A mixed day for RHC
Posted by on 6 March 2017
This Sunday saw Repton HC hosting the U16 boys Regionals involving Leicester, Lichfield and Worcester for a place in the National Finals. The day didn't go to plan for our boys with losses in their first two group matches against Leicester and Lichfield. A 2-1 win against Worcester in their final match was a consolation in what was a very competitive Midlands group. All the games were tight and played in a constant downpour but Lichfield were deserving National qualifiers after winning all of their games. We would like to wish them the best of luck representing our Midlands group in the Nationals finals in April.
Thank you to everyone who baked cakes, helped on the refreshments stall and supported our boys through one of the wettest mornings of hockey at Repton HC!
As the weather turned brighter it was the chance of the mixed team to play in the next round of the EH Mixed Plate against West Bridgford. The winning score of 13-2 didn't reflect the competitive nature of the game and all credit to West Bridgford who were threatening to the end. With 7 different goal scorers there was plenty of opportunity for some of our juniors to play with some of our more experienced adults in a competitive adult match - a special well done to Kazzy and Georgia on their goals!
Thank you to the three umpires, Dex, Cleggy and Will, who helped throughout the day.
Match reports will be posted on the club website by the coaches in due course.
