Under 10 and U11 Girls' Hockey Battle Bravely Against Bilton Grange

Our U10 and U11 hockey teams travelled to Bilton Grange on Wednesday 6 December.

It was exciting end-to-end hockey played on both pitches, with the girls growing in confidence as the game went on.  The U11s worked extremely hard, with defensive players coming out early for tackles and midfield players reading the game well to make some impressive interceptions and take advantage with fast breaks.  Unfortunately, despite the fantastic crosses in to the D, these were not converted and the girls lost a well-fought match.
 
Final Score: 0-4
U11 Player of the Game – Olivia Sarkies
 
On the U10 pitch, our players showed great teamwork with some great saves from Cara Ridd and not to mention our strong defence.  The midfield players were distributing the ball well but again, unfortunately, could not convert the chances into goals. 
 
Final Score: 0-3
U10 Player of the Game – Lucy Hardy
 
Well done to all Year 5 and 6 girls.

U9 A and B Boys’ Hockey v Solihull (H)

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.
