U8s kicked off the first of this seasons tournaments away at Bournemouth.
19 Romsey players across 2 teams played teams from Bournemouth and New Forest.
Everyone had fun and we had a great time with goals for both teams.
Well done to Willow, Ezy, Esme and Beth for their debuts!
Great play everyone and thank you to Seb, Charlotte and Matt for running the teams.
Juniors end season in style!
100 juniors turned out last Sunday to play some hockey with all age groups mixed in which was super to see, the weather held out and the junior section was able to celebrate the end of a successful season in style at the Cubs new home!
Well done to all players and award recipients and of course to all our wonderful volunteers that make hockey happen!
BU10s In2Hockey
The U10 boys squad for In2Hockey were a young and inexperienced group who were unlucky to be in the tough side of the draw which Winchester and Haslemere didn’t qualify from. After 3 defeats, they scored 2 goals in an exciting match against Yateley. Resilient defending and the post kept the ball out of the goal with the final score 2-0 which boosted morale. Unfortunately the last game was against Alton which we lost 3-0 which was tough to finish on, until we learnt that they only lost in the final on penalty flicks which put a better perspective on it. The boys kept working hard and stuck at it in spite of significant age and size differences, plus having makeshift defenders as our regulars were unavailable. They should look forward to a better tournament next year.
Results
- Winchester 1 – 0 Romsey
- Romsey 0 – 2 Haslemere
- Romsey 0 – 4 Fareham
- Yateley 0 – 2 Romsey
- Goals by Rory and Tommy
- Romsey 0 -3 Alton
U8s successful at Southampton
Romsey went with an u8 squad made up of 20 players, split into 2 teams, to Southampton today. Although a bit chilly, we were very glad to be out in a dry tournament for a change.
Smiles all around as Romsey seemed to be on a roll with lots of super goals.
Special mention for Henry D, Max, Myah and Teddy for their debuts.
Goals from almost everyone one. 7 of the 10 Romsey 1 players scored today which just demonstrates how far they have come. Fraser, having just turned 5 scored his first goal, along with Jorgie and Erin! Teddy scored a hat trick in the last game, much to everyone’s delight. Zara, Alexander, and Ted returned to the score sheet, using their speed and strength.
Romsey 2 saw Henry D and Max scoring in their first ever tournaments and Madeleine opened her goal tally. Matilda continued to show her dominance.
Not forgetting some super defense work by Sally, Arlo, Freya, Louis, Ines, Alex, Henry H and Thomas, who again made a super save on the goal line.
Cheers and high fives all around. Well done Romsey!
U8s Bournemouth Tournament
Happy U8s after another successful tournament at Bournemouth, well played everyone!
U10s Battle the Elements
Through the rain and the cold the U10’s should be very proud of themselves for the hard fort battles they played on the pitch. We have been working on moving the ball into space and passing to our own players prior to Christmas.
U8s defeat the weather and the opposition!
The U8s had a minis tournament on Sunday and had to endure wind, rain and hail!
Endure they did with some super performances winning more than they lost with some really nice hockey and working well in their teams. Well done to all the players for sticking to the task in very difficult conditions and all our amazing volunteers for making the tournament happen.
Brilliant!
Minis wrap
13 hard core u8s/u10s turned up in the cold rain to end the year. Well done to everyone and many thanks to the parents and helpers for braving it today!
Happy Christmas!
U8s at New Forest
A whirlwind of games and huge smiles today. Lots of games, some wins, draws and losses but fun was had by the two Romsey teams. We deliberately played with less players today to create more space. Emily made her debut, well done! Some great goals and lots of running. We missed some key experienced players today however all players are improving every week.
Huge thanks to all the helpers!
U8s Tournament in Salisbury
Two U8s teams representing Romsey in Salisbury today.
Team 1 were unbeaten with 7 different players contributing to the 9 goals scored! Absolutely brilliant. Alexander made his debut and he did brilliantly.
Team 2 struggled to get going. With a Romsey v Romsey start, we hoped that would give them time to wake up. Finally by the 3rd game, Elijah’s determination paid off with a cracking goal hit hard through the posts, with that the goals kept coming and the first game was finally won! Special mention goes to Zara who came to play on her birthday!
