U16 Girls Hockey at Simba

Caitlin attacking Simba's defence

On Saturday the 20^th of May , the under 16 girls went to Simba to play hockey. We were scheduled to play Chengelo and Simba but unfortunately, Chengelo could not make it. In the place of Chengelo , Simba managed to put together another team and so we were set to play Simba ‘A’ and Simba ‘B’.

  Our first game was against Simba ‘B’. We managed to score a goal in the first minutes of the game. They followed that up with two goals and so by half time they were leading 2 to 1. In the second half we slacked on defence and we had slow passes.

We lost that game 4 - 1.

 

Many u14's like Keysha made up the U16 team

  Our second game was against Simba ’A’. In this game, we improved a lot in both attack and defence. This gave us majority possession of the ball. We had better passes, a good use of space and good communication. We managed to score a goal and they managed to score two. Therefore at half time, they were  leading with 2 to 1. In the second half we managed to score [from a short corner] but it wasn’t counted [as the ball never exited the circle]. So we lost that game 2 to 1.

  Overall, we came out third. I think we played fairly well for a new team. I would like to commend the team for their great effort, Mr and Mrs Grove for coaching us, everyone who cheered us on and above all, God for a great day and protection.
