Our U10 and U11 hockey teams travelled to Bilton Grange on Wednesday 6 December.
The Under 9 boys have shown exciting skills and some fantastic improvement over the term. They suspected that Solihull would provide a stern test and so it proved.
The 'A' team struggled to get their passing going but did show some high level individual skills. They also tried to play at a quick pace so that they got into good habits, Matthew Thomas did this well. Marco Rodriguez Hernandez tried to get Crescent going by spreading passes but the final ball let the hosts down.
Good defending kept Solihull at bay but they were dominating the play. Eventually, Crescent won a short corner and taker Matthew Thomas scored after it was returned to him. The pressure from the visitors told though, and, despite debutant goalkeeper Josh Gorbutt’s best efforts, they scored three good goals. A 3-1 loss but the potential is promising.
The 'B' team showed their improvement in skills as they played some very impressive hockey. Connor Kennedy was low in the tackle and the hosts dominated the early stages. Euan Nelson tried to spread the play and James Wright showed his usual energy. Tom Ferguson scored but Solihull cancelled out the goal and it finished 1-1.
Well done to both teams.
There will be no swimming on Tuesday 19 December for Class I and II due to it being the last day of term.
