U19 Girls Hockey at Simba

The Amano Christian School under 19 girls hockey team went to Simba on the 20^th of May. We were supposed to play against three teams: Chengelo, Simba, and Lechwe; but unfortunately Chengelo did not make it. Therefore we only played two matches. 

Our first match was against Lechwe. I would say that we were not very competent of the hockey rules and playing positions that were allotted. This unpreparedness gave way to two goals for Lechwe. However, we composed ourselves more in the second half and had a better knowledge of what to do. This resulted in the scoring of two goals, both by Diana. The end outcome of the game was a tie: 2-2.

We had quite a long rest before playing Simba, which was our final game. Our defence was fairly good and we did not concede any goals. On the other hand, we did not score either. I would say that their defence was a strong line but we did have a few shots on goal and if someone had been cherry picking at the corner of the goal, we might have got a couple in. Nevertheless, it was a good game with good teamwork and effort.

Everyone put in their best effort but I would be inclined to say that Tenjiwe Mwanza, a resilient defender, played exceptionally well.

I would like to thank everyone for their efforts and the hard work you put in. It was a good day on the whole, and God can be thanked for that.
