U14 Girls Festival
Posted by on 14 February 2016
The clubs under 14 Girls team, took part in the latest Devon Hockey Festival on Sunday 14th at Exeter School.
The 10 player squad consisted of Lucy Wiseman,
Izzy Rowlands, Hannah Woodhams, Abby Luxton, Fleur Mitchell, Annie Strawbridge, Emilia Bazeley, Eleanor Marvin, Grace James & Lucinda Aveyard.
Their first match saw them take on Exe 2, Lucy Wiseman in goal made a string of outstanding saves to keep the score line 0-0.
With moments left in their second game against ISCA 2, Grace James latched onto a loose ball in the scoring circle to level up the score 1-1, a confidence boasting draw.
With bags of enthusiasm the girls went into their third game against Plymouth Marjon hunting goals. Eleanor Marvin's persistence paid off and scored two goals in the game, whilst a well practiced short corner routine saw Emilia Bazeley score the third and final goal.
The final game came against the days toughest opponents, though buoyed on by their previous results the girls went into the game against Exe 1 with added confidence and a fantastic defensive display from Hannah & Izzy helped the team to a 0-0 draw.
A great team performance led to an unbeaten day at the festival.
A big thank you to the parents that helped coordinate the day and for their side line support.
