Alfriston Hockey : Counties 9-ASIDE tournament Champions!
Last weekend we entered a club team into the Sunday competition, for the full field 9-aside competition.
First game back for the season we were all a bit rusty, and unfortunately lost 1-0 to One Puke Social
The second game getting used to the feel of stick on ball our lady’s managed to come away with a 1-0 win against Papakura
The third game of the day the team had begun to gel and suddenly were on fire coming away with an 8-0 victory against a previously unbeaten Puke United team, placing Alfriston on the top of the table.
Puke United pulled out of the competition at this stage, sending our team unchallenged into the final.
We were held in suspense as we waiting to see who we would be versing in the final as the playoff came to a draw and the 8second penalty shot outs went through to sudden death. But Papakura were triumphant over One Puke and were set to contend us in the final.
We we passing and attacking as a team which was great to see, coming away with a 4-0 victory!
Props to Katie for some fantastic goals on the day, Kirsty for slotting in to the team effortlessly and Ally for breaking the ice with our first goal of the day. Great work girls a promising start to the season.
