U16s Battle Bravely in England Hockey Plate

The U16s journeyed to Blundell’s for a gripping fourth-round clash in the England Hockey Plate competition. Facing a disciplined and tough opposition, the match began with Blundell’s scoring an early goal, putting the visitors on the back foot.

Despite the setback, the girls showcased determination, fighting relentlessly for possession and maintaining composure under pressure. Their calm approach on the ball and effective outlet play earned them a couple of early short corners, though Blundell’s defended resolutely.

At half-time, Blundell’s led 2-0 and soon extended their lead to 3-0 in the second half. However, the U16s were undeterred. Heidi brought the team back into contention with a superb counter-attack, calmly slotting past the keeper in a one-on-one situation. The match intensified, and in the final 30 seconds, Sophie executed another brilliant counter-attack, slotting the ball under the keeper into the corner of the net, narrowing the scoreline to 3-2.

Though the game ended with a 3-2 victory for Blundell’s, the U16s left the pitch with heads held high. Their teamwork, resilience, and refusal to give up until the final whistle drew praise from coaches and supporters alike.
