Bridgwater Hockey club hosted a Somerset U14 hockey tournament at Chilton Trinity on Sunday. The Bridgwater mixed team of Fred R (GK), Olly Mck, Lucas H, Alfie J-S, Alicia S, Poppy W, Jorja H and Sasha H played against Chard A, Chard B, Taunton V girls, Yeovil. Strong tackling and clever passing from Lucas helped protect the D and start attacking moves. Olly also defended well and energetically used the space available to get the ball into scoring positions. Poppy and Alicia grew in confidence and strength throughout and dominated the defence especially in the final game v TV with Alicia’s strong hits helping to spread the game. Fred was also strong in goal making some dynamic saves and kicking the ball away from danger. Alfie worked tirelessly causing the opposition all sorts of trouble as he dribbled into dangerous positions. Jorja worked well on the wing and tiny Sasha, playing against players 3/4 years older than her, showed no fear tackling hard and intercepting the ball. Goals for Olly, Lucas, Alfie helped secure a win against Chard.
A great morning of hockey.. well done to everyone. Thanks too to parents Rachel, Lisa and Matt who helped with the timekeeping for the smooth running of the tournament and to Joe S for coaching and organising the pitches.
