Match Report
Match Report - 03 Oct 2009, Aldershot and Farnham Hockey Club Ladies 4 beat New Milton 3
After last weeks mess it was great to get a full side plus a sub and time to get everyone organised and understanding their positions ! Plus a keeper and we were honoured to have 2 good umpires....could it be any better...well yes !
We dominated the game with a very young side ( 8 teenagers !) and played some genuine passing hockey. The oppo's keeper was rather good and saved many efforts till the second half when we managed to pass the ball across her to finish on the other post and scored three times. Firstly a hard slapped finish from Hatty Croft , next a self pass free hit from Sarah Rosewell who drove into the D and finished near post then a lovely goal from a series of 1/2s , the final one eliminating the keeper for Emily Harry's finish.
All in all a fine game which included a debut for Emma Gamble and a return to hockey for Emma Rogers who had a dominating game from sweeper. Everyone played well it was that sort of match and both umpires were praising the teams performance especially in playing to a team shape and in passing the ball around in "real hockey" style......long may it continue
