Brentwood HC hosted the next round of the North Essex Minis Hockey League on Sunday 7th November 2021 at Becket Keys School.
The girls under 10s started proceedings with results as follows:
Brentwood HC vs Saffron Walden HC - 2 -2 draw
Brentwood HC vs Bishops Stortford HC Team A - 1 - 0 win
Brentwood HC vs Bishops Stortford HC Team B - 0 - 2 loss
Congratulations to those who were playing in their first ever tournament. The opposition were strong this time around but the girls pulled off two great results.
The boys under 10s then followed as follows:
Brentwood HC vs Colchester HC - 1 - 4 loss
Brentwood HC vs Saffron Walden HC - 0 - 1 loss
Brentwood HC vs Bishops Stortford HC - 0 - 1 win
Despite losing the first two games, the boys stepped up their efforts in the last match and came away winners.
The under 12 girls played a lot of short games.
Brentwood HC vs Colchester HC Team one - 2 - 0 win
Brentwood HC vs Saffron Walden HC Team two - 2 - 3 loss
Brentwood HC vs Bishops Stortford HC Team two - 0 - 0 draw
Brentwood HC vs Bishops Stortford HC Team one - 0 - 2 loss
Brentwood HC vs Colchester HC Team two - 1 - 0 win
Brentwood HC vs Saffron Walden HC Team one - 5 - 1 win
3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses
Again the opposition were stronger than most teams the girls had played against. The girls certainly found their rhythm by the last game when the passing was flowing and the goals soon followed.
Finally the under 12 boys had a tough time of it.
Brentwood HC vs Colchester HC - 1 - 3 loss
Brentwood HC vs Saffron Walden HC - 0 - 2 loss
Brentwood HC vs Bishops Stortford HC - 6 - 0 win
Once again our Brentwood players stuck to their task and were rewarded in the last game where they were runaway winners.
Thank you to everyone who helped with the organisation, team managing, umpiring and teas/coffees on the day. Without this help we could not have run the tournament. More volunteers needed in future!
The next tournament is at Braintree HC on Sunday 12th December 2021.
