For the first league match of the season and with a team drawn from a variety of sources, this was a strong performance by the 4s. Defence was robust against pressure from the 3s, but the 4s were not playing a defensive game; opportunities were created up the wings and Jasmine Westcotts sweet strike on goal proved that this was 'game on'. Most importantly - the vibe was good, with every player committed to doing their job on the pitch and working together supportively as a team. A positive and constructive approach from the Captain and Vice made it a rewarding game of hockey, despite the 1-3 final score. Man of the Match - Hannah Oliver - for her work rate, skill and awareness of the game around her.'
