What drama

It was a very wet Saturday morning, but the team were all hyped and ready. The changing rooms were lively, the momentum moved into the back room for the pre-match talk. Mark focused the group on the game ahead and the whole team was pumped.

After a strong warm-up Sonning didn’t manage to take that into the earlier stages of the game. Southgate scored earlier from short corner. Sonning come back with an equalizer from Frankie who scores from some lovely passes down the pitch.

Southgate upped the pressure and scored 2 minutes later, then again and the again almost on the whistle of half time. 1-4.

There was a half time team talk which got everyone pumped and re-focused.

Sonning started with some nice passing around the pitch. Wilko scored from the left post in a short corner. Wendy scored with a lovely deflection and the tension was high, having got back within one goal. All of a sudden Southgate scored again. 3-5.

Not phased, Sonning pushed on. Frankie picked up the ball on the edge of the d, pushed it into the d, took a big wind up and smashed it into one of the top corners of the goal. Back to the centre, and some lovely hockey from Sonning after a few minutes of battling on the pitch Sonning gets the ball into Erica who calmly scores. 5-5.

Back to the centre with only a few minutes left. Southgate up the pressure again and win a short corner. The tension was huge, Amy gave a big shout, Emily ran fast, and Southgate lost the ball. Full time whistle, thank goodness. 5-5.
