A home win against Norwich Dragons

The Ladies 2s had a rearranged 2nd round of their Tier 3 England Hockey Cup game against visitors Norwich Dragons.

With the stand full of spectators and the weather being friendly despite the forecast threatening rain, the 16-strong squad of Broxbourne L2s were all in good spirits from Saturday’s win, despite the hangovers from the night before and the aching legs from Saturday’s game.

The Norwich team came out strong and had the Broxbourne team in their own half for much of the first 10 minutes of the game. Broxbourne stayed cool and only gave it straight to their forwards once or twice. Broxbourne settled into the game after this and the goals started to flow!

Goal 1 was from an excellent lifted shot from Lauren at the top of the D that sailed in past the keepers arm.

Goal 2 was from a short corner strike from Charlie which found the bottom corner of the goal.

Goal 3 was a well worked attack on the D ending in Cerys finding herself on the ball 5 yards out, which she belted into the goal before the GK knew what to do.

Goal 4 was from a short corner routine where Charlie found the backboard from a slipped ball at the top of the D.

Goal 5 was also from a short corner, which although didn’t go exactly to plan did result in a Lauren reverse flick from the top, to Cerys who brought it down on target from the post and finished off by Hannah who saw the ball safely over the goal line despite the defenders best efforts on the other post.

Excellent play all around made Player of the Match a difficult vote, a shoutout to Lauren for some great play but Georgia took the award from some excellent play in the midfield.

Pizza and birthday cake celebrations in the clubhouse ended a very successful weekend for the Ladies 2!

A great 5-0 win sees them into the next round, which will most likely be at home on 19th February.
