Hanslope School
Hockey Team Match Report
4 March 2010

Thursday 4th March saw our first matches of the season at Woughton on the Green.

The first game was against Bushfield A. It was a first outing for some of our players on an astroturf hockey pitch. We battled hard and had a few goal scoring opportunities denied by good goalkeeping. Unfortunately the opposition took advantage of a rare attack, scoring the only goal of the match in the first half. Second half pressure from Hanslope still could not see us score. Full time result:

Hanslope -  0   :    Bushfield A - 1

Hanslope’s second match was against a strong Portfield team. A quick start from the opposition saw Hanslope going a goal down. Some strong defending and good goalkeeping kept the first half score at 0-2 to Portfield. Full of enthusiasm, Hanslope came out for the second half determined to score. We were unfortunate not to convert some good attacking play with the score remaining at:

Hanslope  -  0    :    Portfield   -   2
