SPORT// HOCKEY U13 XI The U13 girls team has had a positive and successful season of hockey. The girls displayed some excellent skills and teamwork in every game they played. Lot’s of versatility was needed by all players to move into different positions, and the girls adapted easily to this. The standard of hockey this year has been huge and it has been a challenge for the girls. However they have stepped up their game and played with grit and determination. They played some great hockey in the Pocklington invitational tournament and had some great wins against Terrington and Scarborough. The girls have all worked very hard U12 XI U12 A = P9 / W5 / D1 / L3 U12 B = P7 / W5 / D2 / L0 U12 C = P3 / W1 / D0 / L2 U12 D = P2 / W1 / D0 / L1 The U12s have been a fantastic group of girls who have been a real pleasure to work with this season. The highlight of the term for the As was certainly the 6-5 win against Mount St Mary’s. The girls were 5-4 down with only 3 minutes to go, but so determined was Daisy Luckett to win, that she scored two goals in quick succession to bring home an excellent victory against strong opposition! Bella Foley has played superbly in goal for the As, ably supported by Orla Jamieson and Honey Roe in defence. Izzy Rowley, Evie Rennison and Scarlett Robinson have worked tirelessly in midfield with Daisy Luckett working superbly as centre forward. and been determined in every game they play. On the whole a fab hockey season for the U13 girls both A & B teams, they have all put in a huge amount of effort and dedication in games, practices and matches, which has paid off greatly for the girls. Good luck for the 2018 hockey season. Well done! U13 A Player of the Season: Rosie Snelling U13 A Most Improved Player: Alex Brown U13 B Player of the Season: Annabel Chiverton U13 B Most Improved Player: Jenni Harrison FM The Bs, at the time of writing, have been unbeaten this season. They have been an excellent team, showing much potential. The team has changed often as new players have been given the chance to play, but a special mention must go to Maisie Spruyt, Jessica Dyson, Lucy Grewer and Bethany Fenwick who have all played very well indeed throughout. Kitty Webber also deserves a mention for attending every practice and for being first out each week. Well done. The C and D teams have also improved so much and I am sure that some of these girls will be pushing for places in the higher teams next year. Players who have shown a great deal of improvement since the beginning of the term are Annie Pearson and Hattie Hawkes. Very well done to all the girls. Distinctions for contributions to U12 hockey go to Izzy Rowley and Lucy Grewer, whose approach and attitude towards both their hockey and their other team mates has been first class.
