On Thursday afternoon last week, d'Overbroecks Ladies Hockey team made their way over to Oxford High school where they played Wychwood 6th form Ladies. Here's a short account of the match by Hockey Coach Jo Kalies.
During the first 10 minutes, both teams battled their way up and down the pitch, with a couple of attempts at goal. Finally – despite some outstanding goalkeeping by Wychwood – Elizabeth Foulkes' second shot rebounded off the keeper and from Lizzie into the bottom left corner of the goal.
This first goal completely changed the game for d'Overbroeck's – and from this point on, our team dominated the game. Just five minutes after that first goal, Megan Burton took the second, set up by Amy Reed. Straight over the keeper's foot, into the bottom left corner again.
Half time came and went – and, although Wychwood defended well, one more goal from d'Overbroeck's came from Eva Rorsman, set up by an excellent pass from Sarah Pearson. So the final score was 3-0 to d'Overbroeck's.
Everyone played extremely well. Our defence (Kate Herbert and Chrystal Pereira) kept pushing play into Wychwood's half and kept pressure on them the whole time.
Woman of the match went to Amy Reed for her excellent coving of the pitch and strong skills around defenders – as well as her excellent teamwork.
