Results from Day 1
Men Vs Navy we won 5 -0 this has been the nemesis team for the men for the last few years and with 4 new players we finally managed to get past our nemesis. The players all combined and worked well together. It was a great result.
Women Vs Air Force we won 5-0 got off to as bit of a slow start but really combined well and got the job done. A good result for the start of the tournament
Day 2
Women Vs Army we won 6-0 Again a bit of a slower start but we got into our work and got to 2 nil at half time. The second half became a bit faster but we had an edge and converted a number of penalty corners to win 6 nil. A great result.
Men vs Army we won 2-1 a great result with a game played at a very fast pace and from end to end with a number of chances to either side but we ended the first half at 0-0 and into the second half
The men went from end to end an scored a great field goal and within a minute the army had struck back so 1-1 Out to the final few minutes and we won a penalty which was converted so out to 2-1 with a minute 30 to play but we held them out to secure the win
One of our players took a stick to the head and was off to hospital to have it stitched and one of the defenders blew a calf so he will be out for tomorrow.
Both teams played well and had some great moves for a teams that got together on Monday afternoon.
All the best for Thursday.
