U11 Hockey Tournament At Bilton Grange
The boys wanted to build on their good start to the hockey season before Christmas with their first competition. This tournament would test to see where the boys are compared to some of the strongest school teams from The Midlands.
Bromsgrove was a tough test first up and the boys never really got going. Despite this, Josh kept the score down to 2-0 before George finished exceptionally well, lobbing the keeper to make it 2-1. The boys came back well and looked much more on their game in the next five matches.
Tense 1-0 wins against Bedford, Bilton Grange and Solihull, all through reverse stick goals from Fin, put Crescent in a position where, if they beat Foremarke, they would win the tournament. Foremarke were just a bit too strong. Josh was heroic again but could not stop the 1-0 loss.
Archie was the stand out player for Crescent in the tournament as, when he switched to defence, he kept it very tight.
