Well what can we say, a fantastic season and a fantastic day to finish with a lovely junior awards day on Sunday.
An amazing turnout of about 80 juniors who played an hour of fun hockey before the awards presentation
We all enjoyed some wonderful refreshments and amazing cakes from Alice and thank you to all our helpers on the day, you were brilliant!
Once again big thanks to our superb volunteer coaches and managers that make this happen week in and week out throughout the season and of course to our parents for their continued support of the club.
Final say to our junior players who have been amazing all season and we all look forward to seeing you back raring to go in September!
The girls had their last training session on Wednesday and celebrated their super season with a match against each other.
Some super hockey which the under 14 girls just edged then swiftly followed up with a pen flick competition with Ellie v all the girls! Great fun and Ellie pipped the girls by saving 9 and only conceding 7.
The under 14 girls dominated their game against Portsmouth as suspected but Portsmouth played hard to the very end and their inexperienced young team appreciated minutes on the pitch to help in their development.
The Portsmouth keeper had a super game winning player of match and although the final score was Romsey 14 v 0 Portsmouth , she made numerous fine saves.
Romsey shared the goals about and played some lovely pass and move hockey with even the keeper Ellie having a run out on pitch in the second half.
This extends the girls run to 9 unbeaten games and their last match of the season to come next week. Well done girls , well played all!
The under 12 girls had a super morning of hockey against Basingstoke winning all their matches in some lovely sunshine.
The girls worked brilliantly supporting each other and moved the ball with great efficiency creating lots of chances on goal and as a result scoring 19 goals over 4 games whilst only conceding 4.
Well done girls, well deserved and super to watch!
Today we took u12 boys to Basingstoke for the last games of the season. Missing 9 of our squad, we still managed to take 8 players, including Wlliam our u10s GK.
James made his debut and what an enthusiastic start to his hockey playing! 3 games today, we took a while to wake up, loosing to Basingstoke A 9-0.
The boys were lacking a bit of oomph so a talking to and a promise of scoring set them on their way to win the next game against Basingstoke B. With goals from Henry (with a sonic speed run up the right wing) and Noah in the first half, we were 2-0 up! At half time, I suggested they should up the ante to 3 goals and they certainly delivered. Goals from Noah, and 2 from Luca, ending 5-0 win.
Last up were Trojans, still excited from finding the back of the net, Noah opened the score sheet in the first minute…a cracking goal in front of Romsey supporters, who heard the crash of the backboard and knew he meant business! Sadly, we then went to sleep. Noah managed to score once more but the game ended 2-5 loss.
Well done boys, a hard day out in the sunshine with all boys rotating around all positions!
Below was Romsey B team, a successful day out, winning 3, drew 1 and lost 2 games. Tommy, Hamish, Imogen and Noah all on the score sheet. Well done to Ruby for her debut hockey match. Special mention for Reuben who was absolutely brilliant today working his socks off in defence!
Well done to all our In2 hockey teams over the last two weekends, the under 10 and under 12 boys and girls battled it out at Basingstoke hockey club along with all the other Hampshire clubs in a seven aside tournament with goal keepers and full hockey rules.
The teams were amazing with a lot of the players new to hockey and this format, all teams won at least one match and gained great experience of tournament hockey which they can use in the future.
The under 12 girls did exceptionally well and got through to the semi finals and agonisingly lost on penalty flicks but won the 3rd/4th play off to claim the bronze medal! Well done girls amazing!
Thanks again to all our coaches and parents who spent many hours at the tournament and preparing before hand , well done all!
The under 14 girls played out a nail biting game against Havant on Sunday and kept the crowd waiting until the very end after coming back from a 2-1 deficit in the last 10 minutes to score twice and win the match 3-2 and secure the league title!
The girls have had an amazing season and still remain unbeaten and have faced every challenge head on giving 100% in every game with all members of the squad playing their part over 6 months.
Truly well done girls a very well deserved title and still two more games to enjoy!
