Bracknell Ladies II V Amersham and Chalfont Ladies
Home Game
Pushback - 13:30
The game started well with the Ladies putting their training into practice and retaining possession for most of the first half. There were some excellent chances with fantastic crosses into the D from Star of the Game Zoe Yates. Unfortunately the forwards of Maria, Steph, Joy, Tracey and Rachael were unlucky with the conversions with the half ending in a draw with no goals from either side.
In the second half of the game the Ladies from Amersham and Chalfont woke up and started putting pressure on the Bracknell Ladies. The midfield players (Janine, Fiona, Izzy and Zoe) worked together with Niki at sweeper to keep them working for their possession. The opposition won some short corners in the second half but the defense of Bev, Jane, Becca and Courtney cleared the ball. Jo made some excellent saves in goal and the second half also finished with no goals.
The Ladies played excellent hockey and passed the ball well to keep possession as much as possible. The midfield tracked back when needed to support the defense blocked the efforts of the Ladies from Amersham and Chalfont by keeping strong helping each other. There were no 45 deg passes into the unknown much to the delight of Martyn and Mike. Short corners need some work but the performance was very good and if we keep improving like this we will be very happy.
