England Hockey posted..."The plate final was arguably the match of the day between defending champions Sevenoaks and Repton. A penalty shoot-out was required to split the teams after a brilliant 2-2 draw at full-time. Sevenoaks would have been confident of seeing their names engraved to the plate for a second year running as they lead 2-0 at half-time thanks to strikes from Max Denniff and Ali Taylor. However, a spirited Repton didn’t let their heads drop and an early second period field goal from Finley Newton restored the sides confidence. Hannah Davey got the crucial equaliser that took the match to a shoot-out. Repton were 2-1 winners in the nerve clinching finale, with Dom Bennett and Joe Sharp on target. Duncan Parnis finished for Sevenoaks."
The EH report of the semi-final...:The first match of the day was a plate semi-final between Repton and St Albans. Repton built up a commanding lead and went into the half-time interval 4-0 in front. Two field goals from Chris Beastall and Christina Jowett within the first three minutes of the second period put an end to the tie and with it St Albans hopes of a final appearance. Jakob Plant did strike a consolation goal on 63 minutes, before Chris Beastall rounded off a good mornings work, including his hat-trick, with just 5 minutes to play. The final scoreline, a resounding 7-1 victory for Repton."
