Girls Year 5 and 6 Inter House Hockey Matches 2015

Inter House Hockey Matches

The Year 5 and 6 girls took to the Saxon Pitch on Wednesday 11th November for their Inter House Hockey matches.  Six matches were played and the four House Captains (Lottie Bussey, Poppy Newman, Alice Brownlow and Jessica Westwood) were efficient in sorting positions and ensuring rotations took place between the players.  It is a difficult job girls and you all rose to the occasion with efficiency.

Burghley v Casewick

Burghley were quick to start the tournament with some good passing and positions were held well. Casewick took an early lead with a good break and strong hit into the goal from Daisy Selkirk.  A couple of unfortunate misses at the goal from Burghley lead to Casewick maintaining the lead and securing a win.

Score = 0-1 win for Casewick

Burghley Player of the match = Isabelle Branton for willingness in attempting using the reverse stick to shoot.

Casewick Player of the match = Daisy Selkirk for her understanding of the game and application of skill throughout the match.

Lindsey v Milton

A competitive and closely fought game with a series of unfortunate injuries.  A number of shots at goal that were angled just a little wide and a number of missed opportunities from both Lindsey and Milton.  

Score = 1-0 win for Milton

Milton Player of the Match = Sydney Freeman for effort and perseverence.

Lindsey Player of the Match = Alice Brownlow for control and movement.

Milton v Casewick

A fantastic goal from Jessica Westwood and some good defending from Ags Pennell saw Milton take an early lead.  Poppy Newman fought back strongly and ensured a convincing equalising goal was achieved for Casewick.  Daisy Selkirk ensured a winning result for Casewick by securing a last minute goal with only five seconds to go.  This was an even end to end game with everything to play for.

Casewick Player of the Match = Izzy Durrnads for good decision making and thinking where to pass the ball.

Burghley v Lindsey

A quick goal from Lucy Colman saw Burghley take an early lead.  Alexa Scott and Rosie Sly Burghley then put on a super penalty corner set play and Charlotte Dean was unfortunate with her shot at goal rebounding off the post.  After a number of good but unsuccessful shots at the goal by Charlotte Dean and Lottie Bussey, Izzy York-Forward ensured her goal made it a 2-0 lead for Burghley.  

Score = 2-0 win for Burghley
