Youngsters shine

Saturday’s match was a brilliant display of hockey from both sides. Petersfield fielded a mix of young and mature players which made for an exciting display of teamwork with the youngsters showing their maturity. Many well worked accurate passes and some skilful interceptions with the opposition being somewhat overwhelmed by good defensive work. The midfield players of Stratton-Brown, Greenaway, Z Thomas, A Thomas and Geer kept the ball moving around to feed the forwards. Day, Donavan, and Keech made several attempts at goal but all were denied by Basingstoke’s lively goalie. The game continued in a fast moving pace after half time, with good use of passing into space for the wingers to run onto. The backs H Donavon, Day, Amesbury continued to show their experience and skill fending off oncoming attacks and an especially solid performance from A Stratton -Brown who kept the ball flowing finding space and creating opportunities. It was unfortunate to concede a goal from a defences foot which confused our otherwise excellent volunteer goalkeeper Simmonds who showed great expertise in kicking the ball on her debut. All players thought it was a great game but agreed the score did not reflect the match!
