A sunny last game of the season made for a happy team on Saturday and much better conditions to play hockey in compared to the last time we played Cliftonville in December.
As is the story of our season we started with XI after another illness affected selection.
We started brightly with Suzi and Matilda causing lots of problems up front and out defense marshalled by Julie snuffing out all of Cliftonville attacks.
Abi opened the scoring after 15 with a lovely reverse stick shot past the keeper scoring her first senior goal as she let us know excitedly.
Cliftonville managed to sneak one in before half time making it 1-1 each.
In the second we took the lead again with Matilda finishing off a pull back from the baseline but after some goalline heroics to stop Cliftonville scoring they converted a short corner.
Suddenly a nothing pass from Kaitlyn up the pitch left Matilda one on one with the Ville keeper after they had cleared it straight to her, Matilda was cleaned out by the keeper earning a P flick as a consequence.
Susi stepped up to try and win the game and placed it nicely only for the Ville keeper to appear from nowhere and save it.
Final Score 2-2
MoM - Abi
Wow - No one
Special awards
Ultimate Wally - Susi for misdemeanors such as going to the wrong pitch and turning up after Pushback more than once (saving lifes is not an excuse ?)
Melon of the season - Heidi for forgetting a ridiculous amount of kit throughout the season and breaking her stick ?
