Report: 18-03-2012 – Girls U10′s Last Tournament of the Season

by

Having been the reason to cancel the last 3 of the girls tournaments, the weather more than made up for itself adding to the enjoyment of what proved to be a very successful and enjoyable mornings hockey. 
 
Slazengers were able to once again field two teams, the A team playing in the “C” league (being made up of the year 5 girls), and the B team playing in the “D” league (being made up of girls years 2 – 4).
 
Although the younger girls did not manage to win any of their games this week, they enjoyed all their games and were beginning to work as a team.  They all have a few seasons still to play in this age group and if they continue to improve as they have this season they will in time become the team to beat!
 
The older girls continued the success of the last tournament, winning 4 out of the 5 games they played – missing out only to Wakefields B team – they finished 2nd in the league and would (had there been any more tournaments) have gained promotion to the “B” league,  the final league positions could have been a very different story had the cancelled tournaments gone ahead.  With only the goal keeper (Lily Gilbert) remaining eligable for u10’s next season, this team will, I’m sure, continue to grow in confidence and progress their game during next season playing in the U12 team.

Girls U10's A team 2011-2012 season

The U10 girls A team took part in the minis hockey tournament on Sunday morning and gave an excellent and enthusiastic performance. Despite being drawn in a group in which all the teams were from higher divisions in the Yorkshire Hockey YHL, the girls were able to up their game and compete as equals.

Slazenger (0) vs. (1) L.A.Carnegie
In the first game against Leeds Adel Carnegie, the team were unfortunate to concede an early goal and although an equaliser did not materialise, the girls gelled well together as a team.

Slazenger (0) vs. (4) Wakefield A
In the second against eventual group winners Wakefield A, despite the 0:4 result the experience the girls gained playing such a well structured side proved invaluable.

Slazenger (3) vs. (0)
By the final game the girls were playing well as a team with each individual player making a valuable contribution to the 3:0 victory. By finishing on such a positive note I hope we can take this into the YYHL tournament next Sunday on the 27th.

A special thankyou goes to Katie Brown who gave up her morning to support and umpire.
