A Super Sunny Sunday for u12 boys
The under 12 boys played two matches this Sunday in glorious sunshine, the first match was a tough game against Bournemouth’s top team and a loss of 7-3 was a little harsh, the Bournemouth keeper made some fine saves.

Well done boys , and good luck next week at the in2 hockey tournament.
Soggy U16 Girls in Southampton
The under 16 girls played a well contested match in Southampton this Sunday in very soggy conditions. This did not stop them giving 100% and playing some super hockey that was not always rewarded.
Although Romsey lost 4-1 the match was evenly fought and without their keeper Southampton may have have seen a different result!
Isobel R scored in consecutive games and almost had a second which would have made the last quarter very interesting.
Well done girls and thanks to those playing up, a great effort all round!
Under 14 Girls Jump for Joy!
The under 14 girls were jumping for joy this Sunday after they beat Trojans in a tightly fought match winning 1-0.

A super team effort, great defending and some vital saves from Ellie G kept Trojans out in a tense match.
Well done girls almost there!

The girls defended incredibly well throughout the whole game and were able to get a second goal scored by Isobel R after a lovely move to make it 2-0 early in the second half.
Winchester eventually scored in the last minute but it did not take the shine of a fantastic win for the girls. Well done all, a great team effort!

Under 16 Girls prove tough opposition for Basingstoke
Although the girls lost 2-0 the score line did not tell the full story.
The team with 3 younger girls playing up put on a super battling performance in a match where they could have scored two or three goals themselves with one shot agonisingly grazing the post.
A 0-0 second half ensured Basingstoke got the points but a super effort all-round, well done girls!
Player of the match – Charlotte Akerman
