Sittingbourne (3) 1-0 BEHC Diamond5

The Magnificent Seven Diamonds vs Sittingbourne, Away.

This team! With over 300 years of hockey experience on the pitch and just seven, yes seven, players on the pitch, we channelled our inner Sandra and went out to enjoy ourselves.

This week our goalie (Sue) earned her beer and in the second half made some super saves. She made an amazing save in the first half but had a flick awarded against her. Cruel but we must obey the lovely umpire. Shame the oppo scored, using one of their more experienced players.

We had more chances to score in both halves, with some fabulous, strong passing across the pitch. We were just outnumbered in the circle.

We welcomed back Ita who played as if she’d never stopped, proving that class is permanent. Netty, Emily, Sandra, Cat B and Daphne all deserve a mention as they all played blinders and made up the Magnificent Seven Diamonds.

This report would not be complete without mention of our hairy mascot, Tommy. Upset at being ejected from the dugout, he was ably cared for by Ita’s daughter. He could not resist objecting to the penalty flick in the customary manner for our canine friends.

No Wally of the Week. All Players of the Day.
