The U14 girls had their first game of the season, playing Aldershot and Farnham in the first round of the Hampshire cup.
With a squad of nearly 20, many new to hockey this season, we ensured that all the young ladies had as much pitch time as possible, no mean feat for the coaching staff!
We played very well, coming close to scoring early on with some excellent, proper, passing hockey. The score remained level at 0-0 for nearly 20 minutes.
AFHC played direct and their key player was instrumental in setting up most of their goals, eventually running away with the game 6-0.
The score belied our ladies effort and the style of hockey they played will see them develop hugely over the course of the season.
