placed passes from the right.  Chloe G, Sophie B, and Grace F scored great solo goals. Bethan H-L kept the midfield steady and the backs of Gemma W, Catalina K and Shola A made some telling tackles to keep the opposition's score low. A great team effort!

U11 A: Won 10-0
The girl's play some excellent hockey is some very very cold conditions! It was great to see the whole team moving both on and off the ball which allowed fluid and free passing hockey to be played. Felsted put early pressure on the opposition whilst holding their positions. This caused Kings to panic and Felsted were soon rewarded with the first goal by Evie. In what turned out to be a bit of a one sided game, Felsted showed maturity and control over the game. Goal scorers were - Evie (3), Hannah (3), Minty (3) and Holly.
Well done girls!

U11 B: Won 5-1
Felsted started strongly, passing the ball around well and moving off the ball. This was rewarded with 2 goals from Antonia in the first half. Felsted continued this great play and excellent linking between the players. 3 more goals, 1 each for Anotonia, Tash and Affrica were scored before a laspe in concentration allowed Kings to score. A very convincing performance on a freezing afternoon of hockey.

U11 C: Drew 2-2
The U11C girls played hard in the cold, wet and dark on Wednesday against a strong team of girls. Having taken the lead at first we had to fight back from behind for a 2-2 draw, it was an even game with the ball moving up and down the pitch. Mrs Lee disallowed a late goal as it was raised in the circle.

U11 D: Won 4-3
Good result having gone 1/0 and 2/1 down    to win   4/3. Felsted were more skillful and knowledgeable but rather deteriorated to King's level of play. Their GK was very strong and we did tend to shoot at her, however the Felsted girls will learn from this in the future. They all did positively in tough conditions and had fun.
