We had a great day this Saturday, starting with Under 9 mixed team, they had a good win over Pukekohe United Lions and are now starting to play with more width and good team work.
Our Under 9 Girls team played their first real game against Papakura (they had a bye last week). These girls are committed, determined and put everything they have learned at practise into this game. They came away with a well fought draw.
Our Under 11 team played some exciting hockey against Kohekohe Yellow with the half time score being 2-2. This team have many new players to hockey it is pleasing to see their skill level and understanding of the game improving each week. The final score was 6-3 to Kohekohe Yellow.

Alfriston Arrows played Waiau Pa Pandas on Friday night, thankfully the rain stayed away for most of the game. Unfortunately the Arrows lost 3-1 and Waiau Pa take the Challenge Cup. Well done to Celeste for donning the helmet during a Penalty Corner and the team for the spirit in which the game was played.

Pretty good games Sunday, everyone played hard and all were close matches. Results…
Lady hawks lost 1-0 to Waiau Pa
Eagles drew 3-3 with Glenbrook
Arrows won 2-1 against United winning the Challenge Cup!

To keep it we can’t loose it! Lets own it girls!

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.
