A busy Sunday for Repton HC!
Posted by on 20 February 2017
Five teams were in action this Sunday in the last group games of the Tier 1 U14/16 competitions and the U18s Girls Plate Quarter Finals.
Our BMW U18 girls travelled away to Sutton Coldfield for their Quarter Finals and came away with a convincing 12-0 victory to qualify for the Semi Finals of the Plate, away at Cheltenham on 9th April.
The Bulls Head U16 boys, who had already qualified for Regionals, played their last Tier 1 group game at home against West Bridgford and secured a 12-1 victory with six different players getting their name on the score sheet. The boys will now face the 7 other top teams in the Midlands Cluster at the Tier 2 Regional Rounds on 5th March.
The BMW U16 girls, who have also already qualified top of their league in the Tier 1 stage, played a friendly fixture against a strong U16/18 Brooklands HC. They battled out a 5-0 victory in an entertaining, competitive game which was useful preparation for the girls' Regional Rounds on Sunday 12th March. Thanks to Brooklands for making the journey down to Repton for such an enjoyable fixture!
Our SCC U14 girls played their last Tier 1 group game against local team Beeston, with both teams on the same points and goal difference heading to Regionals! With both teams starting quite tentatively, watched by a large crowd of spectators, the girls settled into a great game of hockey for both sides. The 0-0 draw at the end of the match was a good result for both teams after 60 minutes of great U14 hockey - a true testament to the high standard of Midlands junior hockey at this age group. Best of luck to both teams as they head to the Regionals on Sunday 2nd April.
The Tandem U14 boys battled hard in their last Tier 1 group round against a strong Alderley Edge side. The boys needed a win or draw to qualify for Regionals, but unfortunately lost out in the last minute of the game with an open play Alderley Edge goal resulting in a 1-2 loss. We wish Alderley Edge the best of luck in the Northern Regional Rounds and the boys should be pleased with their development and progress in their first season together with Repton HC.
