It was a glorious autumn morning at Sonning Hockey Club where we were welcomed to this months TVM tournament.
We had all of our available players with us today and they were put in to two squads of equal abilities. Thank you to Coaches Ian and Micky for supporting the girls as there was lots of subbing to ensure we had fresh legs and lots of touches on the ball.
Our Captains today were Megan Bond and Amy Shuttleworth who both guided their teams through some great game play with lots of wins, draws and only a couple of losses - each squad played 6 games. Our GK's Tilly and Edie made some exceptional saves and where also passing the ball out to the wings where they were able to keep us in control of the ball - their additional GK training is certainly shining through.
We were super proud of the girls today who played as a team, were adaptable to new positions, communicated well on the pitch and were making use of the wings well which defiantly helped us score plenty of goals.
Ian's squad - Edie, Isla, Megan, Anna, Aurelia, Chiara, Caitlin, Abbie, Holly, Ahrani and Darcy
Micky's squad - Tilly, Amy S, Katherine, Jessica, Anna N, Jasmine, Isobel, Vibha, Lauren and Vidhi
Final thanks goes to Hollie for Umpiring Micky's squad, our parents for supporting the girls on the sideline, Isla and mum Natasha for the "celebrations" and to Sonning for hosting us so well.
Awesome hockey was played today.
