Ladies 2nd XI Match Report
Vauxhall Chiltern 2nd XI v Potters Bar Ladies 2nd XI
22 October 2011 | by Michelle Lewis
On another mild and sunny October afternoon, Potters Bar 2nd team set out to play Vauxhall Chiltern in another game of missed opportunities. The game started with the opposition winning the toss but chosing not to have first pushback, so from the off Bar had control of the ball thats where it stayed for the majority of the game.
Bar played some good passing hockey in the first half with Vauxhall only breaking through in to Bars 25 several times and getting their only one shot at goal for the game. Unfortunately Bar seemed to panic alittle on the ball and although with JoJo and Shelley attacking up the left and Emily, Amy and Katy up the right, Bar struggled to find their target even with some suberb strikes from centre forward, Esther.
With a half time 0-0 score, Bar were determined to prove themselves and with the arrival of a sub in the form of Nic Holland, the back line was rearranged which proved the making of some lovely dynamic hockey. Shelley and JoJo still working tirelessly on the left, bar eventually converted a short corner following an Esther Straus strike which rebounded to find JoJo stick who calmly hit it across the keeper into the goal. Play continued with bar dominating and everyone was having ago in the D including all the midfield. Vauxhall broke out several times but didnt even make into Bars D due to great defending from Cerys, Nic, Emily and Ruth. With some lovely switching around the back to Left to a free Cerys, back attacked up the right with some great team work with Michelle, Katy and Amy. Amy attacked into the right corner, dribbled into the D making a stong pass across the front of the goal and with several sticks there to receive it, Shelley got hers there in the end to score Bars Second and final goal of the game and secure the 4 points. Bar continued their great team effort and attack to ensure they didnt lose their clean sheet. A brilliant effort from the team and a fun game.
